Cloud Endpoint Readiness Assessment

Before you refresh every device, find out which users should move to cloud endpoints.

Get a practical endpoint segmentation model that compares physical refresh, Windows 365, Azure Virtual Desktop, and AI-ready endpoint options by cost, user experience, security, and deployment fit.

Book the AI readiness and security review

Most organisations fund endpoint refresh, remote access, contractor access, and special-use devices as separate decisions. The result is often duplicated spend: the same user population is served by hardware, remote access tools, and support processes that were never evaluated together.

The highest-potential cloud endpoint groups, including contractors, seasonal teams, frontline users, shared-device workers, and task-based employees, are often missed because they are treated as exceptions rather than planned segments.

Treated as exceptions rather than planned segments.

A practical assessment framework and cost comparison model.

A practical assessment framework and cost comparison model that helps IT, finance, security, and business leaders decide which user groups should stay on physical endpoints, which should move to Windows 365, and which are better suited for Azure Virtual Desktop or AI-enabled cloud endpoint use cases.

Deployment questions for security, identity, apps, performance, support, and licensing

Pilot structure for validating recommendations before estate-wide rollout

Executive-ready decision outputs for procurement and transformation planning

Windows 365 gives users a secure Cloud PC experience that can scale on demand and be accessed across device types, while Azure Virtual Desktop supports secure remote desktops and apps with flexible configuration and consumption-based scaling. Together, they give organisations more options than a simple like-for-like laptop refresh.

As AI-enabled work expands, endpoint planning also needs to account for secure access, governance, compute requirements, user roles, and future-ready employee experiences.
