Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM), a globally acclaimed architecture, engineering, and planning firm, renowned for iconic structures like the Burj Khalifa and One World Trade Center, embarked on a groundbreaking digital transformation journey. Fueled by innovation and sustainability, SOM sought to revolutionize its end-user computing, marking a significant shift in their approach.
SOM’s digital transformation strategy focused on three key pillars:
- SOM Fabric: A geo-distributed file system facilitating real-time access to large data stores, laying the foundation for a seamless migration to the cloud and DaaS.
- SOM Stream: Powered by Frame, it replaced high-end workstations with lightweight Samsung Chromebooks, offering a sustainable and cost-effective infrastructure. SOM Stream proved instrumental in maintaining operations during the pandemic
- SOM Spin: Integrating Slack with Frame, SOM Spin enhanced end-user awareness of resource utilization, allowing users to extend Frame sessions as needed.
