Azure Virtual Desktop

Azure Virtual Desktop or AVD (previously Windows Virtual Desktop or WVD) is a cloud service for the virtualisation of desktops and applications. But it is different from the competitors.

Azure Virtual Desktop is a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) solution built directly on top of Microsoft Azure, while traditional VDI solutions only support the public cloud.

This means that Azure Virtual Desktop is the only VDI solution that offers Windows 10 multi-sessions, is optimised for Microsoft 365 apps and supports RDS environments. You can easily deploy and scale your Windows desktops and applications via Azure in a matter of minutes. You get the ingrained security and compliance functions right on top.

Azure Virtual Desktop in three steps

We use a three-step approach to deploy Azure Virtual Desktop in organisations. We start with a Jam Session, followed by an extensive workshop and finally we execute the full rollout in our Azure Virtual Desktop program. We have listed the steps in more detail below.

Step 1: Jam Session

In a Jam Session we present you the possibilities that Azure Virtual Desktop offers your organisation. We show concrete benefits tailored to your company. Afterwards we would like to engage in an open discussion, look at what is desirable and answer any questions you still have.

Step 2: Workshop

During a two-day workshop, we will work together to find a good approach and a clear roadmap for the implementation of Azure Virtual Desktop in your organisation.

On the first day, we analyse your current IT environment and map out the concrete needs of the users. During the second day we use that knowledge to draw up a clear design and step-by-step plan. At the end of the workshop you will be ready to effectively roll out Azure Virtual Desktop through the various steps of our program.

Step 3: Implementation

For the eventual rollout and management of Azure Virtual Desktop, we use a multi-step program that we developed based on best practices from previous implementations. Change and adoption & program management are kept in mind during this entire process.
