Forrester’s in-depth interviews with a healthcare company currently using VMware Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VMware VDI) yielded several important observations: It realized benefits in five general ways:

• Greatly reduced PC hardware, support, and electricity costs
• Improved data and endpoint security
• Enhanced business continuity and disaster recovery capabilities
• Improved worker productivity
• Better working experience for physicians, IT staff and hospital workers
• VMware VDI has exceeded the hospital’s high expectations in terms of ease of deployment, cost savings, and the ability to provide flexible access to individual desktops and information.
• The hospital has realized crossover benefits between VMware VDI and VMware VI solution in terms of shared learnings and costs.

The financial analysis provided in this study illustrates the potential way in which an organization can evaluate the value proposition of the VMware Virtual Desktop Infrastructure solution. Based on information collected in in-depth interviews with one existing healthcare customer, Forrester calculated a four-year, risk-adjusted ROI of 122% with a payback period of eight months. All final estimates are risk-adjusted to incorporate potential uncertainty in the calculation of costs and benefits.
