Customer success story
Endemol Shine Nederland
“With Amazon WorkSpaces, we can provide new workers with
a Windows desktop and the applications they need within
hours instead of days. Amazon WorkSpaces makes it easy for
workers to use their preferred device and for Endemol Shine
Nederland to maintain our security requirements. Because
Amazon WorkSpaces is cost effective and requires no upfront
payment, we have been able to save 30% of our desktop
operations costs and 70% on capital expenditure.”
