Microsoft has given us a very special award! We believe awards come in many forms. They can be as simple as the personal gratification one gets from a job well done or a “thank you” from a customer when you’ve gone the extra mile to help them out. Then there are the “big” awards that come with the recognition that you’re doing something really meaningful – at scale. On June 28^th David Willis, CVP US OCP group at Microsoft, notified Workspot that we’d been chosen for the 2018 MSUS Partner Award - Partner Seller. That's a long title, but what it means is that we are doing amazing work for our customers, and that is the best award we can receive!

When it comes to enterprise software, you've always made tradeoffs and hard choices. In particular, simplicity and enterprise-class features just don't seem to go together. And with VDI, while legacy solutions are enterprise-ready, the notion of simplicity didn't even enter anyone's mind. The analogy has been drawn many times: Two things that just don't seem to go together, like peanut butter and chocolate, yet it turns out they are amazing together. People love it. Hence peanut butter cups, peanut butter M&Ms, and chocolate covered, peanut butter pretzels! Well, now Workspot has combined virtual desktop simplicity with enterprise-readiness... and people love it! 

You've heard the phrase, "There's no I in Team". This basically means that teams must work together to achieve a goal; no single person can do it alone.

This defines the culture at Workspot and how we work together to make sure our customers are successful with our solutions, but we take it a step further. We say, "There's no I in Workspot", and that means that when you work with us to deploy virtual desktops, you'll never have to "bring your own Infrastructure" (BYOI). We provide your organization "PCs in the Cloud"! Simply decide how many you need and in which of the 54 Azure regions they should live, and we do the rest. 

As recently as a year or so ago, most tech industry pundits were still talking about a hybrid world in which data center growth was alive and well. The thinking was that many workloads just don't belong in the cloud, and at that time there were still some lingering concerns about data security in public clouds. Fast forward to today and not only are the pundits changing their tune, but CIOs in both the public and private sectors are issuing directives to avoid on-premises data center infrastructure investments - in favor of moving to the cloud.
