"Cameyo enabled us transition from legacy ERP to Cloud"

5/5

What do you like best about Cameyo?

Our organization faced a pivotal challenge in delivering our Windows-based ERP system, VismaBusiness, to all our employees who had transitioned to ChromeOS devices. This ERP system is the backbone of our operations, encompassing critical functions such as purchasing, warehousing, logistics, sales, and finance. In the realm of business-critical needs, this stood paramount.

After careful consideration, we made the strategic decision to implement Cameyo's virtual app delivery platform. This choice has proven to be a game-changer, simplifying and securing the delivery of our ERP software to every device (ChromeOS, Win, Mac etc) in our organization. Cameyo's innovative solution empowers our workforce to access the complete desktop version of our Windows application seamlessly through their web browsers.

The transformative power of this approach cannot be overstated. It eliminates the necessity of installing and managing software on individual devices, streamlining our IT operations significantly. What's more, Cameyo ensures that our employees interact with the same familiar version of the software, now accessible via their browsers. This means there's zero learning curve, preserving productivity and user confidence.

Cameyo played an indispensable role in facilitating our transition to Chrome Enterprise, a transition that would have been inconceivable without the ability to provide seamless access to our Windows ERP software on ChromeOS devices. In essence, Cameyo has become an indispensable partner, enabling our organization to embrace cutting-edge technology without compromising our core operations.

Cameyo has played a vital role in our digital transformation journey, and we couldn't be more impressed with the results. What helped us in the journey was Cameyos mind blowing customer support. Cameyo has the best support of all my suppliers, hands down. It has not only met our expectations but exceeded them, making it an integral part of our continued success.

What do you dislike about Cameyo?

Cameyo has been a valuable addition to our workflow, helping us manage our tasks efficiently. However, like any software, there are a few areas where it could improve, and one such aspect is the user experience during lunch breaks.

Our team primarily uses Chromebooks, and while the SaaS solution generally meets our needs, there are some nuances compared to the full Windows client. The most significant issue we've encountered is the need for users to restart the application after our lunch break. It's a minor inconvenience, and it doesn't overshadow the benefits of Cameyo, but it would be fantastic if this could be addressed in future updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cameyo solving and how is that benefiting you?

When searching for the right solution to enable access to our ERP software on any device, we originally began evaluating traditional virtual desktop products. After evaluating VMware and Citrix, it became clear that the complexity and cost of traditional Desktop as a Service DaaS and VDI products were not going to be a fit for Nordward’s needs.

To be honest, XenApp was so complex that we gave up after two weeks of trying to deploy it. With Cameyo we were up and running in just one day. We took another day of testing to ensure everything worked perfectly before rolling it out to our users, so within two days we were able to deploy, test, and take our whole legacy system live. That’s unheard of, especially when you consider of the complexity organizations have traditionally had to deal with when enabling virtual access to applications. But with Cameyo, it’s like they’ve absorbed that complexity and taken it off of the user’s plate.

Since transitioning to Cameyo and ChromeOS, we’ve experienced the following benefits:

Simple Scalability – ChromeOS Flex made it simple to convert our Windows PCs to ChromeOS, making it easy to scale based on our existing devices. And with Cameyo, as quickly as we could hand someone a Chrome device, they were up and running since we could publish and provide them access to any Windows applications they still needed to be productive.

Reduced Complexity – Cameyo dramatically simplifies both the initial deployment and the ongoing management of delivering a secure Digital Workspace. With Cameyo, we experienced at least an 80% reduction in time required for installation and ongoing maintenance. And ChromeOS Flex enables us to manage, track, and organize our users and devices quickly and seamlessly.

Cost-Effectiveness – ChromeOS Flex made it possible to transition to ChromeOS without having to invest a large amount upfront for new Chromebooks. And Cameyo brings dramatic cost savings compared to virtual desktop products based on the amount of time it saved us in deployment, time saved in ongoing management, and the fact that everything is included – we don’t need to tack on additional third-party tools.

User Experience – With Cameyo, our employees get to access the same desktop version of the software that they’re used to with absolutely nothing new to learn, so it’s a seamless user experience. And ChromeOS Flex has enabled us to deliver persistent Chrome meetings in between various geographical locations and remote workers to help build a better workplace culture.

There’s also a significant sustainability benefit of this setup as well. Nordward is deeply committed to sustainable business practices, and by transitioning to ChromeOS and Google Chrome we have the added benefit of utilizing Google’s green IT policies as well.
