Helient Announces the Launch of HeliX®, a Windows Desktop Composition Product that Streamline IT Operations

For Immediate Release:

August 15, 2019, Philadelphia, PA – Helient announces the launch of HeliX® — a new product that keeps Windows 10 desktops compliant with Microsoft’s Modern Windows Lifecycle.

HeliX is a one-of-a-kind managed desktop delivery service that leverages a subscription-based approach to streamline the refresh, re-composition and delivery of Windows desktops within the enterprise.

Along with the launch of Windows 10, Microsoft has introduced a modern lifecycle for their desktop Operating System (OS) characterized by major new versions released twice annually. In addition to fixing issues and addressing security vulnerabilities, these semi-annual releases introduce brand new features and functionality, resulting in a rapidly and constantly changing Windows platform. And with this major undertaking now occurring on an annual or bi-annual basis, the modern Windows desktop lifecycle represents a permanent 2-4X increase in the number of engineering hours spent on OS and application upgrade work.

“With the current pace of Microsoft Windows – now released twice annually – I was excited to develop a revolutionary product offering that organizes the complex tasks needed for a successful roll out into a seamless and intuitive workflow,” Jamie Engelhard, Chief Technology Officer says. “We heard our clients saying that they were struggling to keep up with the modern Windows lifecycle, and now we are simplifying and managing this daunting process for our CIOs.”

A HeliX subscription provides a continuous stream of the expert skills, knowledge, processes, testing, and troubleshooting necessary to successfully roll out new versions of Windows quickly, efficiently, and with complete confidence in the quality of the end result. As a HeliX subscriber you tap into this wealth of knowledge and information through a secure mobile app which permits you to access all the value-added benefits of the service and to tailor the scope of your subscription as needed.

“With the power of HeliX in your hand, you won’t need to staff up just to keep pace with Windows!” Engelhard adds.
