Tricerat worked with Veolia to resolve their print management issues in Citrix. After partnering, collaboration resulted in secure and stable environment, ease of print management, and better user experience.
Veolia group is the global leader in optimized resource management. With over 163,000 employees worldwide, the Group designs and provides water, waste and energy management solutions that contribute to the sustainable development of communities and industries. Through its three complementary business activities, Veolia helps to develop access to resources, preserve available resources, and to replenish them. In 2016, the Veolia group supplied 100 million people with drinking water and 61 million people with wastewater service, produced 54 million megawatt hours of energy and converted 30 million metric tons of waste into new materials and energy. Veolia Environment (listed on Paris Euronext: VIE) recorded consolidated revenue of €24.39 billion in 2016.
Veolia has relied on two centralized Citrix farms to handle the demands of 800-900 Veolia employees who currently use Windows®. Veolia is under tremendous pressure to quickly and continuously produce large-scale time- tables, fare calculations, and tickets for waiting customers. As a result, the company must have a precise, reliable, and continuously fast printing solution.
Veolia’s server environment resides in a Citrix Presentation Server farm. Over the course of the year, plans are in place to replace it with a XenApp farm and an already productive XenApp farm with 45 servers. Veolia recognized that it needed to make changes to its printing processes in order to centralize them, make them easier to operate, improve reliability, provide real-time response, and prove cost effective to administer.
