User Environment Management for the Modern Workspace
The modern workplace is supported by a modern architecture to facilitate “working anytime, from anywhere”. In practice, this often means a hybrid and cloud-based environment with different types of devices. To ensure security, uniformity and a good user experience, a User Environment Management solution is needed that can flexibly deal with these components (especially the cloud component). Aspects like context-awareness, profile and policy management and extensive configuration options are important here. Commonly used endpoint management solutions such as Intune do not cover all of these.
About ProfileUnity
Having a platform-agnostic approach in mind, Liquidware has developed its User Environment Management solution ProfileUnity. ProfileUnity provides a fast, simple, scalable (and multi-tenant) solution for contextually managing the user environment. With ProfileUnity, user profiles are decoupled from the OS , making them universally portable across all platforms and OS versions. This has multiple benefits. For example, with shared devices, during migrations or disaster recovery.
Some of the benefits
Contextual settings can be easily configured
Lower management burden because no scripting is required and changes are processed in near real-time
Settings are linked to a user rather than a device which enhances the user experience
Migrations are simplified because of portable profiles
Security risks can be mitigated by enforcing central policies or locking down access
Suitable for hybrid environments due to platform independent nature

Ivanti Workspace Control end-of-life
In January 2024, Ivanti announced that it will be sunsetting its Workspace Control solution (IWC, formerly RES Workspace). This means current customers have to make choices about how they want to manage their user environment. ProfileUnity offers a future-proof alternative and is ideally suited for modern/hybrid workplace environments.
Migrating to a new solution always takes time and resources. To preserve previous investments and make the migration process as efficient as possible, we have developed a special migration tool that allows current Ivanti Building Blocks to be easily migrated to ProfileUnity.
The technical part
Supports the migration of Windows native user profiles and data to Citrix Virtual Desktops and Apps, VMware Horizon, Amazon WorkSpaces, Microsoft AVD, Windows 365 Cloud PC and Remote Desktop Services.
Suitable for reading and writing from native cloud services such as Azure Blob and Amazon S3 storage.
Enables advanced policy management (ADM / ADMX / Registry Keys), Dynamic Privilege Elevation and Application Restrictions and Masking.
Comprehensive management for Start Menu, Desktop and Tiles, Drive & Printer Mappings and more.
