ALVECON CHOOSES CEEDO TECHNOLOGY TO VIRTUALIZE THE INSURANCE BROKERAGE BUSINESS

Munich, GERMANY – March 3, 2003 - Alvecon runs insurance broker applications using Ceedo desktop virtualization and Mobility Office. Alvecon is one of the leading insurance broker companies in Germany with offices in every major German city. Alvecon GmbH & Co. selected and deployed Ceedo and Mobility Office as a standard system for its brokers. Using it, brokers get all of their professional and office applications on a USB device, achieving significant savings for Alvecon in deployment and management of applications and allowing enhanced productivity to its brokers.

Historically, Alvecon distributed professional applications to brokers on CDs from the insurers. This was difficult to manage and caused uptime problems. Additionally, due to incompatibility of some insurer applications, collisions between applications on the PCs caused huge support problems

The Ceedo solution dramatically improved the process by offering a virtual mobile work environment on USB drives with a build-in deployment system. The initial workspace of applications was created by Mobility Office on encrypted USB drives. The USB drives were deployed to insurance brokers in the field which were able to plug them into their PCs and instantly start using the applications. Using the Ceedo management system Mobility Office is able to support the systems in the field by remotely and automatically installing new applications to the USB drives as well as perform incremental updates to the installed applications and the client environment.

"The Ceedo and Mobility Office solution was chosen to dramatically shorten the deployment time and enhance our partner recruitment and our support cycles." said Mr. Joachim Kolodzie, authorized representative and project manager at Alvecon in Frankfurt. "The use of the Ceedo virtualization engine provided a unique portable plug and play solution for our insurer's applications. It allowed running them on multiple operating systems, and gave us the ability to quickly deploy applications. A nice additional benefit is recovery - in the past if a laptop malfunctioned, reinstalling the work environment took days. With the Ceedo solution, recovery is as simple and fast as plugging the USB drive into a new PC."

The deployed work environments include more than 50 software systems of the premium partners of Alvecon installed on the new Alvecon Business Center. It also contains the in-house analytical and advisory tool eVa as well as standard office applications. A particular benefit was to include the proposal software systems of insurers and product partners. "We wanted to ensure that our brokers are no longer bound by installation and updating of insurance proposal software. Therefore it was necessary to include the software in the distribution system from Mobility-Office and Ceedo. This was a great success. The sole savings just from the update process of the applications installed on the Alvecon Business Center is hours per month for every end user, "said Mr. Kolodzie.

Another key advantage is in the rollout process. In the past, the brokers had to do the initial installation of the applications on their own or for each of their PCs by the IT department of Alvecon. Mr. Jürgen Keller director of IT, "Now we give the brokers a USB Drive, all programs, Internet browser, portal access, e mail, etc. all preinstalled, preconfigured and ready to run. The broker only has to plug the drive into his PC. Moreover, an added advantage of the virtual environment was that the incompatibilities between the various applications no longer occur."
