The era of desktop computing is disappearing.
More and more businesses are looking for ways to
streamline their IT costs by moving toward a more
managed service environment. Desktop as a Service
(DaaS) has become an increasingly attractive
option for those who work on mission critical
projects and need constant support with
hardware/software issues, don't want the costs
associated with logistics, for the ones looking
for a remote workforce option, and for those who
don't want to participate in training
employees/students on desktop life cycle.

Desktop as a Service A Quick Overview
DaaS or Desktop as a Service is a model that
allows you to outsource your desktop needs. DaaS,
instead of using assets on-site, provides users
with desktops which are centrally hosted within
managed data centers and provided as a service.
It saves organizations from all the costs
associated with hardware ownership including
purchasing, upgrading, deploying, maintaining and
supporting desktops. Just as you subscribe to a
SaaS (software as a service) application like
vDesk.works, you will now be able to subscribe to
your desktop solution and get started in seconds.

Remote Workforce
With a growing number of employees working
remotely (whether travelling on the road, at home
or in the office), more and more organizations
are looking for ways to allow these workers
access to critical business applications like
Outlook and Office without having them to carry a
dedicated PC/Laptop with all the preloaded
software and associated data. In this case,
rather than wasting money and resources on an
on-site desktop that goes largely unused,
organizations have the option to provide their
mobile workforce with a virtualized desktop
hosted in a data center. The end result is
increased security and access control since you
can manage who has access to your business
applications in addition to greater mobility for
your remote workers without the hassle of
managing PCs.

Education Institutions
Schools and colleges also have the same
challenges as many other organizations. On top of
budget constraints, they also need to provide a
convenient way for students to access their
applications, requiring them to go through layers
of IT bureaucracy. In addition, schools need
network access on-demand without numerous logins
and passwords. And finally, they also require
increased security and the ability to comply with
multiple compliance mandates. In this case, it's
advantageous for institutions to use DaaS (for
example VMware is working with Schoology) where
students can easily access their desktops simply
by logging in via a browser.

Retail and Manufacturing
For retailers or manufacturers who are looking
for ways to increase customer satisfaction scores
as well as improve operational efficiencies, DaaS
can be a great option. With DaaS, your employees
have access to their files and applications from
a broad range of devices (for example all the
major mobile platforms), which means no matter
where they are or what device they choose to use
there's always an application available for
them. In addition, there is no need for
employees to carry company laptops or mobile
devices as they can access their files and
applications from a secure cloud-based portal.

Healthcare
For organizations in the healthcare industry,
increased productivity and better control over
equipment is critical to success. With DaaS,
clinicians now have centralized access to patient
records, research materials, critical medical
applications and information systems thua a
multitude of connected devices they need not
bring in preloaded laptops. In addition,
hospitals are also looking for ways to increase
patient safety, as well as improve collaboration
between clinicians, further increasing the need
for centralizing desktop resources while also
ensuring compliance with HIPAA regulations.

Business Development Organizations
Sales team typically has a critical need for
desktop resources while on the road. Being able
to access their email, files and applications
from a browser or mobile device in real-time is
often vital to success yet providing them with
an actual PC isn't always feasible. In this
case, sales teams can use DaaS (for example
through vDesk.works) where they can quickly and
easily subscribe to a cloud-based desktop
solution that allows them real-time access to all
their files, email and applications from a mobile
device or a browser while on the road.
