The Challenge: Modernize IT infrastructure to ensure security and mobility
With over 25 years of experience, Stapler Center Pieckert GmbH is a leading logistics and material handling equipment provider in Germany, specializing in forklifts and industrial machinery. Ongoing growth, site expansion, and evolving employee needs prompted the company to re-evaluate its IT infrastructure. Security, mobility, and efficiency became key priorities to ensure business continuity and operational support.
“Our terminal services no longer met the current demands for mobility and cybersecurity. We needed a modern workplace virtualization solution that would allow us to move toward a more flexible and secure infrastructure—without relying on VPNs,” explains Marcel Kipp, Head of Finance and Human Resources at Stapler Center Pieckert GmbH.
In 2018, the company migrated its traditional on-premises infrastructure to a private cloud, adopting terminal services via VPN. However, this setup showed limitations when facing new challenges—particularly regarding secure access, scalability, and user experience.
The Solution: UDS Corporate as the cornerstone of a secure digital workplace
Together with their managed service provider, BORGWARE GmbH, and after evaluating multiple market options, Stapler Center Pieckert chose UDS Corporate, the enterprise version of UDS Enterprise.
Developed in the European Union, this smart digital workplace solution by Virtual Cable ensures regulatory compliance—including key standards like DORA and NIS2. It offered exactly what the company needed: a unified, robust platform with a simple deployment model supporting multisite environments, reducing complexity while delivering a reliable and scalable IT ecosystem.
“BORGWARE recommended UDS Corporate as part of their 360-Care strategy. Thanks to their comprehensive approach and expertise, the implementation was smooth and efficient, with no impact on productivity and no hidden costs,” highlights Marcel Kipp.
Project Technical Details
The project involved migrating remote desktop servers, deploying FSLogix for user profile management, and configuring Microsoft Entra ID with native MFA (multi-factor authentication). All components run on a Proxmox-based infrastructure using RDP and HTML5 connection protocols.
Centralized and secure access without VPNs
Thanks to Virtual Cable’s solution, all departments and mobile users at Stapler Center Pieckert now access corporate applications and services through a single entry point to their private cloud—without VPNs and via a common interface.
“We eliminated direct data transfer between client and server. Only screen content reaches the device, which has significantly raised our security standards,” says Kipp.
The solution also brought notable improvements to IT management, which is now centralized, automated, and simplified.
Tangible benefits for the entire organization
Since deploying UDS Corporate, the company has seen multiple benefits:
- Enhanced security and regulatory compliance through controlled access and no direct data exposure.
- Flexibility and mobility with remote access to workspaces from any device and location.
- Unified management for the IT team, enabling centralized administration of all desktops from a single console.
- Reduced operational costs, thanks to process automation, centralized access without VPN, and decreased hardware maintenance and refresh needs.
- Increased user satisfaction, as employees appreciate reliable and easy access to their IT tools and corporate data from anywhere.
“I would recommend this solution to any logistics or industrial company looking for an agile and adaptable IT environment, with flexible and reliable access to all workloads and applications. It integrates modern authentication mechanisms and supports a wide range of platforms, enabling efficient project execution. UDS Corporate gave us exactly what we were looking for,” concludes Marcel Kipp.
Thanks to UDS Corporate, Stapler Center Pieckert has optimized its IT infrastructure, ensuring regulatory compliance and secure access to workstations—fueling growth and resilience to face future challenges.
