Who is Cameyo?
Cameyo is a virtualization solution that delivers any application to any device without the Windows OS. Cameyo’s Virtual App Delivery (VAD) solution helps to reduce cost & complexity while helping organizations with hybrid environments to increase their security posture and provide a more seamless user experience.
Cameyo’s Virtual App Delivery (VAD) platform is an ultra-secure, simple, and cost-effective Cloud Desktop solution that enables you to deliver all your apps – legacy Windows, Linux, internal web, and SaaS – to any device while eliminating legacy virtual desktops and VPNs, unlike traditional VDI and DaaS solutions.

Priority – Reduce Costs and Increase Security
Cloud-first devices like ChromeOS, IGEL, and/or a BYOD model are ways that orgs can reduce their spending on device refreshes.
Regardless of the approach, these organizations need a secure way to deliver all the apps their people need to be productive from anywhere, regardless of device – without requiring IT to provision those devices in advance physically.
“The virtual desktop model of the past adds significant complexity and cost, which often impedes the adoption of cloud-first devices or BYOD programs. What organizations need is to provide simple and seamless access to all of their apps – Windows, Linux, SaaS, and internal web apps – on any device. But they also need a modern pricing model that enables them to pay based on the number of individuals using apps at any given time.”

What is Cameyo for Cloud Workers?
What is the new solution all about? With Cameyo for Cloud Workers:
- Whether the user is on a cloud-first device or their own personal device, Cameyo enables them to sign-in with credentials provided to them by IT, leveraging their SSO of choice.
- When the user signs in, all their apps appear immediately as Cameyo Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) without IT needing to touch the device.
- Cameyo provides the user with ultra-secure access to all the apps they need to be productive in a way that protects sensitive data and locks the user into the session, regardless of device.
- And with Cameyo for Cloud Workers, organizations can take advantage of a concurrent pricing model that enables them to pay only for what’s being used.
True Zero-Touch Enrollment with ChromeOS and Cameyo
For organizations considering ChromeOS as their cloud-first operating system of choice it makes sense to use Cameyo and ChromeOS for deploying and making managing these devices easier. With zero-touch enrollment, IT departments can drop ship ChromeOS devices that will automatically enroll into enterprise administration as soon as the end user connects to the internet.
It eliminates the need for manual device enrollment in the org and enables the user to get thethe device, connect to the internet and log in. And with Cameyo, the user receives instant access to all the apps that IT has provisioned for them as soon as they sign in, with nothing installed locally on the device.
The Increasing Demand for Flexibility
While many organizations are moving to cloud-first devices or looking to support BYOD policies, call centers and any organization with a large number of contract workers are leading the charge to empower more flexible work.
- Call Centers – In call centers, Cameyo for Cloud Workers enables IT to significantly reduce costs by migrating to cloud-first devices while providing call center employees with more seamless access to all their apps without having to switch back and forth from a virtual desktop. This helps improve both the experience of call center workers and the quality of service they can provide customers.
- Contractors – For organizations with large numbers of contractors, Cameyo for Cloud Workers enables IT to either ship a new contractor a more cost-effective cloud-first device OR enable the contractor to utilize their own device. In either case, IT can publish apps directly to the contractor’s device via Cameyo’s VAD platform without ever touching the device. When the user first signs in via the organization’s SSO, they have immediate access to all the apps they need. This also helps eliminate security concerns when a contractor’s tenure ends, as no apps are installed locally on the device, and access to apps can be turned off immediately.
Pricing & Availability
Cameyo for Cloud Workers is available to all organizations globally today. The concurrent pricing model offered by Cameyo for Cloud Workers is available only in a self-hosted model. Cameyo’s fully-hosted service is offered in both Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure. However, Cameyo (including Cameyo for Cloud Workers) can be self-hosted in any cloud, multi-cloud, hybrid, or on-premises environment.
Wrapping up
The new Cloud Workers solution will be a great addition to the Cameyo portfolio. As organizations continue to embrace cloud-based technologies and hybrid workers, cloud-native solutions will be the driving force behind the tooling companies need to bolster productivity and collaboration.
