Regional Healthcare Network Accelerates Migration from Citrix to Microsoft AVD
A regional healthcare network serving thousands of clinicians needed to migrate several thousand concurrent users off an on-premises Citrix environment to Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) before a critical renewal deadline. The organization required a solution that could deliver complex clinical applications, including Epic, without disrupting patient care workflows.
Challenge
Facing an imminent Citrix renewal, the network needed to move several thousand concurrent users to Microsoft AVD without disrupting clinicians who rely on Epic and other critical clinical applications.
Requirements
Legacy profile management and application delivery were too slow and rigid for the cloud. IT needed a solution built for healthcare application delivery at scale, without re-architecting how apps are managed.
Solution
ProfileUnity consolidated user profiles, policies, and application entitlements under one management framework, while FlexApp attached complex clinical apps, including Epic, at boot rather than at login.
Results
The migration finished well ahead of the Citrix renewal deadline. Clinicians now reach a fully functional workspace in under 20 seconds, with consistent access to Epic and every app they need.
We had a hard deadline, a complex application environment, and thousands of clinicians who could not afford disruptions at the point of care. Liquidware gave us the application delivery and profile management capabilities we needed to move to Microsoft AVD on our timeline, and the sub-20-second login times our staff experience every day are proof that we did not have to sacrifice performance to get there.
