London-based law firm increased productivity and reduced licensing costs with Microsoft Intune and Pavilion
CHALLENGES
With a team of remote users needing to work from client sites and courtrooms, our customer’s IT team needed to find a way to efficiently, and remotely, deploy applications to Microsoft Windows operating systems. With almost 1,000 applications of varying purpose, complexity, licensing models and business function, the level of IT time required to support, patch and configure everything was becoming overbearing.
At the same time in order to address increasing backup and storage costs, they decided to adopt a cloud-first policy that could sit their internal and client data on the Microsoft Azure cloud.
SOLUTION
In order to address our client’s application delivery requirements, the PAV team recommended a service based on Microsoft Intune’s application packaging and virtualisation service, which serves to streamline and configure the company’s software portfolio into an efficiently and managed portfolio of deployable packages.
RESULTS
With PAV’s skills and experience in packaging software applications, the London-based firm have benefitted from a significant reduction in the burden of IT time requirement to deploy applications to users, not to mention the associated cost savings of overlapping application and licensing costs. Furthermore, a combination of this service and the organisation’s shift to the Azure cloud has also created improvements in system performance, which in turn has enabled greater levels of user productivity and remote collaboration capabilities.
The firm’s move to the Azure cloud has also provided it with the ideal cloud platform to host all the core business systems and applications without the management burdens or costly overheads of the previous on-premises solution.
