Leading provider of innovative software for the insurance industry, Vertafore introduced today a Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS) offering that helps insurance agencies migrate and manage their insurance business in the cloud.
Designed to eliminate the high cost of maintaining existing PCs and desktops, as well as alleviate IT challenges associated with online premises hardware, the new DaaS offering empowers agencies with a comprehensive, cloud-based PC management solution. Through Vertafore's DaaS solution, customers can now access cloud-based desktops and programs from virtually any computer, browser, or device, including tablets and smartphones.
Around the globe, businesses struggle with aging desktop infrastructure, which can be a major hindrance in accelerating business growth. As a result, the global hosted virtual desktop market is estimated to grow a CAGR of 63.7% from 2013-2018, according to a Research and Markets study. Similarly, a recent Alberdeen report found that 34% of respondents cite the cost of supporting traditional desktop solutions is becoming to expensive to maintain, and as a result, the burdens of employing a dedicated It staff to manage PC maintenance, replacement, repair, patching and security, among other services, are increasingly pushing insurers towards virtual desktops or DaaS solutions.
