Desktop as a Service

Organisations today have a wide array of options around how they might transform their IT infrastructure, including how to buy and where to start.

Many businesses are hamstrung by ageing legacy infrastructure coupled with rising support costs, and the launch of Windows 7 has highlighted the need to refresh ageing desktop environments. Businesses are also under severe pressure to transform and improve the service they are providing to users and customers. At the same time, most IT budgets and resource have been cut as a direct result of the recession.

Reducing the cost of ownership, while enhancing organisational capability, are key drivers, complicating the decisions surrounding the desktop strategy. Organisations need to retain control and provide flexibility to end users. This journey has led organisations towards creating a virtual desktop supported by a collaborative, agile and open IT model, namely technologies delivered as a service.

Our Hosted Desktop Service uses technology to deliver flexible working, addressing the need for agility and control. Desktop as a Service re-defines the desktop, removing the constraints of existing infrastructure by virtualisation. Using our expertise and economies of scale, move to a simply managed and secure environment.
