For companies with limited or no technical expertise on site, technology needs to be simple to setup and easy to manage.
IT should be seen as an enabler and not a hindrance to both your business and your employees
Managing your desktop environment with limited resources can prove costly and time consuming in the long run. With continuous security updates and application issues and rebuilding machines it can take an employee out for a couple of hours while their machine is looked at by an IT engineer for repair.
With older equipment it could to prove to be uneconomical to repair and having to source new equipment for new starters is all cost coming out of your profits.
For those responsible for finance, IT spend must be manageable and ideally predictable, any solution must have the ability to scale up or down with business demands without breaking the bank.

Virtualized desktops is not a new concept and has been around for a while now.
The costs of implementing an on-premises solution can prove to be expensive as the costs are just redirected to the server infrastructure required to host the solution.Maintaining the server infrastructure with regular updates and hardware upgrades or repairs can be expensive for a small business and requires expertise in a number of areas from storage to networking to virtualization.For large companies this is manageable as they tend to have the resources and budget to facilitate best of breed VDI solutions. But for smaller companies, what is required is a cost effective opex model with the scalability to expand as the business grows.

Desktop as a Service (DAAS) is a good alternative for a small or mid-size businesses that want to provide their end users with the advantages of a virtual desktop infrastructure offers, but find that deploying a VDI in-house to be cost-prohibitive in terms of budget and staffing.
Desktop workspaces are delivered via the cloud providing a faster more responsive workspace that can be accessed from anywhere. You still get he same functionality as a Windows PC with the ability to run the same applications.
With DAAS you are charged on a per user per monthly basis so for organisations with a high turnover or with seasonal employees this could make well be the smart answer in driving down costs.
Company data is no longer a concern on the users device as the data is all in the cloud. The user access the windows workspace from a dumb terminal and can hop onto any terminal in the office and get working fast.
For staff working within a mobile, bring-your-own-device environment, you can run the same environment on tablets as you would experience on high-end desktops. This model also opens the door to thin client desktops and Chromebooks that can be replaced in mere minutes instead of hours.
