Netherlands / SAN FRANCISCO —March 13, 2007 – Dekkers Intermediair, the leading provider of Service Desk & Asset Management Solutions, today announced a relationship with Thinstall, the leading Application Virtualization solution provider. The agreement establishes Dekkers Intermediair as the Benelux distributor for Thinstall, and the combined offering of solutions will give customers ultimate control over their heterogeneous IT environment.
Thinstall is a unique, client-less application virtualization architecture that allows “Thinstalled” applications to be run from any LAN, WAN, USB, CD-ROM, and Flash devices, with zero-footprint on the host PC. The applications, packaged into simple EXE files, isolated from the host PC, run exclusively in user mode, ensuring seamless execution on locked-down desktops with no device drives installed, enabling administrators to maintain a secure, clean and stable user desktop with a heightened level of security. Thinstall can transparently stream large applications from a shared network drive with no client or server software to install, as well as run the application “off-line” on the PC without installation or changes to the local desktop’s registry and file system.
“Successful partnerships yield solutions that better meet customer needs, something upon which Dekkers Intermediair prides itself. Today’s agreement between Dekkers Intermediair and Thinstall blends proven technologies by enabling joint solutions to provide customers with speed, ease of use, cost savings associated with decreased technical support, and the safest deployments possible,” says Chrétien Dekkers, CEO Dekkers Intermediair. “The agreement underscores our commitment to expand capabilities based on customer needs.”
“The relationship with Dekkers Intermediair allows customers to take advantage of the Thinstall solution, delivering the first infrastructure-independent application virtualization solution,” says Henrik Rosendahl, executive vice-president of Thinstall. “This partnership offers customers an unprecedented opportunity for superior desktop management, and adoption of a best-practice application virtualization solution. We are pleased to align with Dekkers Intermediair.”

About Thinstall
Thinstall is the next generation of application deployment. Thinstall’s Application Virtualization Platform virtualizes software delivery and access, enabling software companies and enterprises to deploy software without modifying the local operation system. Companies can deploy custom and licensed software across mixed Windows and locked-down corporate desktop environments without installation conflicts, system changes or impact on stability. Software updates are easier and faster because regression testing can be reduced to days instead of weeks while installation failures and the associated help desk costs are eliminated.
Applications virtualized with Thinstall can be accessed and updated over an existing delivery infrastructure such as internal company networks, the Internet, Web servers, CD-ROM and Flash devices. The application can be run on-demand on locked down desktops, off line laptops, Terminal Servers and Citrix environments.
Founded in 1999, Thinstall has been deployed to millions of desktops around the world. Customers include GE, the US Department of Defense, Qualcomm, Lucent, Northrop Grumman, Morgan Stanley, T-Systems, and Abbott Labs.
