Windows 365 Implementation

A Windows 365 pilot is a comprehensive engagement designed to assess and address an organisation's hybrid work and end-user computing needs.

It involves a 5-7 day process where selected users are provided with Cloud PCs to pilot Windows 365 in the production environment. The pilot aims to demonstrate the ease of provisioning and managing Windows 365 Cloud PCs, running Windows 11, with Microsoft Intune. It also showcases how to secure users' identities, data, and devices with a zero-trust security model. The ultimate goal is to develop a joint deployment plan and recommend next steps to expand the solution within your environment.

The Windows 365 pilot is a key step in validating user readiness, identifying and mitigating issues, and ensuring a successful organisation-wide rollout. It's a strategic move towards embracing scalability, growth, and increased productivity, adapting to business demands by providing a pilot of cloud PCs.

The steps for our Windows 365 pilot are below:

• Step 1: Initial workshop to discuss the Windows 365 pilot design and deployment plan.
• Step 2: Collaborate to set up and onboard Windows 365 in line with best practice, including building a design decisions checklist and executing any necessary remediation activities.
• Step 3: Provide training and adoption presentations to the selected group of users.
• Step 4: Offer operational guidance and present an executive summary of the pilot results to key business decision-makers, including findings and recommended next steps.
• Step 5: Develop a joint deployment plan and recommend further steps to expand the solution within your environment.

These steps are designed to ensure a smooth pilot experience and to prepare for a broader deployment of Windows 365 within the organisation.
