Who this is for

  • Your people work across locations and devices, including their own, and the data shouldn't live on any of them
  • You're weighing up Windows 365, Azure Virtual Desktop or a mix, and want a straight recommendation rather than a licence sale
  • You already run AVD, it's slower or dearer than it should be, and whoever built it has moved on

What is included

  • Windows 365 and Azure Virtual Desktop design, build and migration
  • Host pool sizing, user density and autoscale scaling plans
  • FSLogix profile containers and Azure Files storage design
  • Golden images versioned through the Azure Compute Gallery
  • Application delivery, including MSIX packaging and App Attach
  • Intune, Microsoft Entra ID and Conditional Access integration
  • Cost review: right-sizing, pooling, storage tiering, reservations
  • Ongoing management, monitoring and performance tuning

What we would do

Choose on who will own the ongoing decisions, not on a feature comparison. Windows 365 is close to administering a subscription; AVD is running infrastructure, with host pools, scaling plans, profile storage and image versioning all needing revisiting as usage changes.

  • If you need multi-session density and are prepared to tune it, AVD is materially cheaper at scale and that gap is real.
  • If your users need a persistent machine each and nobody has time to tune infrastructure, Windows 365 will cost more per seat and less in total.

When we are not the answer

If your people work in one office on machines that never move, a cloud desktop adds cost and a dependency on your internet connection for no clear gain. Physical desktops are still the right answer for plenty of businesses.

What it costs

Scoped and quoted against your estate rather than sold from a rate card. We price what you already run, including the parts that are working and do not need replacing, and the quote itemises what is included so it can be compared line by line with anyone else’s. Managed IT support starts at £40 per user, per month if that is the wider question.

Evidence

0 P1 incidents in 6 months

A UK client. How moving a client from Azure Virtual Desktop to Windows 365, and fixing long-standing shared mailbox faults, drove priority-one incidents to zero. Full write-up: https://systechitsolutions.co.uk/case-studies/avd-to-windows-365-migration

Our case studies are anonymised at our clients’ request, so they name no client and no sector.

The next step, if you want one

Microsoft estate review. 45 minutes, plus a written summary within three working days. You keep the written findings whether or not you engage us, and there is no sales call before it.

Not ready for that? The full service page is at https://systechitsolutions.co.uk/services/euc, or call the number at the top of this sheet.

Getting out. Monthly subscriptions need one month’s written notice. Annual subscriptions run to the end of the term, and ending one early carries the balance of that term. Managed services are governed by a signed Services Agreement, which sets its own notice period and is agreed with you before you sign anything. Full terms: https://systechitsolutions.co.uk/legal/customer-terms.

Response targets and the onboarding schedule sit in that Services Agreement rather than on this sheet, because both are set against your estate and your operating pattern at scoping. Ask for them in writing before you sign, and we will put them there.
