Powering Digital Transformations

Lufthansa Cargo, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Deutsche Lufthansa AG, is an international air cargo company employing 450 crew members and serving 45 destinations worldwide. Lufthansa selected VMware Workspace ONE with AirWatch for compliance enforcement, mobile device management, and application management and delivery to support a move to Apple iPads for a modern electronic flight bag (EFB) approach to eliminate in-cockpit electronics. This greatly reduced cockpit weight, shortened approval cycles for new technologies, and increased fuel efficiency. It also enabled Lufthansa to quickly provide new updates, applications and approaches to employees.

Akademiska Hus is one of the largest real estate companies in Sweden with property in 16 cities and nearly 400 employees. Akademiska Hus wanted to create a mobile environment to enable employees to work from anywhere and a solution that would be a cost-effective and sustainable investment into the future. After realizing a return on investment from a deployment of VMware Horizon, Akademiska Hus decided to further its mobility efforts through the use of the entire VMware Workspace ONE platform and adopt a digital workspace that includes integrated device management, application delivery and identity management. As a result, the company benefited from greater availability of information for employees, longer lifespans for hardware, reduction of helpdesk tickets by 60 percent, and an improved end-user experience compared to the past, with faster delivery and consumption of services.
