How hosted desktops can boost your business
25th June 2021
Remote working has been common throughout the coronavirus pandemic, and many companies are considering keeping it around in some form. However, it makes sense to do it right – and businesses that implement Desktop as a Service see a noticeable boost to efficiency for a whole host of reasons.
1. Control
With a hosted desktop, businesses will enjoy more control over their projects; since it is all handled by the cloud, devices will not need to be configured for new employees. On top of this, patches and updates will be applied automatically to all users, so you know that everybody is working on the level they need to be.
2. Green savings
Cloud solutions will naturally result in a lessened need for machines and servers, so companies often report a significant reduction in carbon emissions. In addition, remote working may mean fewer people travelling to and from the office, putting less strain on public transport and reducing congestion from personal vehicles.
3. Everything is backed up
Perhaps the most obvious benefit of cloud storage is the security behind it; no matter what happens, you can be sure that your data is protected. There are many horror stories of office floods erasing months or years of hard work, and hosted desktops can defend against that – while making the office optional in the first place.
4. Budgeting
With Desktop as a Service, you will spend less on physical servers that you likely would never fill to their full capacity. Instead, you can pay for what you use in cloud storage, which will be shared among many other businesses to reduce costs for everyone. This gives you a better cash flow, making it easier to budget.
5. Productivity
Research indicates that productivity can go up by at least 20% when you embrace a hosted desktop solution, with many workers feeling a sense of liberation as they work from home. Even if they are monitored to check if they're hard at work, the flexibility is enough to ensure that everything is done to a high standard.
