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.”

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
