Reduce IT Costs - oneclick

Reduce IT-costs

The digital workplaces from oneclick™ lead to savings in numerous areas compared to traditional IT infrastructures. By using oneclick™ as a complete platform service for application deployment, you can achieve savings in hardware, software, processes and external services.

If you compare oneclick™ with other cloud solutions, you will notice that many (private) clouds are offered at monthly fixed costs. oneclick™, on the other hand, enables dynamic scaling of the selected cloud resources, depending on current demand. You benefit from both, cost reduction and flexibility.

Conventional IT solutions no longer meet the requirements of top talents for modern technology and flexible workplace models. The cost of the future-oriented and secure workplace solution from oneclick™ is a fraction of what an employee generates for you per hour in revenue or profit or cost center remuneration.

Shift from on-premises to cloud infrastructure

The costs for an on-premises infrastructure go far beyond the purchase. There are significant costs for operation, licensing, energy supply, maintenance and spare parts during its lifetime. On-premises environments are usually not designed for high availability and include fewer security measures than Public or Private Clouds from professional providers.

With oneclick™ you can exchange high investments for plannable, monthly operating expenses. All running costs are included in the monthly fee. A cloud solution eliminates the need to rent and maintain dedicated premises for IT infrastructure.

oneclick™ is a platform service. This means that the oneclick™ experts are responsible for setting up, operating, maintaining and updating the platform. With oneclick™, you can deploy virtual machines from integrated Cloud Providers and manage them easily. You don´t need any additional virtualization licenses.

Server virtualization

Virtualization solutions from Microsoft, Citrix or VMware are expensive. Moreover, you have to organize an extra infrastructure for the operation of these technologies and set up the solutions in a lengthy project. You need specialists who take care of the environment and who are hard to find in the current shortage of skilled workers.

Physical end devices

Operating fat clients requires specially equipped hardware with high performance and, for many enterprise applications, an expensive Windows operating system. Application delivery via fat clients also complicates Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) concepts due to software distribution challenges and security risks.

Thanks to the possibility of accessing through the browser, with oneclick™ your employees can use their private end device and work in the environment in which they are most productive. Instead of expensive Windows laptops, you can issue Chromebooks and extend the depreciation period because the end devices require fewer system resources.

„By switching to the oneclick™ application deployment platform, we were able to optimize our IT holistically and reduce our total cost of ownership by 40%.“

With the Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) or Desktop as a Service (DaaS) from oneclick™, on- and offboarding can be significantly simplified. New or replacement IT workplaces are immediately available in a standardized format in the cloud. By simply assigning users to a group, they are ready to work.

On- and offboarding

Traditional on- and offboarding of employees entails numerous tasks in terms of infrastructure, devices and applications. Often IT is informed late about new hires and defective end devices have to be returned to the supplier. All of this can lead to production downtime.

Updates and patches

Software distribution via individual end devices requires the use of solutions such as Intune, whereby each device must be administered separately. Updates and patches cannot be applied consistently; they only take place when the user is online and available. Updates often cause undesired work interruptions.

oneclick™ in combination with integrated cloud resources simplifies software distribution. Virtual machine updates and configurations can be performed without interruption via images or an integrated collection of Ansible playbooks, which is a common automation framework.

With oneclick™ you shift the client desktop infrastructure to the cloud. Interruptions between client and server usually no longer occur. You no longer need MPLS lines, maintenance contracts for VPN gateways, IPSec configuration, bandwidth monitoring and licensing, nor do you have to provide mobile VPN or ZTA accesses.

Connectivity and access systems

For a traditional client desktop infrastructure, extensive connectivity and access systems need to be maintained, such as Virtual Private Networks (VPN) or a Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA). Often these access solutions require clients that have to be installed on end devices and therefore must be supported.

Login times and forgotten passwords

The launch of VPN clients or other access solutions as well as the recovery in case of disconnections can be confusing for the user as well as time-consuming. Often this increases the workload in support and causes additional costs for the company.

With oneclick™, users do not need to launch a separate VPN client. Instead of multiple logins, oneclick™ offers Single Sign-On (SSO), including password recovery. By integrating authentication services such as Azure AD or Okta, forgotten passwords can be greatly reduced through endpoint binding.

oneclick™ closes this gap by providing you with clear reports on usage time. This transparency ensures fair billing and gives you confidence that your employees are working effectively and efficiently, regardless of their location.

Verification of working hours

Working from home or on the move brings many benefits, but can also bring up challenges for organizations in terms of verifying working hours. It is often difficult to determine whether the reported working hours correspond to the actual work performed.

Endpoint management

Whenever there is a direct connection between the end device and the corporate network via a client, a professional and thus also costly endpoint management solution is indispensable. Even if the connection is encrypted, malware can otherwise be transmitted.

The highly encrypted streaming of oneclick™ no longer requires an antivirus solution on the end devices. Secure work is possible even with infected end devices because there is no direct connection to the server. Thus, you can save licensing costs for end device protection.

The oneclick Group AG is certified according to ISO 27001 and the platform is based on a modern Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) using a cloud portal instead of mobile clients. Unlike VPNs, users do not gain direct network access and data always remains at the secure hosting location. Integrated cyber insurance compensates for unlikely operational failures.

Cyber resilience

Traditional IT infrastructures are vulnerable to security breaches. Solutions like Citrix require a high level of expertise to make them robust and need to be patched regularly. Security updates that are not carried out in a timely manner lead to an increased risk of cyber-attacks and data breaches.

Support / Help desk

With traditional IT systems, user support is often time-consuming and complex, as support requests can involve a variety of issues. Technicians may need to be on site to fix specific issues or spend valuable time diagnosing remotely for different systems and versions.

With oneclick™, hardware failures and software incompatibilities are eliminated. Because users work in a unified, centralised environment in the cloud, many issues can be resolved faster and more efficiently. The shorter resolution time of requests impacts IT administration costs and staff productivity.
