Revenue Commissioners plan to switch remote Irish employees to thin client computers, saving €1.7M annually and enhancing security.

The Revenue Commissioners in Ireland plan to switch work-from-home employees from laptops to thin client computers, aiming to save €1.7 million annually. These computers, costing about €589 each and linking directly to central systems, enhance security by preventing data loss from theft or loss. The transition will reduce costs to €577,000 yearly, while thin clients are expected to last seven years, compared to laptops' five to six years.
