Are you an IT leader considering Desktop as a Service but have the following concerns? Our subject matter experts clarify a few DaaS objections.
1. "We’re concerned about data security."
With DaaS, your data never leaves your organization to go and live on end-points and devices. Instead, it lives on the private or public cloud of your choice. This reduces your worry about your devices being compromised and allowing viruses, malware, and ransomware to come from edge devices and client computers into your corporate network. This relieves you from the stress of data being compromised due to lost or stolen devices. Also, DaaS includes advanced encryption, multi-factor authentication, and centralized management to ensure your company data remains secure.
2. "We’re worried about the performance."
DaaS tends to increase performance, productivity and user experience. Here's how. If you're a remote user today and are using VPN to connect into your corporate environment, every time you run an application, you're sending traffic back to your headquarters, datacenter or where ever your application and data reside. Meaning, there is a round trip time that happens every single time you work on the data.
DaaS brings the work that you're doing directly adjacent to the data center that you're working on. By virtue of the fact that where you're doing your work exists in the same network as to where your server environment, applications and data resides, you will find that the performance is better. DaaS eliminates the latency that previously existed between your application on the client side and on the back end of your server side. DaaS has a higher latency tolerance than running a CRM application across a VPN connection. By virtue of proximity, performance increases, which also improves productivity.
3. "We don’t want to lose control over our IT environment."
It’s natural to be cautious when evaluating a solution that might seem to shift control away from your team. However, it’s important to note that our DaaS solution is designed not to take away control, but to refocus your control where it matters most—on strategic initiatives and critical IT decisions, rather than on the day-to-day maintenance and firefighting that often consumes IT resources. Let’s rethink control—not as a burden to micromanage, but as a tool to lead smarter.
From access controls to security policies, DaaS still keeps you in the driver’s seat. You decide who gets access, how resources are allocated, and what security standards to uphold. By offloading routine tasks like updates, patching, and software management to our team, you gain time to focus on higher-value activities like improving IT processes, ensuring compliance, or driving business value. Additionally, it frees you from the worry of compromising the data that lives on employees' devices.
