Currently used by more than half of Fortune 500 companies in the world, Windows 365 is the most secure, efficient and versatile solution any organization can adopt to embrace flexible work.

Also known as Microsoft’s Cloud PC, it creates a powerful virtual machine that provides a complete and personal Windows experience in the Microsoft Cloud, on any device. That means organizations can maximize workforce productivity while keeping costs down and making sure that data and work are protected.

But where exactly can Windows 365 make the biggest impact?

Here’s a look at some key use cases:

1) Data security

Enjoy peace of mind in your flexible working environment thanks to Windows 365. By centralizing your data in the Microsoft Cloud and reducing the threat surface, our solution allows you to improve regulatory compliance and IP protection – ultimately reducing risk and safeguarding your organization end to end.

2) Employee integration for seasonal workers

Windows 365 allows for quick integration of new employees, providing them with immediate access to resources without the need for new hardware. This can be a game-changer for companies needing to onboard short-term team members or seasonal workers.

3) Mergers and Acquisitions

Mergers and acquisitions can often require some time before the various information systems are fully integrated with each other. Thanks to Windows 365, the newly acquired or merged employees can be connected to the same system in a matter of hours using their own PCs.

4) Full, protected access for third-party players

Give your third-party consultants and contractors full, secure access to the resources they need using Windows 365 – whatever device they’re using. By providing them with a license, you will allow them to connect using a corporate image that is protected, secure, and designed to control file exchanges between the physical device and the virtual environment.

5) Disaster recovery

Ensuring business continuity and workforce access even in the face of outages or other challenging scenarios is crucial for any organization. That’s exactly what you can do using Windows 365, which allows you to provision thousands of Cloud PCs to your end users with only one click.
