Combining remote and office workforce can bear many benefits across several industries. Flexibility has the capacity to boost productivity and improve employee satisfaction. Furthermore, organizations that enable a resilient workforce also experience financial benefits. According to Accenture’s research[1], 63% of high revenue growth companies have already enabled productivity anywhere workforce models, where employees have the option of working remotely or on-site.

Benefits of hybrid

Hybrid environment has the potential of simultaneously serving remote workers and colleagues who prefer being present in their workplace. Furthermore, it supports the operation on the long run, as businesses can handle future challenges and needs with enormous flexibility. In order to unlock all the potential hybrid work offers, Microsoft introduced Windows 365 Cloud PC, which demonstrates a new way to experience Windows through the power of the cloud.

Solution for every company

Windows 365 is a cloud service that introduces a new way to experience Windows 10 or Windows 11. It takes the operating system to the Microsoft Cloud, securely streaming the full Windows experience including all the apps, data, and settings of every employee to their personal or corporate devices. Employees of all levels can leverage the potential offered by the cloud and the capabilities of the device, from interns to contractors, from software developers to industrial designers. 

Windows 365 is built on Azure Virtual Desktop, and it offers a consistent Windows experience in Mac, iPad, Linux device, and Android. Employees can get the same work done on a laptop on their couch, a tablet from their car between appointments, or at their desktop while in the office. Windows 365 supports all the familiar business apps, like Microsoft 365, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Microsoft Power Platform and more.

Built-in security

With a focus on a Zero Trust architecture, Windows 365 stores and secures information in the cloud, not on the device. Multifactor authentication (MFA) works to verify any access attempt to a Cloud PC through integration with Microsoft Azure Active Directory (Azure AD). And within Microsoft Endpoint Manager, MFA can be paired with dedicated Windows 365 conditional access policies to assess login risk instantly for each session.

Getting started with Windows 365

Implementing Windows 365 comes with a variety of settings to create a personalized experience for any business and allow the users to get the best experience. Monitoring the performance of the Cloud PC, applying management and security policies, and checking analytics are important in getting the most out of Windows 365.  To find out more about the implementation and the benefits, contact our experts for a consultancy using the form below.
