Azure Virtual Desktop Success Story

party access

Sales order system

weeks

Fast and efficient solution

We took the solution from set up to testing in just two weeks.

Challenge

Joe Browns, a designer fashion retailer, was in the middle of an extremely busy first quarter. They wanted a solution that would allow them to handle overflow sales through a third-party contact centre, without compromising the security of their other systems.

Plan

The sales system had never been set up on a virtualized desktop before, and that’s what we needed to do! We mapped out a plan to design, set up and test an Azure Virtual Desktop environment in under two weeks.

Approach

To get the system up and running, we had to create a cloud based virtual machine on the new infrastructure, reconfigure the network, transfer data and applications, and then test the solution, before handing it over to them.

Outcome

With the new environment set up and ready to go, the third-party was able to provide Joe Browns with the overflow functionality needed to fulfil the increased sales orders it was dealing with. Efficiency was the name of the game here – Joe Browns needed a quick solution to a big problem – and we delivered, allowing them to continue providing the best service to customers during a very busy time.

boxxe was fantastic at getting this request completed. They designed and implemented the virtual desktops in good time, meaning we were able to fulfil the sales orders at this critical time. boxxe has proven themselves to be a knowledgeable and flexible technology partner.
