What does AppSense do?
AppSense is the leading provider of user virtualization technology to enterprise organizations. User virtualization is a way of managing user-specific information independent of the desktop, and applying this information into any desktop (local install, virtualized, published, streamed etc) on-demand. This enables IT to standardize the desktop build, automate desktop and application delivery, and migrate users to new desktops – all while ensuring the user experience is seamless, personal, predictable and easily manageable.
AppSense technology is used around the world by companies such as JPMorgan Chase, Lowes, United Airlines, Wachovia and ESPN.

How are they different?
AppSense Environment Manager is the only enterprise solution on the market that enables standardized virtual desktop environments to be fully and automatically personalized “on demand”, without cumbersome profiles or scripts. It uniquely decouples corporate policy and personalization data from the desktop, manages them independently and applies them to user devices on-demand.
Why could AppSense be BIG?
With the rise in desktop virtualization, enterprises are looking for technologies that allow them to achieve the greatest ROI. AppSense technology does this by enabling enterprises to receive all of the benefits of desktop virtualization. Specifically, AppSense Environment Manager enables low-cost, standard desktop images to be used to deliver fully configured and personalized desktops to all employees. This ensures maximum user adoption from a standard base image, further reducing desktop management cost, as well the complexity and risk associated with maintaining a large desktop estate.
How they plan to make money:
AppSense plans to make money by selling their software. In 2009, AppSense had a dramatic increase in sales in the south central and southeast regions in the US over the past year, with significant growth in the company’s historically key industries, which included financial services, healthcare, pharmaceuticals and education, along with newer areas of growth such as government.
