Sopra Steria Cloud Center of Excellence (CCoE) has earned the Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop (formerly Windows Virtual Desktop) advanced specialization, a validation of a partner’s deep knowledge, extensive experience, and expertise in deploying, scaling, and securing virtual desktop infrastructure on Azure.

Only partners that meet stringent criteria around customer success and staff skilling, as well as pass a third-party audit of their Azure Virtual Desktop technical practices, are able to earn the Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop advanced specialization.

 

Supporting secure remote work for employees is more critical than ever.  Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop is a Microsoft solution that seamlessly integrates with other Microsoft products and allows customers to implement virtual desktops in a scalable, secure, and cost-effective way. 

Partners with validated capabilities in implementing Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop can help customers deploy and navigate the licensing efficiencies it offers to deliver the solution that is most efficient for their organization.

"Remote or hybrid work environment has never been so relevant to organizations of any size aiming at improving productivity. This advanced specialization achievement on Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop demonstrates Sopra Steria's commitment to help enterprises benefit from Cloud-based, efficient, and secure solutions. Thanks to faster deployment, automatic security updates and savvy provisioning, these solutions facilitate new ways of working from anywhere." said Xavier Pecquet, EXCOM Member at Sopra Steria in charge of Key Accounts & Partnerships

 "The Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop advanced specialization highlights the partners who can be viewed as most capable when it comes to deploying Azure Virtual Desktop in Azure. Sopra Steria clearly demonstrated that they have both the skills and the experience to offer clients a path to transition to desktop-as-a-service in a scalable, secure, and cost-effective way." added Rodney Clark, Corporate Vice President, Global Partner Solutions, Channel Sales and Channel Chief at Microsoft.
