All of our projects are carried out with real time access to all aspects of the project, at any time a stakeholder can see:
On this project in particular stakeholders of all levels engaged in a timely manner and with productive and helpful contribution. By keeping communications all in one place we ensure actions, issues and much more are never missed.
With the delivery phase of the Windows Virtual Desktop environment completed, it’s clear that the Microsoft cloud hosted solution is always changing and improving, the process of deploying WVD is far from a simply next, next, next activity with various pre-requisite tasks and detailed changes to the client’s environment needed.
Even at a pre-pilot stage we can see very positive signs around ease of migration from existing on-premise solutions to WVD in areas such as persona migration and application OS integration.
We look forward to continuing the project into the pilot stage with our forward thinking client!
The SCC Technical Design and Architecture Manager Pam Rowley has been particularly supportive for this WVD delivery and is keen to see the potential of benefits of a cloud based virtual desktop delivery demonstrated, once piloted; SCC can decide if WVD can replace their existing on-premise virtual desktop environment to being operational savings and performance improvements.
“The experience of working with A4S always had knowledge sharing, positivity and transparency at its core, once again our teams have enjoyed the process of learning more about cloud based delivery.”
“We need to fully understand if Azure Windows Virtual Desktop can replace our existing on-premise solution so that can potentially be decommissioned saving space and cost.”
“Potentially as important as WVD is the potential to replace our existing anti-virus and application delivery approaches with Microsoft EndPoint Protection and MSIX App-Attach.”
“Microsoft EndPoint Protection is exciting as it could consolidate our architecture more into cloud delivery with very detailed reporting and analysis.”
“MSIX App-Attach could transform our application delivery across all Windows devices with significant cost savings and operational improvements.”
“We look forward to the next stage of the project which is to perform a user pilot to confirm the use case and architecture benefits of WVD and its associated technologies.”
Pam Rowley, SCC Technical Design and Architecture Manager
“We immediately understood SCCs need to progress this delivery at speed and with minimum impact to their already busy IT teams.”
“During the project kick off meeting we quickly discussed understood the potential fit and benefit of WVD which also includes the operational benefits of MSIX App-Attach and Microsoft Protection for EndPoint which would be integrated into Azure Log Analytics.”
“Working with the SCC IT team is a great opportunity for A4S, and working with a client who is focused on understanding a solution like WVD in detail is a great help.”
“SCC made highly skilled team members available during this project, they’ve been engaging throughout the project and were always quick engage, make decisions and to respond with any urgently needed information.”
“A4S would once again like to again thank the SCC IT teams for the opportunity to be part of this project and we look forward to further opportunities to work together in the future.”
