Service datasheet
Windows 365 consultancy
Cloud PCs sized, licensed and rolled out properly, so a predictable price doesn't come with an unpredictable experience.
Who this is for
- You're weighing up Windows 365 against Azure Virtual Desktop and want a straight recommendation, not a licence sale
- You're rolling out Cloud PCs and want the sizing, edition and network readiness decided properly the first time
- You already run Windows 365 and suspect you're over-licensed, under-sized, or both
What is included
- Windows 365 vs Azure Virtual Desktop fit assessment, with a straight recommendation
- Business vs Enterprise edition selection against your actual requirements
- Cloud PC sizing per user group, based on real application and workload data
- Network readiness review against Microsoft's Windows 365 connection requirements
- Custom image build and Intune, Entra ID and Conditional Access integration
- Windows 365 Frontline, Boot and Switch configuration where relevant
- Staged rollout and user provisioning
- Ongoing licence and sizing review to prevent over- or under-buying
What we would do
Get the sizing and edition right at the start, because that decision drives everything afterwards and is awkward to unwind. After that, Windows 365 needs far fewer ongoing decisions than AVD, which is usually the actual reason to choose it.
- If you are under 300 users with no Intune, no custom images and no Conditional Access requirement on the desktop, Windows 365 Business is the simpler and cheaper route.
- If you need custom images, Conditional Access on the Cloud PC or integration with an existing Intune estate, you want Enterprise and the prerequisites that come with it.
When we are not the answer
If cost per seat is the deciding factor and you have the capability to tune infrastructure, AVD will be cheaper at scale. We will tell you that rather than sell you the simpler product.
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.
