Thin Clients White Papers

A Technology Infrastructure to Meet the Future

Overview ShopKo Stores, Inc., is a Fortune 500 company headquartered in Green Bay. ShopKo found that the Wyse Winterm thin clients met all of their needs and outperformed other PC and thin-client solutions. By using more than 1,000 Wyse thin clients, ShopKo expects to simplify store management, and streamline communication between retail outlets and headquarters through access to server-based legacy and Windows applications. Wyse Winterm thin clients have no moving parts to break down and require no hands-on maintenance. The combination of legacy and the latest I/O ports makes the devices compatible both backwards and forwards.
