Working safely and productively remotely: what is the best solution for you?
Collaborate securely across devices in multiple locations. Is your way of working digitally evolving as well? As an organization, you want to provide flexibility to your employees. But with security in mind, you face a challenge. Soon you come across solutions such as Virtual Desktops. But is that really the right answer for everyone? Because it is also possible to collaborate securely and productively without virtual desktop technology. You do that by managing computers with Microsoft Endpoint Manager.
A quick recap: what are Virtual Desktops?
Virtual desktops replicate a physical computer. They have the same look and feel as a regular PC. With an Internet connection, you can access this environment regardless of location or device. It serves as a solution for organizations that want secure remote collaboration. With centralized management, the IT team tailors the virtual environment to the needs of employees. This allows applications to be installed on multiple virtual computers and eliminates manual installations. Useful, for example, if you are hiring new workers or want to integrate new software.
Furthermore, employees are in a secure working environment. With a Virtual Desktop, you can also adjust the performance of the machine. For example, if you need a little more processing power for a week, you can do that. The downside? Not all software is easy to bring to a virtual environment. In addition, you only really gain a cost advantage if you have enough users. That can also be accomplished in a different way.
