Customer Spotlight: The Transformation Journey of Top 100 Law Firm with Azure Virtual Desktop:
Our collaboration with a top 100 law firm demonstrates a transformative journey from an on-premise Citrix estate Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD), highlighting a strategic evolution in their IT infrastructure. Faced with the challenges of an aging system, the client sought to modernise and streamline their operations, aiming for cost reductions and enhanced efficiency. The partnership with Shaping Cloud played a pivotal role in navigating the transition, leveraging our expertise to develop a tailored AVD solution that aligns with their strategic vision.
The process began with a comprehensive assessment, evaluating the existing Citrix setup and identifying opportunities for improvement. This led to the implementation of a dynamic proof of concept for AVD, allowing the client to test and experience the capabilities of the new system first-hand. The focus on key applications, including legal and everyday office tools, during the pilot phase demonstrated AVD's ability to meet their specific needs effectively.
The successful transition to Azure Virtual Desktop culminated in significant benefits for the client, including cost savings, technological consolidation, and enhanced scalability. The move away from on-premise Citrix to AVD not only optimised their digital infrastructure but also ensured they were ready to meet the demands of the future.
