What We Deliver

Application delivery capabilities.

Centralised Application Deployment

Business applications installed once in the master image and deployed to all users simultaneously. No per-device installation. Updates applied centrally and available to everyone immediately.

Legacy Application Support via RemoteApp

Applications that cannot run in a modern cloud environment published as RemoteApp streams. Users access legacy software from any device without compatibility issues.

Application Packaging and Testing

Applications packaged for virtual desktop deployment and tested against your image. Compatibility issues identified and resolved before users are affected.

Software Licence Optimisation

Application usage monitored across all virtual desktop sessions. Unused licences identified and reclaimed. Licence spend reduced without impacting users who need the software.

Application Group Management

Different application sets published to different user groups. Finance team gets finance applications. Sales team gets CRM. Each group sees only what they need.

Rapid Application Rollout

New applications deployed to all users in hours rather than days. No need to visit individual devices. Rollback to previous version possible if issues are identified.

How It Works

From application audit to centralised delivery.

01

Application Portfolio Discovery

We document every application in use across your organisation. Version numbers, licence counts, and compatibility requirements recorded for each application.

02

Compatibility Assessment

Each application assessed for virtual desktop compatibility. Applications requiring special handling identified. RemoteApp candidates flagged for separate treatment.

03

Application Packaging

Applications packaged for virtual desktop deployment. Installers tested in the target image. Configuration and licensing settings applied.

04

Image Build and Testing

Master image built with all approved applications. Full application testing completed. Performance validated under realistic load before deployment.

05

User Group Configuration

Application groups configured in AVD. User groups mapped to the correct application sets. Access permissions validated for each group.

06

Ongoing Application Management

Application updates deployed centrally as they are released. New application requests assessed and deployed within agreed timescales. Licence usage reported monthly.

UK Case Studies

Application delivery across the UK.

Construction Company, Sheffield

Challenge: A Sheffield construction company used specialist estimating software that would not install on modern Windows versions. Staff were running ageing laptops just to keep the software working.

Outcome: Legacy estimating software published via RemoteApp. Staff accessed it from modern devices running current Windows. Ageing laptops retired. Software vendor engaged to plan migration path.

Retail Group, Birmingham

Challenge: A Birmingham retail group needed to deploy a new ERP system to 120 staff across 8 sites simultaneously. Their previous approach of visiting each site took 3 weeks per deployment.

Outcome: ERP deployed to virtual desktop image. All 120 users had access within 4 hours of the deployment window opening. No site visits required. Rollout completed in a single day.

Charity, Bristol

Challenge: A Bristol charity was overspending on software licences because they had no visibility of which staff were actually using each application. Licence renewals were based on guesswork.

Outcome: Application usage monitoring enabled across all virtual desktop sessions. 34 unused licences identified across 6 applications. Annual licence spend reduced by 28,000 pounds.
