RES Software stories on BrianMadden.com

As their name implies, RES Software is a software company. Most people think of them as a "user profile management" or a "user virtualization" company, although they have a few different tools that focus on runbook automation and workspace management. In 2011, RES announced VDIX, a standalone "reverse seamless" tool.

  • The ultimate user profile manager will sync Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, SaaS, etc. Now will someone please build it?

    It's been a year-and-a-half since I wrote We need a new “user settings” framework before rich internet apps will replace Windows apps . I'd like to revisit the issue because it's never been solved. So let's take this from an...

  • Vendor Bender: An update on RES Software

  • User Workspace Management with RES PowerFuse

    Large software suppliers are so focused on the management and maintenance of ICT systems that they tend to forget the other important half, the user side, of this management. Users would like to have a simple, uniform, fast and reliable workspace environment. Administrators would like to be able to manage this Windows workspace centrally, regardless of whether it is a physical or virtual workplace, implemented locally or centrally and whether the Windows applications are installed, streamed or virtualised. In many organisations the term ‘user workspace management’ is still relatively unknown. When the organisation understands the meaning of user workspace management and sees the opportunities and benefits this provides to the users and the IT organisation, the customer, in my experience, is often surprised that this solution has not been applied earlier. Customers who use user workspace solutions reap the benefits of this and never want to go back again! ...
