Enterprise mobility software for modern teams: Why complexity is costing you more than you think

• Organisations are facing rising costs and growing complexity in legacy remote access tools.

• Modern enterprise mobility software provides secure access without dozens of components.

• 2GoCloud delivers smooth performance even in low-bandwidth environments.

• A simplified architecture reduces cost, risk and operational overhead.

Why legacy remote access tools are becoming unsustainable

Many organisations are now experiencing sudden increases in remote access renewal costs. Recent market consolidation has pushed prices up, but the real issue is deeper. Traditional remote access platforms rely on large, multi‑layered technology stacks that require specialist skills, dedicated hardware and constant maintenance. This creates a long-term operational burden that becomes more expensive every year.

Competing solutions often require numerous components such as delivery controllers, hypervisors, license servers, file servers and multiple management consoles. One vendor may require a mobile/desktop server, delivery controller, Netscaler, vServer and Studio, while another may require vSphere servers, vCenter, App Volumes Manager and more. This level of complexity increases both cost and fragility.

Organisations need a simpler, more resilient way to deliver secure access to enterprise systems.

A simpler model designed for mobility

Modern enterprise mobility software should not require dozens of moving parts. 2GoCloud uses only four core components: the server, validation server, client and an optional application specific gateway. This streamlined architecture reduces the need for specialist staff and removes the overhead of maintaining multiple technology stacks.

The cloud-based servers automatically monitor performance and reroute traffic if a designated server fails or becomes overloaded, ensuring continuing availability. Traditional vendors rely on primary zones, cached content or hardware limitations that can disrupt access during outages.

A leaner model means fewer points of failure and a more predictable operational environment.

Performance that adapts to real-world conditions

Efficient delivery even in low-bandwidth environments

Legacy remote access tools often struggle when bandwidth is limited. Many redraw the entire screen with every user interaction, which leads to slow performance and a poor experience. Data suggests that this is a common perception of competing vendors.

2GoCloud takes a different approach. The server calculates the effect of each user interaction, determines the pixel changes required and transmits only the delta. This enables smooth, efficient use even in challenging network conditions.

Designed for real mobile workflows

Traditional remote access tools were built for mouse and keyboard environments. On mobile devices, this results in clumsy interactions, navigation challenges and difficulty accessing small interface elements. Competing systems rely heavily on browser-based delivery, which forces users into constrained layouts and awkward gestures.

2GoCloud is built for mobility. Users can map custom gestures to complex workflows, turning multi-step actions into a single swipe. Voice recognition and specialised keyboards further streamline data entry, even in legacy applications. These capabilities transform rigid desktop interfaces into efficient mobile experiences.

Cost efficiency through simplicity

A simplified architecture does more than improve usability. It reduces cost. The initial purchase of the 2Go system is estimated to be equivalent to the annual renewal cost of competing solutions, making it significantly more cost-effective over time.

Competing vendors may be five to six times more expensive, not including the additional cost of highly trained staff and dedicated hardware. For organisations supporting around 10,000 users over three years, some legacy remote access platforms can reach well over £10 million in total cost, whereas a full 2GoCloud deployment remains under £3 million. This difference is primarily driven by architecture, not licensing, although 2GoCloud’s licensing model is also highly competitive, allowing each user to access the system from up to five devices under a single licence. Fewer components mean fewer servers, fewer specialists and fewer operational risks.

Looking ahead

As organisations modernise, the need for secure, efficient and scalable access continues to grow. Modern enterprise mobility software must reduce complexity, improve performance and support real mobile workflows. By simplifying architecture and optimising delivery, 2GoCloud provides a practical path forward that protects budgets, enhances usability and supports teams wherever they work.

FAQs

How does this approach support mobile teams? 

It provides consistent access from a wide variety of devices ranging from Windows 11 laptops and Chromebooks to iOS and Android tablets and smartphones, without relying on browser-based delivery or local installations. This ensures a smoother experience for field, remote and hybrid workers.

Can this model support legacy applications? 

Yes. Because the system runs centrally and delivers only the interactive session, legacy and thick-client applications can be accessed without redevelopment or device level installs.

Does this reduce IT overhead? 

Yes. With fewer components to maintain and no need for dedicated hardware stacks, IT teams spend less time managing infrastructure and more time supporting users.
