Imagine that you just hired a new set of employees, and you need to purchase a laptop for each of them. You search for specs, ask the higher management for a budget, and when approved you go to the electronic center, purchase the quantity you need, ask for discounts so that you can lessen cost. After the purchase, you will call your trusted IT personnel to install software and ask for log-in credentials from the admin so that your new employee can use it. When it is ready for use, you call the employee so he/she can claim, and borrow the laptop but, if the employee is in a work from home set-up, then you will have it delivered to your employees’ home address. 


Isn’t this costly, and laborious? Would you believe me if I told you that you can now deploy a virtual computer to your employees instead of the usual physical computer? 


Windows 365 Cloud PC is exactly like that. Introduced by Microsoft on the 3rd Quarter of the year 2021, it was designed for businesses as it empowers employees to feel connected to their organization even without being physically present in the office. 


Fortunately, Microsoft saw a gap and realized that there is a need in the business market. Recently, the workforce of businesses was highly challenged by the COVID-19 pandemic, and many were forced to digitally transform their business processes, adapt work from home set-ups, cut costs, and maximize resources. 


What Windows 365 can do for you 


Available, accessible 

With Windows in the Cloud, employees working from home can log-in in their Windows 365 account via any device: computers or laptops (Windows or Mac), tablets or phones (Android or iOS). Just make sure that the device you intend to use has an internet connection. 


Secure application 

Unlike the physical computer which has the tendency to delete your data if mishandled. You should not worry because if your Windows is in the Cloud, all your data will be stored in it, and not in your device.

 
Hire employees from anywhere 

An interesting fact about Windows 365 is the team tested it with Windows 365 too! Since they hired the workforce from different countries, the best way to develop it was to use it themselves. 
No need for deployment of physical laptops when you can deploy virtual computers instead. 


Faster internet connection 


Yes! You read that right. As explained by Scott Manchester, Partner Director of Product Management (PM), no need to ensure that your device has fast internet because once you plug the device in your Cloud PC, you will get faster internet connectivity. 


Work steady 

Access your organization files wherever you are. Sync no more. Worked on the office computer yesterday and scheduled to work from home today using your personal laptop? Just log in to your Windows 365 account and you can start continuing your saved work yesterday. 

Minimize cost 
The process of purchasing to lending devices to employees comes with risks, it can break down or worse, employees can lose it. Sometimes, there is also a need to upgrade the organizations’ hardware (computers and laptops). Either way, each scenario has its cost. 


What Windows 365 is best for you? 

Microsoft designed the service for all sizes of businesses, therefore making Windows 365 Cloud PC available in 2 choices. If your business is a small and medium organization then you can opt to avail the Windows 365 Business. Meanwhile, larger organizations can avail themselves of Windows 365 Enterprise. Both consist of 3 plans: Basic, Standard, and Premium

As of this moment, there is no information yet if there will be a consumer version of Windows 365, but it is something to watch out for. 



Wrapping it up 

Microsoft offered a different kind of work experience with its virtual machine. It is a breath of fresh air to employees who are in a hybrid or work from home set-up that struggles to finish work. It offers assurance to administrative staff and IT admins who are seeking to have easeful management of their workforce, especially in today’s work framework. It creates an atmosphere of collaboration even if the workforce is dispersed. 


Enhance your work life with Windows in the cloud.
