In this blog post, I will explain what the Windows in the Cloud Assessment is, how it works, and what outcomes you can expect from it.

What is the Windows in the Cloud Assessment?

Windows 365 and Azure Virtual Desktop are Microsoft's cloud-based solutions that enable users to securely stream their Windows experience, including personalised apps, content, and settings, from the Microsoft Cloud to any device with their Cloud PC.? The Windows in the Cloud Assessment is an engagement that supports the creation of business cases and deployment roadmaps for customers interested in migrating endpoints to the cloud with Windows 365 and Azure Virtual Desktop.

The Windows in the Cloud Assessment is designed to help you understand the value proposition, technical feasibility, and financial implications of adopting a Windows in the Cloud solution for your organisation. It also helps you identify the best fit for your user personas, application requirements, and business objectives. The assessment is delivered by Insight, a Microsoft Gold Partner and an expert in driving Windows in the Cloud experiences. We have the tools and resources to ensure your employees have access to a secure and productive desktop experience from anywhere.

How does the Windows in the Cloud Assessment work?

The Windows in the Cloud Assessment is delivered in three phases: Assess, Art of the Possible, and Build the Plan. The duration of the engagement is a maximum of 12 weeks, here is a brief overview of each phase and what it entails:

• Phase 1: Assess - In this phase, we will introduce you to the Windows in the Cloud Assessment, plan the engagement activities, and gather information to build a business case for a Windows in the Cloud solution. We will conduct discovery workshops with your business and technical stakeholders to understand your challenges, needs, and goals. We will also assess your existing infrastructure and readiness for cloud endpoint solutions, identify your user personas and use cases, and evaluate your application publishing and desktop experience needs.
• Phase 2: Art of the Possible - In this phase, we will collaborate with you to build a Windows in the Cloud business case that aligns with your user personas and business needs. We will present you with an overview of Windows 365 and Azure Virtual Desktop product offerings and features, and help you select the best option for your organisation. We will also prepare a cost-benefit analysis of the proposed solution, and assess the potential risks, constraints, and dependencies that might affect the implementation and adoption.
• Phase 3: Build the Plan - In this phase, we will prepare and present the final report and recommendations for your Windows in the Cloud solution. The report will include a detailed business case, a technical readiness assessment, a cost-benefit analysis, a risk assessment, and a roadmap and next steps for adoption. We will also discuss the report with your project team, key stakeholders, and decision makers, and agree on the best way to move forward with the proposed solution.
