Retail Company Reduces Time-to-Market from 425
to 140 Days
Wolverine Worldwide, one of the world’s leading footwear and
apparel distributors, which provides marketing and licensing for
iconic brands such as Keds, Merrell and Sperry was looking for a
way to use more technology to create a holistic transformation of
the company. Today, one in every four pairs of shoes is bought
online. Wolverine’s digital transformation was intended to make
sure that the company could serve its customer expectations for
speed and selection in this new world order. Working with Citrix
and Microsoft, Coretek Services, an IT consulting company, systems
integrator and managed services provider developed a global
solution for virtualized 3D apps hosted in Azure that helped
Wolverine accelerate time to market for new consumer products.

Enabling global product development designers to work together
more efficiently was a key component of the implementation.
Wolverine had a 3D on-premises application that was used for 3D
modeling for 15 people in the U.S. headquarters. As other locations
adopted this application, an on-premises solution would no longer
work for its global locations in London and Asia because of network
limitations. Coretek introduced a Citrix secure digital workspace
solution in Microsoft Azure that used XenApp with HDX technology
along with NetScaler. Coretek took Wolverine from architectural
design to implementation and rollout in eight weeks, giving them a
fluid and efficient end-user experience that allowed designers to
collaborate more efficiently worldwide. The traditional process
took 425 days from idea to having a shoe in a consumer’s hands. By
using the Citrix technology, Wolverine can now do that same process
in 140 days.
In recognition of the successful work that they’ve done with
Wolverine Worldwide, Coretek has been selected as the winner of the
fifth annual Citrix Innovation Award for Partners. This award
recognizes visionary Citrix partners who are powering a better way
to work by delivering the experience, security and choice people
need to unlock innovation and be productive anytime, anywhere.

cloud-based technology, whether it’s our team in Asia, Europe, or

“Wolverine Worldwide partnered with us to move traditional
processes into the cloud. We were able to create this new
infrastructure within only eight weeks start to finish. We
re-architected to optimize the power of Citrix with HDX technology

Wolverine is experiencing increased time-to-market
efficiencies.”
