Out with the old in with the new! Secure remote access via Azure Virtual Desktop

INTEGY recently helped a college deploy Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD), a cloud-based desktop solution. The college was looking for a way to improve the security and usability of their remote desktop solution. INTEGY was able to help them achieve this goal by deploying AVD.


One of the key benefits of AVD is its security features. By deploying AVD, the college was able to replace their legacy remote desktop solution with a more secure solution that protects the data and devices of their employees. AVD is designed to be highly secure, and its advanced security features have helped the college maintain the confidentiality and integrity of their data.

Another benefit of AVD is its improved usability.


AVD provides a more user-friendly experience for employees, making it easier for them to work remotely. This has been particularly important given the increasing number of employees working from home due to the COVID-19 pandemic. AVD has allowed the college to provide its employees with the tools and resources they need to be productive and efficient, regardless of their location.


Working with INTEGY on this project was a major factor in its success. INTEGY's expertise and experience in deploying AVD were invaluable, and they were able to guide the college through the entire process, ensuring a smooth and seamless transition. The INTEGY team was able to work closely with the college's IT team to understand their specific needs and requirements, and tailor their approach to ensure a successful outcome.


In conclusion, INTEGY's expertise and experience in deploying AVD, combined with the benefits of AVD, has enabled the college to achieve secure anywhere working. The college now has a highly secure IT infrastructure that can grow and evolve with their changing needs, as well as improved security and usability features that help ensure the protection of their data.


Working with INTEGY has been a key factor in the success of this project and has provided the college with the peace of mind that comes with a robust and reliable IT infrastructure.

At INTEGY, we’re passionate about enabling organisations to embrace the future of work, especially when innovation and agility are at the heart of their mission. Recently, we had the privilege of supporting a client whose business serves as a launchpad for startups, providing the technology and equipment needed to kickstart their journey.  The Challenge: Outdated IT for a Growing Organisation Our client’s IT infrastructure was a traditional setup, with user accounts and devices tightly bound to Active Directory. This configuration required devices to maintain network connectivity to on-premises servers, creating operational limitations. With the facility expanding to three separate locations, this approach no longer supported their need for flexibility, scalability, and efficiency. Startups thrive on speed and adaptability, and their IT systems needed to reflect those principles. The reliance on traditional IT was slowing them down, creating unnecessary overhead, and limiting their ability to provide the seamless experience their customers expected. The Solution: A Cloud-Native Transformation We transformed their IT environment into a modern, cloud-native setup: Entra ID for Identity Management Every device is now joined to Entra ID (formerly Azure AD), shifting identity management to the cloud. This eliminates the need for on-premises servers, offering secure access from anywhere. Intune for Device Management Devices are now managed through Microsoft Intune, enabling streamlined policy enforcement, application deployment, and security updates, all delivered from the cloud. Enhanced Security with Zero Trust Principles We implemented a Zero Trust security model, ensuring that devices and users are authenticated and compliant before accessing resources. Defender for Endpoint provides enhanced threat protection and visibility across their environment. Simplified User Experience By decoupling devices from on-premises dependencies, we empowered their users to work from any location with a secure, seamless experience. Scalability and Agility With their new cloud-native IT framework, our client is no longer constrained by physical infrastructure. They can now scale operations effortlessly as they open new locations and onboard new startups. The Results: Flexibility, Efficiency, and Growth The move to a cloud-native configuration has been a game-changer for our client. They’ve gained: Operational Efficiency : IT management is simpler and faster, reducing administrative overhead. Improved User Experience : Users now enjoy consistent and reliable access to systems, regardless of location. Scalability : Expansion to new sites no longer requires complex IT overhauls. Security : Advanced cloud security tools ensure their data and devices remain protected. By embracing modern IT, our client is better positioned to serve their customers and focus on what matters most: empowering innovation for startups. Helping You Move Forward If your organisation is grappling with the limitations of traditional IT and looking to make the leap to a cloud-native future, we’re here to help. Let’s transform your IT and unlock your potential.
