Luxury European Automaker | Germany
User Base: 95000+
“We were managing a sprawling, fragmented VDI environment with over 200 sites/farms globally. Our engineers in Germany were having a completely different, and often worse, experience than our teams in the US. This inconsistency was killing collaboration and productivity. We needed a scalable, cloud-ready solution that could unify our infrastructure and give every user the high-performance experience they need to innovate. EUC delivered exactly that.”

The Challenge: A Fragmented Global Infrastructure Was Stalling Innovation
A world-renowned luxury automaker was grappling with the immense complexity of its global digital infrastructure. Their success depends on seamless collaboration between elite design and engineering teams across the globe, but their technology was failing them. The core challenges were:
Highly Distributed and Fragmented VDI:
The company’s environment consisted of over 200 distinct VDI sites and farms spread across Europe, the United States, and Asia-Pacific. This was not a unified system but a patchwork of legacy technologies, making centralized management impossible and leading to rampant inefficiencies.
Deeply Inconsistent User Experience:
The direct result of this fragmentation was a chaotic and unreliable user experience. Engineers in one region would have seamless access to graphics-intensive CAD applications, while their counterparts elsewhere faced constant disruptions, lag, and varying functionality. This inconsistency crippled global collaboration and directly impacted the productivity of their most valuable talent.
Lack of Scalability and Future Readiness:
Strategically, the rigid, legacy environment lacked the agility to grow with the business. It could not support the company’s ambitious plans for innovation and global expansion, creating a significant roadblock to their future readiness and ability to compete.
The Solution: Architecting a Unified, Cloud-Ready Global Digital Workspace
The euc team of senior architects was engaged to solve this complex challenge. We understood that a simple technology refresh was not enough; the client needed a new global strategy.
Applying our proven four-phase methodology, we designed and implemented a unified global digital workspace that consolidated the 200+ disparate sites into a centrally managed, cohesive platform. Leveraging a hybrid-cloud model with Azure, Citrix Cloud and GSLB Access layer, we established a standardized “gold image” and performance baseline. This ensured every engineer, regardless of their geographic location, received the exact same high-performance, reliable user experience.
The new cloud-ready architecture was built for agility. It provided the automaker with a flexible foundation that allowed them to seamlessly scale resources up or down to support new projects and global expansion, finally giving them the future-ready platform they required to drive innovation forward.
The Business Impact: From Fragmentation to a Competitive Edge
The transformation from a fragmented patchwork to a unified global platform delivered profound business results:
Consistent Global Performance:
The new architecture eliminated the regional performance disparities, providing a consistent and reliable high-performance workspace for all users. This dramatically improved global collaboration and boosted engineering productivity.
Increased Operational Efficiency:
By consolidating over 200 VDI sites into a single, centrally managed platform and access layer, the automaker achieved a 70% reduction in VDI-related support tickets and significantly lowered the complexity and cost of infrastructure management.
Foundation for Future Growth:
The scalable, cloud-ready solution provided the agility the company needed to pursue its innovation goals, confident that their digital infrastructure could now support, rather than hinder, their future growth and global expansion plans.
