Modern Workplace: 2-days Assessment

Our consultants can advise on the best approach for your business based on your users, your existing infrastructure, and the applications you use and need. As part of this process, they may recommend a route including Windows Virtual Desktop, Managed Desktop or a combination of both.

What is the difference between Windows Virtual Desktop and Managed Desktop?

• Windows Virtual Desktop (WVD) is a fully managed virtual desktop as a subscription service
• Managed Desktop as a Service is a managed service to support a physical device.

With Windows Virtual Desktop you can:

Work on any device anywhere: Windows Virtual Desktop is fully optimised to combine the power of Windows 10 and Microsoft 365 on any device you may have, including employee’s own devices (BYOD).

Deploy in minutes: At Chess, we can deploy Windows Virtual Desktop in minutes helping you to work better together from anywhere.

Built-in intelligent security: Protect your data and ensure compliance with the built-in security features of Microsoft 365, even if using personal devices.

Reduce your costs: Window Virtual Desktop uses minimal computing power and utilises your existing licences, prolonging the life of your hardware as you can spin on old, under-powered devices.

The Modern Workplace Assessment is a two-stage consultancy engagement: 1: Discovery

• Deployment of discovery tools and capacity planning
• Review of tenant readiness for Modern Workplace (Microsoft 365 licences, Azure AD configuration and devices)
• Capture of user scenarios (power users, frontline users, field sales etc.)
• Existing infrastructure including devices, network links, platforms
• Application discovery (Legacy, native, EoL etc.)

2: Review

• Create and share appraisal document
• Presentation walkthrough of discovery findings and tenant readiness
• Explaining the transformation steps and commercial implications
• A documented and defined desktop delivery strategy aligned to the business requirements
