Microsoft Modern Workplace Solutions
The nature of work has changed. Employees expect to work securely from anywhere, on any device, and they put a high premium on work that can be achieved promptly and efficiently using IT systems.
When their productivity tools enhance the quality and effectiveness of the employee experience, they are happier, more valuable, and more likely to be loyal. Companies also need to protect vital IT assets and secure corporate data in the new distributed working environments.
Microsoft Modern Workplace solutions can improve employee productivity and satisfaction, and create more seamless communication and collaboration across locations and platforms while maintaining the security and integrity of systems and data.

Windows Virtual Desktop (WVD)
Windows Virtual Desktop is a core element of Microsoft Modern Workplace. It enables companies to centralise and control access to applications and data, whilst effectively maintaining security.
It provides highly efficient scalability and control, and can be used as a technology to run traditional desktop computing more economically than deploying and managing hardware assets.
