UOB reveals virtual desktop for IT team

The UOB DevTop platform has been developed in partnership with VMware.

Amidst the ongoing pandemic, which has forced its IT team to adopt a work-from-home environment, the United Overseas Bank (UOB) has tapped software company VMWare to developing a secure virtual desktop, or UOB DevTop, for this vital function.

The UOB DevTop provides the bank’s team of 3,000 IT developers with a secure sandbox to test and implement upgrades to UOB’s digital services and solutions. It was developed by integrating VMware’s virtual desktop solution, VMware Horizon, with UOB’s IT and hybrid cloud infrastructures.

Susan Hwee, head of group technology and operations at UOB, said, “Tapping our technology and cloud infrastructure, coupled with VMware’s solutions, we developed and deployed a more secure virtual desktop solution at an unprecedented pace and scale. This enabled our team of 3,000 IT developers to continue to support the Bank’s business activities and innovation drive without compromising on security.”

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
