Customer Story
Cascade Dafo increases factory workstation reliability and enables working from home
Founded in 1990, Cascade Dafo is the leading U.S. manufacturer of pediatric braces for legs and feet, serving children around the world. Rather than bracing heavily, the company builds a custom dynamic ankle foot orthosis (DAFO) that lets the foot and ankle experience as much useful movement as possible. Better mobility gives children a wider range of experiences, more success in their activities—and ultimately more control over their lives.
Teradici CAS helps us help kids on multiple levels. It protects personal data. It keeps costs down. And by eliminating the need to spend a ton of time troubleshooting workstations, Teradici lets us resolve performance issues very quickly—so our engineers can keep designing braces that change kids’ lives.
