Logistics officers and procurement leads operating in forward bases rely on complex, thick-client desktop ERPs and custom Windows supply chain databases to track critical equipment, ammunition stores, and vehicle maintenance. However, these bespoke desktop applications cannot run natively on tactical field hardware. Forcing personnel to rely on paper logs or light web forms creates severe reporting delays and threatens operational readiness.

District nurses and community healthcare practitioners deliver critical care across home visits and local clinics daily. However, accessing central desktop Electronic Patient Record (EPR) platforms, such as SystmOne, EMIS Web, or legacy trust databases, remains an operational bottleneck. Because these thick-client systems cannot run natively on standard field tablets, clinicians are forced to rely on printed daily schedules or take manual notes, requiring hours of late-night

Enterprise IT leads evaluating mobile apps for field service frequently face a difficult trade-off: spend millions rewriting legacy ERPs into native mobile applications, or force field teams to use stripped-down third-party apps. Developing custom native apps introduces severe technical debt, multi-year deployment delays, and ongoing maintenance burdens as iOS and Android operating system updates break custom code.

Replacing mission-critical desktop applications (such as SAP, Oracle, or custom Windows builds) due to end-of-life (EOL) status or mobility demands introduces massive financial risk and operational downtime. Enterprise IT leaders evaluating legacy system modernisation frequently face the false dichotomy of either undertaking high-risk application rewrites or leaving field teams bound to stationary desktop workstations.

Traditional field management systems routinely bottleneck operations across energy, water, and infrastructure sectors. Field engineers completing telemetry logs and maintenance checks are frequently hampered by intermittent cellular coverage, unreliable offline sync protocols, and forced double-entry administration when returning to central depots.

Managing an enterprise IT fleet has become a balancing act. On one side is the pressure to cut capital costs and find operational efficiencies. On the other is the corporate mandate to achieve strict environmental targets, including the vital push toward Net Zero.

The modern smartphone is a technological marvel. The processors sitting quietly in the pockets of your field engineers, clinicians, and remote teams are frequently faster and more efficient than the bulkier, traditional laptops sitting on their desks. Yet, for years, the enterprise has remained tethered to rigid hardware structures.

Enterprise IT leads are facing significant licensing cost increases following recent VDI vendor consolidation and mandatory subscription bundling. Paying for full Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) is an expensive infrastructure trap for teams that simply need secure, mobile application delivery. 2GoCloud’s Enterprise Application Mobility Layer replaces multi-layered desktop virtualisation with a streamlined presentation layer, eliminating heavy VDI licensing overhead entir

For Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) and compliance leads in regulated industries, enabling remote work has fundamentally expanded the corporate attack surface. Historically, securing remote access meant creating a virtual perimeter using traditional Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) or standard Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) connections.
