Empowering the Modern Workforce
The way people work has changed. Hybrid and remote working models, increasing demands for secure access, and a proliferation of devices mean organisations need flexible, scalable, and secure End User Computing (EUC) solutions. Whether your teams are based in the office, at home, or on the move, EUC ensures they can securely access the applications and data they need – from any device, at any time.
Our Approach to EUC
We design and deliver EUC strategies that align with your business goals, combining virtualisation, cloud services, and device management into a seamless solution. Our expertise spans:
- Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) – traditional on-premises or datacentre-hosted deployments.
- Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS) – cloud-hosted desktops delivered via providers such as Microsoft Cloud PC or Citrix DaaS.
- Hybrid models – blending on-premises VDI with cloud scalability.
- Device lifecycle management – procurement, configuration, deployment, and secure retirement.
- Remote working enablement – secure access, thin clients, and edge security for home offices.
Key EUC Platforms and Technologies
Application & Virtualisation Platforms
These platforms focus on delivering applications and desktops securely, whether hosted on-premises or in the cloud, and are often chosen for their balance of performance, control, and user experience.
- Citrix – trusted for enterprise-class VDI, app delivery, and secure remote access.
- Parallels RAS (by Alludo) – simplified, cost-effective application and desktop delivery across devices and platforms.
- Dizzion Frame – browser-based cloud VDI, reducing dependency on hardware.
- Omnissa – formerly VMware EUC, offering Horizon and Workspace ONE solutions for digital workspace transformation.
| Platform | Key Strengths | Typical Use Cases | Considerations |
|---|---|---|---|
| Microsoft Cloud PC (Windows 365) | Persistent, personal cloud desktops; seamless Microsoft 365 integration | Knowledge workers, organisations standardising on Microsoft 365 | Less flexible scaling; fixed monthly cost model |
| Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) | Highly scalable, session-based or pooled desktops; broad Azure integration | Enterprises needing flexibility, seasonal workforce scaling | Complex to manage without tools like Nerdio; consumption billing |
| AWS WorkSpaces | Fully managed desktops from AWS; global reach across AWS regions | Multinational orgs, AWS-centric businesses, pay-as-you-go scale | Limited Microsoft 365 integration; variable pricing |
| Citrix DaaS | Multi-cloud desktop delivery; advanced optimisation & monitoring tools | Enterprises with hybrid environments or regulatory needs | Additional licensing costs; overlaps with native cloud offerings |
Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS) & Cloud Platforms
These cloud-hosted services provide fully managed virtual desktops, enabling organisations to scale securely without the overhead of running traditional VDI infrastructure.
- Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) – flexible, scalable desktop delivery from Microsoft Azure.
- Microsoft Cloud PC (Windows 365) – persistent, personal cloud desktops with seamless Microsoft 365 integration.
- AWS WorkSpaces – fully managed, secure cloud desktops from Amazon Web Services, offering pay-as-you-go scalability across global AWS regions.
- Citrix DaaS and other providers – delivering multi-cloud desktop services for hybrid organisations.

Infrastructure Platforms
The foundation of a successful EUC strategy lies in the platform it runs on. We help clients evaluate and deploy the right mix of:
- Private Cloud / Datacentre VDI – built on traditional server and storage, or hyperconverged platforms.
- Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI) – simplified, scalable deployments with platforms like Nutanix and Scale Computing.
- Public Cloud – leveraging Azure, AWS, or hybrid cloud for elasticity and global reach.
Secure Remote Working
Security is integral to EUC. Our solutions cover:
- Secure edge access for home offices – including small office/home office (SoHo) firewalls and VPNs.
- Multi-factor authentication and identity management – ensuring only the right people gain access.
- Zero Trust principles – minimising risks while enabling flexibility.
End User Devices
EUC isn’t only about the virtual desktop. The right end-point strategy is vital:
- Thin Clients – cost-effective, secure devices with long lifespans.
- Laptops, tablets, and hybrid devices – tailored to user roles.
- Lifecycle Management – from procurement to retirement, ensuring devices remain secure and compliant.
