Corel, a professional creativity and productivity solutions provider announced it has acquired Awingu, a provider of secure remote access technology, for an undisclosed amount.
Awingu will become a part of the Parallels brand portfolio. The combination of Awingu and the Parallels Remote Application Server (RAS) platform will give end-users added flexibility and freedom they need to securely work from anywhere, at any time, on any device, or OS.
Parallels, part of the Corel group, is an all-in-one application delivery and virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) solution that provides remote access to virtual applications and desktops delivered through on-premises, hybrid, or cloud-based environments.
Ideal for both mid-market and large enterprises, Awingu provides a secure way for organisations to facilitate bring your own device (BYOD) or work from anywhere policies through its easy-to-use and secure unified workspace. With this technology acquisition, the Parallels RAS platform will become a one-stop solution that gives customers the ability to easily access legacy and cloud-native applications and files, while alleviating the worry of data security and infrastructure complexity from IT teams.
“The future of work is now; we are living it. The pandemic further accelerated the need for organisations to determine and shift their remote and hybrid work infrastructures. Now, organisations are figuring out how they can cater to the flexibility that employees want with their workplaces while also ensuring secure and efficient access,” said Prashant Ketkar, Chief Technology and Product Officer, Corel.
“We’re committed to helping organisations navigate this shift in the workplace, and with the addition of Awingu we’re one step closer to improving the experience for every stakeholder that interacts with our products.”
Awingu will continue to operate alongside Parallels’ offerings to deliver secure remote workspaces for customers in healthcare, finance, manufacturing, government, and telco verticals. Additionally, Awingu will expand its integration with Parallels to accelerate innovation and provide a unified capability for secure remote access to both legacy and cloud-native applications. This will provide a range of solutions for customers leveraging on-premises assets, hybrid architectures, and any cloud.
“I’m excited to join the Corel organisation with the Awingu team. Both companies have a customer-first mindset and share the mission to ensure a seamless, secure, and effective workspace no matter where an employee is located,” said Walter van Uytven, CEO, Awingu.
“Together with Parallels RAS, we’ll bring a broader, richer set of solutions across the secure remote desktop and app streaming industry to our customers.” The Awingu team, including CEO Walter van Uytven, will join Corel, bringing their strategic and engineering expertise to the organisation to help accelerate product roadmaps.
