A new way of working
The hospitality industry has undergone a massive transformation. Where hotel and restaurant chains had previously relied on having dedicated staff at each location, today senior staff –management in particular – are needed across multiple locations at any given time.
Overlay this with the growth in casual workers and the more flexible work-from-home environments that administrative staff are demanding and it’s become clear that traditional IT models just don’t work in the modern hospitality world.
Meet Azure Virtual Desktop
Azure virtual desktop is a modern approach to catering for the computing needs of your hospitality-focused workforce. It operates in the same, fully functional manner that the Windows environment you previously used on desktop and mobile computers does.
With a couple of key improvements of course.
It’s easier
to manage
It’s easier to manage
All of your users’ computing power, storage space and software licensing needs are catered for by the cloud, so there’s no need to be locked into the constant hardware and software upgrade cycle your business was before. You’re always on the latest software. And if a staff member needs more compute power, you simply allocate it to them. If they no longer need it, you deprovision it.
You pay for
what you use
YOU PAY FOR WHAT YOU USE
Instead of the lumpy costs of IT vacillating between big capital expenses on hardware and infrastructure and high operating expenses to maintain that environment, everything is converted into an affordable monthly operating expense that scales up and down as your needs and workforce demands change.
It’s more
secure
It’s more secure
There’s no need to spend sleepless nights worried about data security and external parties obtaining unauthorized access to your data. Everything is locked away securely in the cloud and unlocked as and when users need it with secure passwords and tokens.
It’s hospitality industry ready

In the modern hospitality world, your workforce isn’t in one place any longer. Managers move from establishment to establishment as they’re needed, admin staff are often remote and staff churn is high. Azure Virtual Desktop makes any screen, keyboard and mouse your employee’s computer, complete with their specific hardware and software needs. And when they sign-in somewhere else, their environment is just as they left it.
