Verhoek Europe Renews Data Center and Workspace with Liquit

Founded in 1953, Verhoek Europe is a family-owned logistics and transport company that began by transporting reeds and rushes but evolved to support the carpet, awning, and industrial door industries through warehousing and transport. The international provider has thirteen branches across Europe.

In order to realize Verhoek’s future strategy, their IT platform needed to be addressed so that it could support the organization’s ambitions.

The Challenge

The first project was to address the outdated data center infrastructure, which had to be replaced by a new, future-proof environment. The second project focused on workspace independence, where personal work environments had to be available anywhere, anytime, and from any device. Within the company, everyone was still working on an individually installed PC; there was hardly any standardization. In addition, the existing platform had performance issues because it was used for application virtualization, but it was not suitable for providing a complete work environment for all users.

They started looking for a solution based on the three starting points of centralized management, virtual workstations, and uniformity.
