Embracing the Future of Work
The rise of remote work is transforming how and where work is done.
Microsoft Teams is at the forefront of this transformation, providing organizations with a comprehensive platform for collaboration and communication. With Teams, employees can connect, share ideas, and work together seamlessly, regardless of their physical location.
In our series we explore these transformational trends in detail, and define how organizations can chart a path to virtual working practices that best suits their needs.
Empowering the Collaborative Enterprise
A Digital Workspace strategy enables your organization to embrace the Future of Work and facilitate an increasingly remote and virtual enterprise.
The rise of remote work is transforming how and where work is done. Technology enables seamless collaboration across geographies, allowing for greater flexibility and work-life balance.
End User Computing Infrastructure
The building block of the Digital Workspace is Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD), as part of an overall 'EUC' infrastructure suite.
AVD offers a flexible cloud virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) platform that securely delivers virtual desktops and remote apps with maximum control. Organizations like Lloyds Bank and the US Army are deploying AVD to implement agile working programs.
Implementing AVD can require a complete EUC (End User Computing) strategy, an integrated suite of services that spans Cloud hosting, Digital Identity, User Devices and Endpoint Security.
Optimized for Microsoft Teams
In June 24 Microsoft announced a new optimization architecture that brings closer alignment between Microsoft Teams and physical and virtual desktops.
Cloud Cost Management
Harness the utility compute, pricing and hyper-scalability of the Cloud for your desktop infrastructure, and apply 'FinOps' best practices to minimize costings.

Solution Guide
A complete solution suite for enabling distributed remote working
Enabling this new paradigm of global virtual working can require an enterprise to modernize their infrastructure, which is typically oriented around in-office practices and on-premise technology.
Building a digital workplace environment requires an integrated solution suite comprising a number of key components:
Teams Collaboration
Collaboration apps including Sharepoint Intranets for knowledge sharing, integrated with Teams Unified Communications.
Migration and FinOps
Design of the target Cloud environment, migration of legacy infrastructure, tailor your VDI images to the new environment and ongoing performance and cost optimization.
Identity & Security
Design and configure Identity Access, Firewall and VPN policies, and implement Intune for end point monitoring & protection services to ensure security across distributed devices.
Devices and OS
Often a key driver for virtual desktops is a need to upgrade end user devices and operating systems. Legacy desktop applications may also need to be modernized.
