We are dealing with a specific issue in our VDI non-persistent environment, which operates using Omnissa Horizon (formerly VMware). We are employing a hybrid join for authentication that integrates ADFS and Entra ID. Here are the details of our problem: 1. Environment: VDI non-persistent using Omnissa Horizon 2. Authentication Method: Hybrid join with ADFS and Entra ID 3. Issue: Users are experiencing difficulties authenticating to Microsoft 365 apps within the virtual machine. The authentication process gets stuck in a loop when attempting to access the smartcard. I would appreciate any insights or experiences from others who have encountered similar issues or have a similar environment working successfully.

Has anyone implemented Zelle directly with EWS (Enterprise Web Services) instead of going through a reseller-hosted experience? What were the biggest architectural, compliance, and operational challenges you encountered, and how did you address them? Can you please share your views on below...

1. Integration Complexity (How did you handle real-time messaging and settlement flows with Zelle via EWS & what middleware or orchestration layers were required?)

2. Compliance & Risk: What additional regulatory or fraud controls did you need to implement without the buffer of a reseller? How did you manage OFAC screening, KYC, and transaction monitoring?

3. Customer Experience: Were there any trade-offs in terms of UI/UX or mobile app integration? How did you handle customer support and dispute resolution?
4. Operational Overhead: What internal capabilities did you need to build or scale (e.g., 24/7 support, reconciliation, exception handling)? How did you manage updates and changes to the Zelle network?
5. Cost-Benefit Analysis: Was the direct integration more cost-effective in the long run? How did you measure ROI compared to a hosted solution?

6. Vendor & Network Relationships: What was your experience working directly with Early Warning Services (EWS)? Were there onboarding or certification hurdles?
