AVD deployments across the UK.
Challenge: An Edinburgh financial services firm needed to provide secure desktop access to 80 staff working from home. Their existing VPN was unreliable and could not support the load.
Outcome: Azure Virtual Desktop deployed across 3 host pools. VPN decommissioned. All 80 users migrated in a single weekend. Performance improved significantly and IT support calls reduced.
Challenge: A Birmingham healthcare organisation needed to meet NHS data security requirements for remote working. Staff were accessing patient data from personal devices with no central control.
Outcome: AVD deployed with NHS-aligned security baseline. All patient data access moved to virtual desktops. Personal devices used only as thin clients. DSP Toolkit compliance achieved.
Challenge: A London professional services group acquired a regional firm and needed to integrate 40 new staff onto their systems quickly without issuing new hardware.
Outcome: Acquired firm staff onboarded to AVD within 2 weeks. No new hardware required. Existing devices used as thin clients. Integration completed ahead of schedule and under budget.
