What We Deliver

Cloud desktop capabilities.

Complete Windows 11 Environment

A full Windows 11 desktop with all your business applications, files, and settings. Identical experience whether staff are in the office, at home, or travelling.

Any Device Access

Access your cloud desktop from Windows PCs, Macs, iPads, Android tablets, and Chromebooks. No specialist hardware required. Personal devices work as thin clients.

Persistent User Profiles

Each user gets their own persistent profile. Desktop layout, application settings, and personal files follow them across every session and every device.

Business Application Compatibility

Line-of-business applications, legacy software, and specialist tools all run inside the cloud desktop. No compatibility issues caused by device operating systems.

Offline Capability via OneDrive Sync

Critical files synced to OneDrive so staff can continue working during connectivity interruptions. Changes sync automatically when the connection is restored.

Consistent Performance Regardless of Device

Processing happens in the cloud, not on the end-user device. An ageing laptop delivers the same performance as a brand-new workstation.

How It Works

From assessment to cloud desktop for your team.

01

User Profile Assessment

We document each user group, their application requirements, and working patterns. Identify which users need persistent desktops and which can share pooled sessions.

02

Cloud Desktop Image Build

A master Windows image built with your business applications, branding, and configuration. Tested against your application portfolio before deployment.

03

Identity and Access Integration

Cloud desktop integrated with your existing Active Directory or Azure AD. Single sign-on configured so users log in once and access everything.

04

Pilot Group Deployment

Pilot group of 5 to 10 users deployed first. Performance validated, user feedback gathered, and configuration refined before full rollout.

05

Full Organisation Rollout

All users migrated to cloud desktops. Physical devices repurposed or retired. Staff trained on accessing their desktop from any device.

06

Ongoing Management and Updates

Desktop images kept up to date centrally. Application updates deployed to all users simultaneously. Performance monitored and capacity scaled as your team grows.

UK Case Studies

Cloud desktops deployed across the UK.

Accountancy Practice, Manchester

Challenge: A Manchester accountancy firm needed staff to access specialist tax software from home during busy season. The software would not install on personal devices and VPN performance was poor.

Outcome: Full cloud desktop deployed with tax software pre-installed. Staff accessed their complete desktop from home devices. VPN removed. Performance improved and IT support calls reduced by 40%.

Recruitment Agency, Leeds

Challenge: A Leeds recruitment agency was growing rapidly and could not keep up with laptop procurement and configuration. New starters were waiting up to 2 weeks for their equipment.

Outcome: Cloud desktop deployed. New starters onboarded in 20 minutes using any available device. Hardware procurement backlog eliminated. IT setup cost per user reduced by 65%.

Legal Firm, Bristol

Challenge: A Bristol legal firm needed to provide secure desktop access to temporary staff and contractors without issuing managed devices or granting access to the internal network.

Outcome: Isolated cloud desktop environment created for contractors. Full Windows desktop with required applications. No access to internal systems. Contractor sessions terminated instantly when engagement ended.
