Remotely access your desktop and applications such as Sage 50 Accounts, Cim50 Manufacturing, Sage 200 Professional, Cim200 Manufacturing, and Microsoft Office from anywhere.
Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop (formerly known as Windows Virtual Desktop) is a cloud-based virtualisation service that enables organisations to host Windows desktops and applications on Azure, Microsoft’s cloud computing platform. These applications can include Microsoft Office, Sage 50 Accounts, Sage Payroll, Sage 200, Cim50 and more.
With Azure Virtual Desktop, users can securely access their virtualised desktops and applications from any device with an internet connection, including Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android devices.
The service provides a flexible and scalable solution for businesses of all sizes. Businesses can easily manage and deploy virtual desktops and applications while minimising infrastructure costs and improving productivity, giving businesses a real alternative to replacing their in-house server.
Azure Virtual Desktop also includes advanced security features, such as multi-factor authentication, conditional access, and network isolation, to help ensure the protection of sensitive data and prevent unauthorised access.
Azure Virtual Desktop gives a seamless Windows 11 experience on any internet connected device. Users get the same computing experience with full access to their Microsoft 365 products.
Don’t rely on your own office power, internet, and backup solution to keep your remote desktop system running. Take advantage of Microsoft’s secure and always online data centre.
If you need more users to work remotely, or undergo rapid expansion, we can quickly add more resources with no need to buy additional complex hardware.
Azure Virtual Desktop is hosted in Microsoft’s secure datacentres. Help secure your employee and company data by storing it there rather than on local devices.
