While many businesses benefit and even depend on the additional functionality provided by a Citrix virtual desktop solution, some use cases just dont don’t need it. One of our Banking clients was in that situation and engaged Latitude Services to assist with the migration from a Citrix-based virtual desktop solution to a purely Microsoft based virtual desktop implementation using Windows Virtual Desktops (WVD) hosted in Azure. Our team of architects and engineers did a full assessment of the current end user computing environment to confirm WVD could meet all of the defined business requirements without compromising user experience, security and manageability. Once we confirmed it was a viable options our team moved forward with a design, build and test project that resulted in providing this customer a 100% cloud based lower cost stable virtual desktop environment that continues to effectively support their critical business applications now and into the future.
