Remote Work Readiness Part 1: VDI and Remote Desktop Services (RDS)Heidi Hoff
Storcom has created this series because we are seeing, just like you, a ton of emails in our inbox on the topic of virtual workspace and remote work options. We felt that it was time to put on a series that was coming from a vendor-agnostic standpoint and really was designed to provide information that you really need to make informed decisions. We hope that we can help cut through the clutter and marketing hype in this series and dig into some of the real questions you need to be asking around any of the topics we are planning to discuss in this series. These seven questions are:
1) How much customization will each employee require?
2) How many applications do my remote users need to have access to?
3) What kind of device will your end-user be utilizing?
4) What do my users need as far as performance to get their work done effectively?
5) Why not choose RDS (remote desktop services)?
6) How are you going to deal with security challenges today?
7) Which financial model do you want to use?
The document discusses seven must-have teleworking tools for remote work. It describes tools for video conferencing (Microsoft Teams, Zoom), internet connectivity, email communication (Microsoft Outlook), phone communication, real-time messaging, file sharing and storage (OneDrive, Google Drive, Office 365), project management (Project Planner, Procore), knowledge management (Taskworld), security (IPassword, Proton VPN), and concludes that teleworking is an important way to manage businesses effectively and flexibly.

The document provides examples of how Microsoft 365 helps with common collaboration challenges and scenarios.
Respond-Recover-Reimagine: Building Business ResilienceDavid J Rosenthal
Digital transformation is more
urgent than ever
Even organizations that were farther along in their
digital transformation journey before the pandemic
now need to move more quickly. The imperative isn’t
just to transform, but to improve agility, speed to market,
and stability—to achieve faster return on investment.
Enabling Teamwork From Anywhere - From Microsoft and Razor TechnologyDavid J Rosenthal
As we look at how Microsoft 365 cost savings can help customers achieve their goals, these are the key categories of savings.
Consolidating to a single vendor can cost much less than choosing different vendors for multiple capabilities. Microsoft 365 includes many of the capabilities for which you are currently paying other vendors.
The expectation is that every customer should be able to reduce administration effort because Microsoft will now be responsible for maintaining the hardware and software. This helps IT transition to higher-value activities and boost morale.
The security solutions within Microsoft 365 greatly reduce the number of successful end user security attacks. Attacks that are successful are usually found faster when the impact is less severe. That means easier remediation. Compliance solutions help reduce your risk by managing alerts on potential insider risk, protecting sensitive information, and quickly finding and responding to regulatory requests.
Microsoft 365 helps organizations reduce office space costs by enabling them to move on-site employees to permanent, secure and remote positions. It also allows for valuable collaboration while reducing travel costs.
Microsoft 365 helps organizations transform and streamline business processes through workflows, dashboards, AI capabilities, and more.
Any customer previously paying for Microsoft client software and CALs that would no longer be required after licensing Microsoft 365 would receive this benefit.
Compared to their on-prem peers, customers who have strongly adopted Microsoft 365 are:
66% more likely to say they are “very confident” in their org to deliver technology that’d help them manage through challenges.
57% more likely to say that end users have the technology to enable flexibility to choose where they get their jobs done
2.1x higher levels of user satisfaction with the remote work experience relative to peers less adopted on Microsoft 365.

Microsoft Teams - Transform Workplace CollaborationDavid J Rosenthal
Transform Workplace collaboration
by bringing everything together into a shared workspace where you can chat, meet, create, and make decisions as a team.
And since all your content is organized by team or project, you are able to stay in the flow of your work. It takes the average person 23 minutes to regain productivity after an interruption, or being distracted.
Streamline business processes
You need ready access to business-critical data, applications, and be able to execute repeatable processes efficiently. Since Teams is a true platform, you can plug in apps and services you already use, and even integrate your existing tailor-made tools INTO Teams.
Imagine being able to seamlessly kick off a repeatable approvals process without ever having to leave Teams.
Connect across your entire organization
Teams is just as important and effective a tool for a C-level executive, as it is for somebody on a factory floor, in a retail shop, a classroom, a hospital, in a marketing role, or anyone in between.
We have thought about the unique needs of many different types of workers and provide solutions through Teams that are tailor-made for them. And Microsoft is the only collaboration solution provider who has dedicated engineering teams building functionality specifically for roles across industries.
For example, you can see here how Teams gives Firstline worker managers a tool to manage schedules and gives the workers an easy way to consume that information, or even swap a shift.

Creating intelligent content: How to automate personalised, one-to-one market...Empired
Now more than ever as organisations we need to accelerate our digital engagement and use our content intelligently, sensitively and helpfully.
One of the only ways to connect with customers is digitally, and so the challenge for us as brands is how do we deliver a relevant and engaging experience at scale? And, within that, how do we make sure that we're tailoring the right content, to reach our audiences in the right ways, at the right time?
In this webinar, we'll discuss the importance of personalisation in delivering an outstanding customer experience and the challenges marketers face when it comes to delivering true one-to-one personalised journeys. We will then look how Episerver's new Content Intelligence and Content Recommendations can, through the power of AI, help marketers gain deep content insights and automate true one-to-one, personalised marketing at scale.
The Coronavirus pandemic had a profound impact on the way we work. Almost overnight, organisations have had to learn how to work remotely – and collaborate effectively – often by the most expedient means possible.
The good news is that the flexible, remote working practices and tools that always seemed like a good idea in principle, have now been tested under extreme conditions and, in many cases, have been proven to be highly effective. To maintain the momentum and continue to realise the benefits, it's essential that we balance that flexibility and immediacy with governance and management. This is particularly true with 'easy to use' tools designed with user empowerment at their heart, such as Microsoft Teams, Zoom and others.
In this webinar, we explore common pain points and problems arising from the explosive growth of these tools and potential solutions to those problems. We will hear from Anthony Martino, IT Operations Manager at flybuys (Australia), on how they plan to balance user empowerment with effective governance and management. We will look at practical approaches available to all customers, to continue realising the benefits of flexible working in a secure, streamlined and controlled manner.

Empired Convergence 2017 - Business Transformation Across the EnterpriseEmpired
The document discusses digital transformation across enterprises. It defines digital transformation as changes associated with applying digital technology in all aspects of society. There are two main types of digital transformation: business model transformation, which involves realigning technology and business models to engage customers; and technology-driven transformation, which uses technologies like CRM, ERP and APIs to transform customer experience and operational processes. The document outlines strategies for digital transformation, including transforming customer experience through customer journeys and service blueprints, transforming operations through process mapping and API-led architectures, and transforming business models through innovation and M&A support.
Empired Convergence 2017 - Bringing your People on the Change JourneyEmpired
Change management is the structured approach to preparing people for new ways of working needed for future performance. It represents 75% or more of the total benefits of a change. There are three types of change - developmental, transitional, and transformational - requiring different levels of change management support. Measuring performance before, during, and after a change shows the effectiveness of change management activities in supporting digital transformation and realizing benefits. Change management is critical for protection of investment and return, and cannot start too early in a project.
This document discusses the importance of digital convergence and empowering people through technology. It contains quotes about the need to learn and adapt faster than competitors to gain an advantage, and how we cannot solve problems with the same thinking used to create them. The document advocates using every piece of technology to enhance human capabilities, and outlines how digital convergence can engage customers, empower business operations and efficiency, and enable a smart, modern and secure business.
Empired Convergence 2017 - Unleashing the Power of the PlatformEmpired

It stresses the importance of the employee experience and developing a business case to prove the value of investing in a modern digital workplace.
Empired Convergence 2017 - Keeping Pace, Staying Safe in the Digital WorldEmpired
This document discusses how organizations can keep pace with digital transformation and security challenges. It recommends developing a cybersecurity program to understand threats, identify risks, build defensive strategies, and continuously validate effectiveness. It also suggests reviewing network perimeters as traditional firewalls are no longer sufficient, and establishing identity as the new control plane since users, apps and data now extend beyond network boundaries. Identity-driven security is presented as a solution to gain visibility and control over users, devices, apps and data both on-premises and in the cloud.
With more than 50,000 new malware created every day organisations can no longer afford to risk the financial and reputational impacts of a security or data breach, which can be too much for a business to recover from. Because of this, IT managers face increasing scrutiny and pressure from CEOs, managing directors and boards to prove that they are keeping the organisation secure.
The changing threat landscape means organisations need to be vigilant and smarter about security. While businesses still face threats from infected devices and malware, attackers have also moved beyond that. For example, there is an increasing number of targeted email attacks with cyber criminals spending time to monitor communications so they can imitate emails that are so sophisticated that even relatively savvy users will open them.
This webinar will explore the building blocks required to ensure you have the roadmap required to best protection against cyber attacks. We will provide you with a high level view of the following topics:
· Audit and discovery – What are your weaknesses and are you compliant?
· Education – Do your employees know when not to open that attachment?
· Policy – Do you have the right policies for your industry?
· Technology – Where to start and what has changed?
Dynamics Day 2017 Adelaide - Customer Experience Design Empired
The document discusses becoming customer centric by designing customer experiences. It outlines a 6 step process: 1) Don't buy technology yet, 2) Set tangible goals, 3) Understand target customers through personas and journey mapping, 4) Build the customer journey, 5) Learn and adapt, 6) Make the customer experience an obsession. Key points are that most companies have an "inside out" view rather than considering the customer experience, and that customer experience design can lead to improvements like 20% growth in satisfaction and 20% reduction in churn.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

19. Staying
productive while
working remotely
with Microsoft
Teams
Set up your workspace, Find a space in your home where you can
concentrate. If you're somewhere with background distractions, use background blur
in Microsoft Teams to keep teammates focused.
Communicate often, Clearly communicate your working hours with your
teammates so that they know when to reach you. Set a status message in Teams to
share this information proactively. Offer frequent progress reports to teammates.
Maintain healthy boundaries, Remote workers sometimes find themselves
working for long stretches without breaks for exercise, socializing, or a proper meal.
remind yourself to mentally “clock out” from remote work at the end of the day.
Embrace online meetings, Make sure all meetings include a virtual “join”
option so that team members can join from wherever they are working. Turn video on
so your team can interact face to face and feel more connected.
Be mindful and inclusive, overcrowded conference calls can make it difficult
for people to share their opinions. Pause frequently to allow time for questions and
remind attendees that they can use the chat window to share their thoughts. “Raise
hand” feature is coming soon…
20. Staying
productive while
working remotely
with Microsoft
Teams
Record your meetings, Double-bookings can be hard to avoid. Record
important meetings. Team members who aren’t able to join can watch later or
search the automatically generated transcript for important information.
Make up for missing hallway talk, Make up for missing hallway talk
or small-chats at the coffee machine. Think about chat messages as your
virtual Coffee machine and set yourself a reminder to check in with people
regularly.
Bring the team together, Working remotely can feel isolating. It’s
important to create opportunities for the whole team to get together virtually.
Maintain meetings, use Whiteboard app for brainstorming.
Have fun!, With all the changes that come with moving to remote work, it’s
important to foster and maintain team morale. Share news and stories in your
team chat or hold a photo contest. Praise someone!
21. Teams is for everyone, different departments and industries

Editor's Notes
This should take about +- 30 minutes
What do we hope to achieve by this?
KEY POINTS:
Windows Virtual Desktop (WVD) is the best virtual desktop and app experience, delivered on Azure
Best Product:
Multi-session Windows 10 delivers Client experience, on shared VMs
Optimized for Office 365 ProPlus – Microsoft Office applications are some of the most highly used and most commonly virtualized applications for any business. Poor email client performance is one of top issues preventing many enterprises from fully adopting non-persistent virtual desktop models. For administrators, the various workarounds to this problem can result in dramatically increased server utilization, increased cost, and ongoing poor and inconsistent performance for end users. With FSLogix, Office 365 ProPlus enables faster load times for user profiles in Outlook and OneDrive. FSLogix Apps Profile Containers move the entire User Profile, including the registry, to an in-guest container, which appears to be fully integrated with the local system. This approach completely eliminates the need for Folder Redirection or other network-share based workarounds leading to long server queues during peak periods. User email performance is returned to ‘normal’, or indistinguishable from running Outlook in a well-optimized local computing environment.
Microsoft takes care of the control plane, keeps the service up and running
Includes all FSLogix technologies including, Profile Container, App Masking and Java Redirection
Best Value

Compatible with SCCM/Intune
GPU acceleration for encoding and video provides improved responsiveness and smooth video playback
User can use built-in or attached cameras in remote applications or remote desktops with new and legacy Windows applications
The first economic benefit for infrastructure is you can have Windows 10 experience at multi-session cost. It matters to you because with today’s VDI solutions you’ll have to either go with Windows Server RDS which compromises on user experience or Windows 10 single-session which compromises on cost; but with WVD, you can get both. Let’s take a look at a customer migration scenario here. If you are using Windows 10 single-session on-prem today for better user experience (against Windows Server RDS deployment), WVD is the best solution for you going forward because not only it provides local like Windows 10 experience for your end users but also saves you big bucks via multi-session deployment.
Let me explain why. For a single session deployment on the left hand side, you’ll need 1 small VM per user, which usually ends up with low utilization. In comparison, for a multi-session deployment in the middle pane, you can have a larger shared VM to support multiple users so that you have higher utilization. in addition to that, since you’ll have fewer VMs, you can also expect lower operational costs. As a result, you can expect your multi-session cost to be around 1/6 of your single-session cost as seen on the right hand side. This is the key differentiation of WVD as you will find no other solution in the marketplace that supports Windows 10 multi-session.
Calculation logic and assumptions:
$40 and $7 PUPM includes compute, storage, and networking cost, estimated for medium user type (basic Microsoft Office apps users) based on default assumptions from Microsoft guidance
Key assumptions:
Users
1,000 medium users
Azure Region
US East
Compute
Single-session: 1 user per D2s v3
Multi-session: 32 users per D8s v3
3-year reserved instance rate
Storage
20 GB storage requirements per user with Azure NetApp Files
Networking
150 kbps egress per user with virtual network
US East same region
Note 1: See Appendix [WVD Cost Estimation for Win10 multi-session vs. Win10 single-session] for the complete cost calculation
Note 2: Numbers are rounded for simplicity
WVD customers benefit from all the investment we’ve put into Azure Security.
And customers can configure familiar Azure Security services, as they build out their deployment
There are 3 security advantages which belong to the WVD service alone
- the attack surface is reduced, because we use reverse connect technology. Essentially that means we don’t open inbound ports to VMs, so there are fewer places for bad actors to attack
- The ability to define role-based access means the customer can parse out administration tasks, and also protect their most sensitive user groups and work loads
- Finally, every customer will ask you this. Are user sessions isolated, even in a multi-session environment? Yes. They are. That’s important to communicate…
We are asserting that WVD will be more efficient and simpler for your customers to use. Why?
- for a start, it’s one service for both desktop and Remote App. So admins only need to learn one service
- WVD is one more service in the Azure family, and the admin will be familiar with Azure
- we are still building tools, but our aspiration is that we will have the best and most comprehensive set of management tools out there. And our partners will help build those tools.
- know that the management consoles and interfaces are still in development…but we have active deployments out there, and a workable set of tools.

KEY POINTS
Many Microsoft customers are already eligible for WVD today…
This makes positioning WVD even easier
Prerequisites needed to deploy WVD:
Azure Subscription – Deploy virtual machines, network resources, and all the items you typically need to spin up a VM
Azure Active Directory – If using O365, Intune, or other Microsoft cloud service, that means you already have this. If not, there is tons of documentation that describes how to set up Azure AD.
Determine your identity strategy (AD, ADDS) - more on this in the next slides.
All associated Azure resources – Tip: ensure these are deployed in same region. Not requirement but helpful.

How do different departments use Teams?
Marketing teams can manage go-to-market, public relations, event planning and their budget within Teams. They can add guests e.g. agencies with secure guest access. They can connect relevant third-party services to each channel, such as Bing News Alerts, Twitter Connector, Adobe Creative Cloud, HootSuite and YouTube.
Sales teams can manage sales planning, RFP/Proposals. Teams provides a single place where all this collaboration, reporting and knowledge sharing can happen. They can set up monthly business reviews as meetings in Teams. Document sharing e.g. sales playbooks can be done from within Teams. They can also use apps like PowerBI, Planner or even task management apps like Trello.
Finance teams can conduct their finance reviews within Teams and also share content around, business insights, audits, and compliance. Teams provides a hub in which all files, data, conversations and meetings can happen in a single place, safely and securely. They can easily share files like annual financial statement review or audit report and use apps like Excel, PowerBI, Planner or even pin critical files, internal or external websites to a tab
HR teams can manage their recruitment, training, events, and reviews from within Teams. Teams provides a single hub where HR professionals can collaborate, plan, share notes and communicate decisions. They can upload files to the channels e.g. HR policies, candidate information, offers extended, training or recruitment guidance notes, internal websites, feedback forms and surveys. Use a shared One Note or Wiki for candidate feedback. They can use Teams for training calls in Teams and do post training surveys on third party apps like Survey Monkey.
IT can leverage Teams a hub for service strategy, problem, incident and change, deployment, health and reporting, readiness and adoption, support and management and governance. They can set up connectors e.g. bots for process automation.
Engineering teams can leverage Teams for go-to-market, feature releases, testing, feedback, competitive information, research and product analytics. They can set up connectors or tabs for VSTS, JIRA, BitBucket and GitHub or leverage developer tools like Botkit.
