Moving away from Citrix to a new EUC platform like Omnissa Horizon might feel like a big step. But with the right support, and with a clear plan, it’s often easier than it looks.
At ITQ, we take a practical, phased approach that’s shaped by our experience. From the very first design session to full rollout and user adoption, everything we do is focused on reducing risk, avoiding disruption, and delivering value quickly.
We typically begin by implementing Workspace ONE Access. We set it up as the main access point for end users, bringing both your current Citrix environment and the future Omnissa Horizon platform under one consistent, user-friendly roof.
Next, we start converting desktop images and replacing Citrix components with Horizon equivalents, like instant clones for fast, efficient desktop provisioning. Because Horizon is built around modern deployment models, this often leads to an immediate drop in complexity and overhead.
With the basics in place, we expand the environment gradually. With tool such as App Volumes for real-time application delivery and Dynamic Environment Manager (DEM) for profile and user environment management. These additions don’t come all at once, they’re introduced in waves to ensure every new capability is fully adopted.
The entire process is aligned with real-world deadlines that matter to your business, things like Citrix license expirations, Windows 10 end-of-life, or upcoming infrastructure refreshes. By tying our migration milestones to yours, we keep things focused, realistic, and manageable.
A large healthcare organization in the Netherlands recently went through this exact journey with us. With more than 7,000 employees relying on virtual desktops every day, keeping things running smoothly was critical. By following the phased approach we’ve outlined here, they were able to transition their entire environment to Omnissa Horizon—successfully, and in just six months. When deep technical know-how is paired with a clear, structured plan, that’s the kind of outcome you can expect.
Whether you’re approaching a Citrix renewal or are struggling with the approaching end of life dates by your current solutions, now is the perfect moment to rethink how your EUC environment supports your business. And with the right guidance, transitioning doesn’t have to be a challenge.
