Your Full Desktop, Built for Regulated Finance

Azure Virtual Desktop replaces on-premise VDI with a cloud-native desktop experience. No more hardware refreshes, VPN headaches, or compliance gaps from unmanaged devices.

Full Windows Desktop

Windows 11 multi-session desktops running in Azure. Encompass, Byte, PointCentral, Office apps, and every line-of-business tool your team uses today.

Data Never Leaves Azure

Loan files, member data, and financial records stay in Azure datacenter. Nothing is cached on the local device. Lost laptops become a hardware issue, not a data breach.

Connect From Any Device

Windows, Mac, iPad, Chromebook, or thin client. Your team connects through any device with a browser or the Azure Virtual Desktop client. Same experience everywhere.

Conditional Access Built In

Microsoft Entra ID conditional access controls who connects, from which devices, at which locations. MFA required. Non-compliant devices blocked before they reach your desktop.

Predictable Monthly Cost

No capital expenditure on VDI hardware. Azure consumption billing means you pay for what you use. ABT manages sizing, scaling, and optimization to keep costs predictable.

Examiner-Ready Logging

Session activity, sign-in events, data access, and policy enforcement all logged and available for audit review. Meets FFIEC and GLBA remote access requirements.

Built for How Financial Institutions Work

ABT configures Azure Virtual Desktop for each institution's specific application stack, compliance requirements, and team structure.

Remote and Hybrid Loan Officers

Loan officers access Encompass from home, a branch, or a realtor's office. Same desktop experience every time. Data protected by conditional access, not VPN.

Seasonal Processing Teams

Scale up desktops during refi booms or peak origination periods. Scale down when volume drops. No hardware to purchase, image, or decommission.

Branch Consolidation

Replace aging branch PCs with thin clients or tablets running Azure Virtual Desktop. IT manages one golden image instead of hundreds of individual machines.

BYOD with Zero Data Exposure

Employees use personal devices without exposing member data. AVD streams a display signal. No data downloads. No clipboard leaks. No local file caching.

Everything You Need to Run Secure Desktops

ABT manages the full Azure Virtual Desktop stack. Your IT team focuses on supporting users, not maintaining VDI infrastructure.

  • Windows 11 Multi-Session: Multiple users share a single VM. Reduces Azure compute costs by 30-40% compared to dedicated VMs.
  • FSLogix Profile Management: User profiles load in seconds regardless of which host machine they connect to. Seamless experience across sessions.
  • MSIX App Attach: Applications delivered on-demand without baking them into the VM image. Updates deploy in minutes, not hours.
  • DLP and Sensitivity Labels: Microsoft Purview enforces data loss prevention on virtual desktops. Sensitivity labels follow documents from desktop to email to SharePoint.
  • Disaster Recovery: If your office goes down, your desktops keep running in Azure. Business continuity without secondary sites or failover hardware.

Azure Virtual Desktop FAQ

Azure Virtual Desktop is a cloud-native desktop virtualization service from Microsoft. Unlike traditional VDI that runs on on-premise servers, AVD runs entirely in Azure. There is no hardware to purchase, maintain, or replace. Microsoft handles the control plane, and ABT manages the host pools, images, and user access. AVD also supports Windows 11 multi-session, which is only available in Azure.
Yes. Encompass runs on Azure Virtual Desktop the same way it runs on a local PC. ABT configures the host pool with the correct CPU, RAM, and storage specifications for Encompass performance requirements. Loan officers connect from any device and get a full Windows desktop with Encompass, Office apps, and their LOS plugins preinstalled.
AVD centralizes data in Azure datacenters with SOC 2 attestation, ISO 27001 certification, and FedRAMP authorization. Conditional access policies enforce MFA and device compliance before connection. Session logging tracks sign-in events, data access, and policy enforcement. DLP policies prevent unauthorized data transfer. ABT configures all of these controls as part of every AVD deployment.
AVD cost depends on the number of users, VM sizes, and storage requirements. Most financial institutions running 50 to 200 users see monthly Azure costs between $40 and $80 per user. Windows 11 multi-session reduces compute costs by sharing VMs across users. ABT provides a detailed cost estimate during the assessment, including reserved instance savings and auto-scaling optimization.
A standard AVD deployment takes 4 to 6 weeks. Week 1 covers assessment, application inventory, and Azure sizing. Weeks 2 and 3 focus on host pool configuration, image building, and application installation. Weeks 4 and 5 handle pilot testing with a small user group. Week 6 is full rollout and training. ABT manages the entire process.
