13. Customer Success Story: Endemol Shine Nederland
 Endemol Shine Nederland uses contract video crews in locations around
the world to create their shows
 Preparing for a project took two weeks as the team had to set up, secure,
and ship hardware to a production site
 Endemol Shine Nederland decided to provide contract video crews with
Amazon WorkSpaces to run on their own devices
 The switch saved Endemol Shine Nederland 70% in PC capex, 30% in PC
operations, and reduced preparation time to two hours.
