We🤘at seemless migrations & cost reductions!

We migrated an US healthcare client to Azure Virtual Desktop, offering a seamless transition that ensured business continuity and enhanced IT efficiency. In this way, we achieved a 30% reduction in annual virtual desktop costs.

What would you like to know?

Migrating to Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) offers significant cost-saving benefits, as demonstrated in the case study where a healthcare provider achieved a 30% reduction in annual virtual desktop costs. These savings are primarily due to several factors:

  • Licensing Efficiency: AVD allows for flexible, pay-as-you-go pricing, reducing the need for expensive licenses like those required by Citrix and other traditional VDI solutions.
  • Optimized Infrastructure: AVD’s auto-scaling capabilities allow you to adjust resources based on demand, ensuring that you only pay for what you use. For instance, in the case study, custom AVD scaling functions were used to match infrastructure size to end-user demand, further reducing costs.
  • Hardware Cost Reduction: By using features like Microsoft Windows 365 Boot, old hardware can be converted into terminals for cloud-based virtual desktops, which can significantly reduce the need for new hardware purchases.

Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) offers robust security features that help organizations meet stringent compliance requirements, particularly in regulated industries like healthcare:

  • Built-In Security Features: AVD leverages Azure’s comprehensive security capabilities, including advanced threat protection, identity management with Azure Active Directory, and data encryption both at rest and in transit. These features ensure that sensitive data is protected against unauthorized access and cyber threats.
  • Compliance Certifications: Azure meets a broad range of international and industry-specific compliance standards, including HIPAA, GDPR, and ISO 27001. This makes AVD a reliable choice for industries with strict regulatory requirements.
  • Custom Security Implementations: The case study highlights how the implementation of custom Windows client images and automated security updates ensured that the client’s virtual desktops were always up-to-date with the latest security patches and configurations, minimizing vulnerabilities.
  • Controlled Access and Monitoring: AVD’s integration with Azure Monitor allows for continuous tracking of the environment, enabling IT teams to detect and respond to potential security issues promptly.

Migrating to Azure Virtual Desktop involves several well-defined steps that ensure a smooth transition with minimal disruption to your operations:

Scope Definition and Process Audit: The first step involves a comprehensive assessment of your current virtual desktop infrastructure and business requirements. This helps in defining the scope of the migration and identifying potential challenges.

Solution Proposal: Based on the audit, a tailored migration plan is developed. This plan leverages AVD’s capabilities to meet your specific needs, such as scaling, security, and performance.

Migration Execution: The migration is carried out using a phased approach, starting with critical components and gradually transitioning the entire infrastructure. In the case study, the migration was seamless, with minimal downtime, thanks to detailed planning and execution.

Testing and Performance Tracking: Post-migration, rigorous testing is conducted to ensure that the new AVD environment performs optimally. This includes stress testing, user acceptance testing, and performance monitoring to identify and resolve any issues quickly.

Continuous Support and Optimization: After the migration, ongoing support is provided to monitor the environment, address any emerging issues, and optimize performance. In the case study, continuous support was crucial for maintaining business continuity and enhancing IT efficiency post-migration.

CityMD

Urgent Heathcare, USA



CityMD is the fastest-growing urgent care enterprise in the USA, expanding from 5 to over 160 clinics in just a few years through extreme IT efficiency. In addition to providing proactive and reactive managed IT solutions, we succeeded in creating a transparent, goal-aligned IT reporting system.

Using an Agile-based strategy inspired by software development, we enabled precise, decision-driving reports. This led to better IT budget allocation and stronger support for ongoing projects.

Nepi Rockcastle

Real Estate Giant, CEE



Nepi Rockcastle, a leader in CEE property investment with a $7 billion investment portfolio, faced a common IT problem: the burden of repetitive challenges hindering innovation.

Starting in our second year of providing IT managed services, we focused on automating recurring IT issues with tailored blueprints, ensuring each solution was specific yet efficient. This approach led to a significant achievement: no two consecutive quarters faced the same top IT issues, thereby freeing their workforce for more creative and strategic tasks

Insurance

Traditional & InsureTech



Managing 60,000 employees, over 4,000 servers worldwide, and vast on-prem data puts a lot of stress on any IT team.

One of our biggest achievements with this Fortune 100 giant was the migration to Microsoft 365. From Multi-Factor Authentication to Data Governance and security automations, everything had to be built to scale and to withstand security threats and exhaustive audit requirements. The good news? The 6-month implementation was an absolute success.

Intesa Sanpaolo Bank

Financial Services, RO, EU



Facing an outdated IT system that limited agility and business growth, our client needed a strategic overhaul.

We began with an in-depth analysis of their applications, ownership, significance, and IT resources, laying the groundwork for a transformed IT ecosystem. Leveraging SharePoint Online, we integrated it with current tools to create a dynamic IT health dashboard, guiding strategic decisions. This shift streamlined operations, reducing the workload from an 8 FTE task to a more efficient 6 FTE process.

Bittnet Group

IT Services, RO, EU



Bittnet Systems SA, a publicly-listed company with 12 brands and 400 employees, faced the challenge of adhering to strict data protection regulations while ensuring seamless collaboration.

Our MSFT 365 solution involved fine-tuning classifications, enhancing encryption, and refining access controls. Custom labels acted as data protectors, integrating smoothly into their workflows. This strategic implementation resulted in a robust security framework, reducing potential data leaks by an impressive 97%, making critical documents virtually impregnable.

Transportation

Courier & Large Volume Ops



Manual hardware and mobile inventory, compounded by a pricey €25,000/year tool, had our client ensnared. Migrating to Excel offered no solace, nearly necessitating a dedicated full-time employee to oversee the activity.

Utilizing Microsoft SharePoint and a single Power Automate license to integrate existing tools, we created a system for automatic updates and data reconciliation. We succeeded in saving 320-400 labor hours annually and reducing costs to just a €250/year license fee and a one-time customization charge.

We manage IT infrastructures and optimise IT processes for both Fortune 100 and global industry leaders in the USA, UK and EU. With a 98.7% satisfaction rate, we’re excited to give time back to your team.
