How to Get the Fastest Possible Citrix Logon Times?eG Innovations
Logon is a user's first interaction with the Citrix digital workspace service, and hence, a slow logon can influence a user's opinion of the service in a way that no other metric can. Therefore, logon time is the #1 key performance indicator (KPI) in Citrix environments.
Slow logons have an impact not just on user perception, but also on productivity. When each logon takes minutes — maybe on multiple systems — it results in lost work time and costs the business. So, it is imperative that logons be as quick and non-intrusive as possible. But how can we make this happen?
Learn some of the best practices for Citrix Logon time optimization.

Storage? Windows? The application?
View these slides from our webinar where, along with HiMSS, Wendy Howard, Infrastructure Engineer with St. Charles Healthcare and Bala Vaidhinathan, CTO with eG Innovations, discussed how implementing unified performance-management powered a transformation from difficult, slow and reactive performance troubleshooting to well-planned, strategic rollouts, proactive maintenance, simple executive reporting and rapid caregiver support.
Managing User Experience During Cloud MigrationseG Innovations
Competition in the digital services world is about managing the customer experience. The cloud is an operating model, and migrating workloads to the cloud involves much more than ‘lift & shift’. In fact, the heavy lifting of cloud migrations may be much more about people than technologies.
Managing customer expectations requires that the user experience be at least as good—if not better—after a cloud migration than it was before the migration took place. Customers really don’t care about the ‘cloud’ per se, they care about the outcomes that cloud-based services can provide.
Learn how you can manage customer expectations and leverage services-oriented monitoring as a program of work within a cloud migration.

How to Extend Microsoft SCOM to Monitor & Diagnose the Performance of Citrix,...eG Innovations
Microsoft System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) is a leading platform for performance monitoring and management of Microsoft applications (such as Active Directory, Microsoft SQL Server, Exchange Server, IIS and SharePoint). However, SCOM does not have extensive capabilities to monitor non-Microsoft systems and applications (like Citrix, SAP, Oracle, Java, Sybase, etc.), nor does SCOM have virtualization-awareness for platforms like VMware vSphere, Citrix XenServer, Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization, AIX LPARs and Solaris LDOMs, or virtual desktops (VDI).
To extend the scope of Microsoft SCOM to manage these environments, enterprises have to look at multiple third party products that provide individual management packs, one for each specific non-Microsoft platform. This traditional "multi-pack approach" creates complexity and only provides a fragmented view of the IT infrastructure. This approach leads to slow problem isolation and diagnosis, and often results in poor user experience and loss of user productivity.

Gemeente Heerhugowaard aan het woord: “Productiviteit gewaarborgd ondanks het...eG Innovations
“Hoe gebruikt gemeente Heerhugowaard hun IT omgeving optimaal om thuis werken te faciliteren?”
“Welke problemen ervaarde gemeente Heerhugowaard en hoe hebben zij dit aangepakt?”
Deze en meer vragen worden beantwoord door Michiel Bakker tijdens dit webinar.
Het IT landschap wordt steeds complexer met de diverse applicaties in de CLOUD, lokaal draaiende software, gebruikers werkend vanuit huis en/of op kantoor. Dit stelt steeds hogere eisen aan uw IT organisatie. Het niet beschikbaar hebben van een bedrijfskritische applicatie kan zelfs leiden tot imagoschade. Daarom denken wij dat proactief beheer steeds belangrijker wordt.
Michiel Bakker, System Engineer bij Gemeente Heerhugowaard en Barry Schiffer, Pre-Sales Consultant bij eG Innovations bespreken de volgende onderwerpen:
Wat zijn IT uitdagingen binnen lokale overheidsorganisaties?
Met welke problemen heeft een gemeente te maken?
Hoe heeft de gemeente Heerhugowaard de medewerkers productiviteit weten te waarborgen tijdens de veranderde werkplek in 2020?
Digital Workspaces and the Customer ExperienceeG Innovations
Customer experience is driving the digital age, and with the number of digital workers exploding the bar for assuring the digital user experience is quickly being raised — and not every enterprise is ready.
Fragmented monitoring approaches can make it all but impossible to connect the dots between complex, heterogeneous technical ecosystems, and the customer’s digital journey. The digital workspace can be a logical first step towards digital transformation but connecting the dots between ‘X-data’ (experience or XLA data) and ‘O-data’ (operational or SLA data) is not trivial.
In this webinar, John Worthington, Director of Customer Success at eG Innovations and an XLA Master, shows us:
-What role the Experience Level Agreement plays in the digital workspace
-The importance of unified, end-user-oriented views of digital workspace performance
-How converged APM/IPM can accelerate your customer experience journey

Best Practices for Troubleshooting Four Real-world Java Performance IssueseG Innovations
If you are managing or operating Java-based web applications, you have probably heard your users complain many a time that "the application is slow". After spending hours, you find out that the issue was not your application, but with a third party service that your application relies upon. Web application performance issues can also occur due to code problems, database table locks or slowness on the browser, to name a few reasons.
Learn how to troubleshoot four real-world performance issues with Java-based web applications in minutes.
How to Get the Fastest Possible Citrix Logon Times? Optimization Tips for ...eG Innovations
Logon is a user's first interaction with the Citrix digital workspace service, and hence, a slow logon can influence a user's opinion of the service in a way that no other metric can. Therefore, logon time is the #1 key performance indicator (KPI) in Citrix environments.
Slow logons have an impact not just on user perception, but also productivity. When each logon takes minutes — maybe on multiple systems — it results in lost work time and costs the business. So, it is imperative that logons be as quick and non-intrusive as possible. But how can we make this happen?
Learn some of the best practices for Citrix logon time optimization.
How to Assure Performance in Hybrid Cloud EcosystemseG Innovations
In the digital age, quality of service (QOS) and user experience are the keys to competitive advantage. With the rapid adoption of hybrid clouds, assuring the performance of applications running in hybrid cloud ecosystems has become business-critical.
