Redefining the User Workspace Experience
CHALLENGES IN TODAY’S ENVIRONMENT
Currently, workspaces across the enterprise are overcrowded with cables, keyboards, desktop clients, teleconferencing gear, headsets, phones, KVM switches, multiple monitors, and stands—all of which consume valuable desk space. This cluttered setup often results in accidental cable disconnections, limited space for personal items or meals, and a reduced, restrictive work environment that keeps users tethered to their desks. Users are experiencing significant performance degradation, characterized by prolonged login times, extended application load durations, and overall system sluggishness—contributing to increased frustration and reduced productivity.
ENHANCED NEW USER EXPERIENCE
To drive modernization and integrate innovative technologies across both classified and unclassified environments, the program developed the Next Generation Workspace (NGW) concept design. This forward-looking solution reimagines the desktop experience by incorporating Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capabilities (where applicable) to enhance workspace efficiency and flexibility. Key features include larger monitors for improved data visibility and management, streamlined cable management systems, advanced ergonomic peripherals, and automated sit/stand desks to support user comfort and productivity preferences
BENEFITS
Collaborating with our trusted partners, FedData’s Engineering Team developed the Next Generation Workspace (NGW) concept to address key challenges in today’s user environments. This innovative solution combines a modern, streamlined design with intuitive functionality. By integrating both wired and wireless peripherals, the NGW minimizes desktop clutter and maximizes efficiency—fostering a cleaner, more flexible workspace. The result is a user-centric environment that supports seamless communication and mobility for both users and technical teams.
The Next Generation Workspace (NGW) solution—available in both Thin Client (VDI-enabled) and Thick Client (on-premises) configurations— drives productivity, streamlines virtual collaboration, and significantly reduces cable infrastructure and power consumption. Thin Clients leverage Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) to minimize patching and reimaging efforts, while enhancing overall security posture by centralizing data and system management. Thick Clients offer a robust on-premises solution for mission-critical environments requiring greater processing power and local control.
At the heart of the NGW is a high-resolution, ultra-wide curved monitor that supports multiple desktop applications, eliminating the need for multiple screens and delivering an immersive, focused user experience. With integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth (where applicable), peripherals like keyboards, mice, headphones, and speakers operate cable-free—contributing to a cleaner, more efficient workspace.
POWER USER PROFILES – PERSONAS
