The desktop, wherever the work is.
Full desktop virtualisation for a remote first financial services team, so people can work from anywhere on any device, with everything managed centrally.
The challenge
A financial services team was built to work remotely, but a remote first model puts a hard question front and centre. How do people work from anywhere, on whatever device they happen to have, without scattering sensitive financial data across a fleet of machines nobody can see or control.
The usual compromises were not good enough. Locking everyone to a managed company laptop is rigid and expensive. Letting people use their own devices unmanaged is a risk a finance business cannot take. The team needed the freedom of working anywhere and the control of a centrally managed environment, at the same time.
Our approach
We delivered full desktop virtualisation, so the desktop lives centrally rather than on the device in someone's hands. People connect to a managed, consistent environment from wherever they are, and the device they use becomes a window onto their work rather than the place the work and the data actually sit.
That design enabled a bring your own device approach without the usual exposure. The data stays in the managed environment, governed centrally, while staff get the convenience of using equipment that suits them. Management, updates, and control all happen in one place rather than chasing individual machines around.
The outcome
The financial services team now works from anywhere, on any device, with the whole estate managed centrally. Bring your own device is enabled, so people are not tied to specific hardware, and the business is not tied to issuing and maintaining it.
The freedom that makes a remote first team work and the control a finance business needs now sit together rather than pulling against each other, with the sensitive data held safely in the centre rather than spread across the edges.
