IGEL and Workspot – Partnering to Help Organizations Transform their IT Operations

Later this month, The Fontainebleau in Miami Beach will be the place to be as IT professionals, industry experts, and End-User Computing (EUC) enthusiasts come together for IGEL Now & Next 2025, the premier event for EUC, endpoint security, and digital workspaces.

This four-day event will highlight innovative strategies, solutions, and insights from IGEL partners. Among them is Workspot, which will showcase how it is redefining the way enterprises securely deliver applications to end users on any device.

We sat down with Amitabh Sinha, Chief Strategy Officer and Co-founder at Workspot, to learn more about the relationship between IGEL and Workspot and what attendees can expect to see and learn at IGEL Now & Next 2025.

Tell us about your company and how you partner with IGEL. How long have you been an IGEL Ready partner?

Amitabh Sinha: At Workspot, we are redefining the way enterprises securely deliver applications to end users on any device. Our unified digital workplace platform brings together DaaS, Enterprise Browser, Digital Experience Monitoring (DEX), and FinOps into a cohesive, purpose-built solution that is secure, scalable, and optimized for modern enterprises. IT can securely deliver (a) web applications into a device-local Enterprise Browser and (b) virtual desktops in Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and AWS with unprecedented agility.

Our partnership with IGEL is centered around delivering a secure, high-performance, and cost-effective end-user computing (EUC) solution. By combining Workspot with IGEL OS-powered thin clients, organizations can transform their IT operations by eliminating hardware refresh cycles, reducing IT complexity, and enhancing security with zero-trust architectures.

As an IGEL Ready partner for multiple years, we have worked closely with IGEL to ensure seamless integration, performance optimization, and user experience enhancements for joint customers across industries such as healthcare, financial services, government, manufacturing, and retail.

What are some things your organization is doing together with IGEL to shape the future of EUC?

Amitabh Sinha: The future of EUC is being defined by flexibility, security, and performance—all which Workspot and IGEL are delivering together. Our collaboration is shaping the next generation of DaaS (Desktop as a Service) and VDI solutions by:

• Simplifying EUC Deployments – Workspot eliminates on-prem VDI complexity, while IGEL-powered thin clients deliver a lightweight, secure, and highly manageable endpoint solution.
• Enhancing Security with a Zero-Trust Approach – With Workspot’s Zero Trust Network Architecture (ZTNA) and IGEL’s secure OS, enterprises gain a robust defense-in-depth approach against modern cyber threats.
• Optimizing User Experience – Workspot’s high-performance Cloud Workstations enable GPU-powered workloads for CAD, engineering, and creative applications, while IGEL ensures a fluid and responsive endpoint experience.
• Driving Innovation in Hybrid Work – Together, we’re enabling borderless workforces by providing secure, anywhere access to Workspot desktops with enterprise-grade reliability and ultra-low latency.

How has being a part of the IGEL Ready program improved your business or enhanced customer experience?

Amitabh Sinha: Being an IGEL Ready partner has allowed Workspot to accelerate customer adoption by offering a fully validated, enterprise-ready EUC solution that improves security, performance, and manageability.

One standout success story is a global manufacturing company that replaced its legacy VDI with Workspot desktops running on IGEL-powered thin clients. The results?

• 80% Faster Onboarding – New employees were provisioned with cloud-based desktops in minutes, regardless of location.
• 40% Cost Reduction – Eliminated expensive on-prem VDI infrastructure and legacy endpoint refresh costs.
• Stronger Security – Reduced attack surface with Workspot’s built-in ZTNA and IGEL’s secure OS.

By removing the complexity of traditional VDI, this customer was able to scale effortlessly while ensuring a seamless, high-performance experience for their global workforce.

What are some of the key trends that are impacting your partners and customers in 2025, and how is your organization solving these?

Amitabh Sinha: In 2025, organizations face major EUC challenges, including:

• Cost Containment & IT Simplification – By eliminating on-prem VDI and extending endpoint lifecycles, customers reduce CAPEX and OPEX, while gaining agility and resilience in their IT operations.
• Hybrid & Remote Work Expansion – Workspot + IGEL delivers borderless workforces with anywhere-accessible virtual desktops, allowing IT teams to simplify operations and improve end-user experience.
• The Windows 11 Transition – Workspot accelerates Windows 11 adoption by providing scalable, cloud-based virtual desktops that reduce the dependency on frequent endpoint hardware upgrades.
• Cybersecurity & Ransomware Threats – Workspot’s Zero-Trust Network Architecture (ZTNA), combined with IGEL’s ultra-secure OS, minimizes attack surfaces, ensuring data never resides on endpoints.
