  Draft, not yet reviewed. We come at IGEL from the virtualization side. The estate usually already has Horizon or AVD, and the question is what people sit in front of. That is also why the peripheral inventory is the first thing we ask for and the security case is the second.

## The partnership

Our team has specialised in virtualization and digital workspace technology for years, and
IGEL is what completes that at the other end of the wire. We build the desktops, and IGEL
covers the endpoints.

## What IGEL is built for

In a production estate what counts is stability, security, central management and whether
the person at the desk notices any of it. IGEL is built for those four, and has been
building secure endpoint software since 2001.

## What we do with it

Planning, implementation and the tuning afterwards. Our engineers stay current on IGEL and
on modern workplace technology generally.

## Where it stops

IGEL only fits when the real environment runs somewhere else. Anything that has to execute
locally will not run on it, and an inventory of those belongs at the start of a project.
