Replacing these with PCs is overkill where PC functionality would be limited to terminal emulation. Thin clients provide terminal-emulation software resident in ROM and can use existing Ethernet infrastructure.

Thin clients make sense for enterprises running only a few applications that are not processor-intensive. By reducing the complexity of accessing computer resources, you increase user productivity.

They purchase software packages to gather asset inventories, maintain common desktop configurations and deliver applications. Thin clients are not for every enterprise.
