Summary

Challenge: Touro College of Dental Medicine needed a faster, more consistent way to access digital tools across multiple campuses. Citrix licensing costs kept rising, endpoints were aging, and slow logins frustrated students and faculty. The college required a solution that preserved tap-and-go workflows while improving performance, security, and total cost of ownership.

Solution: Hudson Cloud Systems guided Touro through a seamless migration to Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) powered by IGEL OS and Imprivata Enterprise Access Management. The new environment delivered secure, badge-based logins in seconds and full peripheral support for high-resolution imaging and 3D applications.

  • Preserved workflows: Imprivata Tap-and-Go launches full AVD sessions instantly.
  • Device-ready: IGEL Advanced Device Redirection supports X-ray sensors, scanners, webcams, and speech mics.
  • Zero-trust security: No local data on endpoints, reducing attack surface.
  • Future-proof design: Cloud scalability for new campuses and AI-driven digital tools.

Results: Touro now delivers the same seamless experience for every student, faculty member, and clinic from New York to New Mexico.

“We tested and refined step by step so the experience felt seamless from day one. Students and faculty can count on the same secure desktop in any clinic or classroom.”

— Behan Venter, CTO, Hudson Cloud Systems
