          User ful deploys its software
        
        
          across multiple industries,
        
        
          including Energy, Oil & Gas,
        
        
          Healthcare, Call Centers,
        
        
          Training Centers, as well as
        
        
          Government and Military.
        
        
          “Industries have realized that
        
        
          User ful software is the best
        
        
          way to deploy a certain type
        
        
          of computer, which is desk-
        
        
          top computers, where you
        
        
          want high-per formance, low-
        
        
          maintenance and low-cost,”
        
        
          says Griffin. “Generally we’ve
        
        
          shied away from the small
        
        
          business market, but our
        
        
          product is now relevant for
        
        
          that space. Our new market

          tional VDI solutions to be too

          We’ve eliminated complexity

          Prominent projects for the
        
        
          company include working
        
        
          with the Ministry of Health in
        
        
          Ecuador as well as the Minis-

          the education sector has prov-

          countries, and that’s exciting
        
        
          because computers are going
        
        
          into environments where they
