Revolutionise your workspace with Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD)
The experience of your employees is paramount to their success. Give them the tools they need to thrive, and simplify your desktop management in one fell swoop. We help customers to enhance business resilience and support flexible working by transforming desktop solutions, allowing access to workspaces from anywhere, on any device.
Your journey to a virtualised desktop
We help our customers to align to best practice and safely onboard to AVD using the following three stages:
Discovery & Design
Prepare for the adoption of AVD by performing a detailed analysis of your user profiles, user experience and resource requirements. We also identify your Azure environment requirements and provide a cost estimate for your monthly Azure spend.
Deployment
Experience a best practice design and deployment, where we’ve applied the findings in the discovery and design to ensure that we’re providing an AVD environment that meets your requirements, and can be optimised against the well-architected pillars to improve factors such as performance, cost, or security.
Roll-Out
We can provide admin user training, functional and user acceptance testing (UAT), and detailed documentation about your AVD environment to ensure you are fully comfortable with your solution. For end-users, we will also check the ability to log in and help them to understand how to access their desktop to minimise any disruption to your everyday business activities.
