Port of Antwerp replaces Citrix by Awingu

Port of Antwerp (Havenbedrijf Antwerpen) plays an important role in the daily operation of the Belgian port. Their 1500 employees manage and maintain, among other things, the docks, bridges and locks of the second largest port in Europe. They are also responsible for towing and dredging work in the docks. In order to make remote working for their administrative staff safe, simple and efficient, they replaced their Citrix environment with Awingu’s digital workplace.

Benefits
  • Citrix alternative: In the past, teleworkers and people in the field at Port of Antwerp used Citrix as a solution to gain access to applications and documents.
    However, the Port was no longer satisfied with Citrix, as they found it to be a very complex and costly solution with an outdated licensing model.
  • Wide range of functionalities: Other solutions that were being considered weren’t completely HTML5-ready, there was no multi-monitor support and True SSO. “These were all functionalities that were high on our wish list.”
  • Simple and innovative: When comparing Awingu with Citrix, Port of Antwerp came to the conclusion that Awingu was the better choice, given its simplicity in both management and use.
  • Highly secure: A company like Port of Antwerp manages and processes a mass of sensitive data. Data security is therefore of the utmost importance, and they wanted to prevent it rather than cure it. That’s why Yannick Herrebaut, Port of Antwerp’s Cyber Resilience Manager, ran extensive tests on the Awingu software to make sure that Awingu’s “Zero Trust, zero complexity” mantra was right. The digital workspace passed all tests without any problems. “An additional advantage of Awingu is that our external IDP integrated seamlessly within Awingu. This allowed us to take full advantage of the built-in SSO capabilities to give our users easier and safer access to their applications and files.”

"Simplicity is a core value of the Port Authority, which is why we are always charmed when we find it in management software solutions. What's more, this simplicity means that we have much more time for other innovative projects, something that is in the DNA of the Port Authority."

"We were no longer completely satisfied with Citrix. We feel it is a very complex solution with many different servers. In addition, we found that the licensing model used was no longer in line with the added value for our limited user population. That's why we started looking for a simpler alternative".
