Windows 365 Envisioning and Proof of Concept (POC)

Advania’s low risk, time boxed POC/pilot validates the Cloud PC experience with your users, apps and controls in your environment. We scope the pilot against agreed personas and security needs, configure representative Cloud PCs, connectivity and policies, and support IT and pilot users throughout.

You receive evidence on user experience, performance, security and operations plus a clear recommendation, adoption roadmap and indicative costs for wider rollout (or alternatives).
