UCB Pharma Case Study on Azure Virtual Desktop Implementation

This case study details UCB Pharma's implementation of Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) and the subsequent partnership with Nerdio Manager for Enterprise to enhance their digital workplace. UCB, a global biopharmaceutical company, faced challenges in managing a large network of 13,000 endpoints across 9,000 workers while ensuring compliance in a highly regulated industry. The study outlines how UCB sought to streamline operations and reduce costs associated with traditional endpoint management. By leveraging Nerdio, UCB achieved significant cost savings, reported at 80%, through automated management of virtual machines. The case study also highlights the environmental benefits of Nerdio's auto-scaling feature, which dynamically adjusts resources based on demand, contributing to reduced energy consumption and carbon footprint. Furthermore, the implementation allowed a small team to efficiently manage a complex environment that would typically require a larger workforce, thus enhancing operational efficiency and allowing focus on core business objectives.
