Organizations using Windows 365 have reported significant cost savings, including an 88% reduction in IT costs for desktop deployment and maintenance, and a 96% reduction in machine recovery costs. Over three years, the composite organization in the study saved $1.1 million in IT labor costs and reduced hardware costs by $750 per contractor through the BYOPC (bring-your-own-PC) program.

Windows 365 has been shown to improve productivity for various user groups. For power users, the estimated productivity gain is valued at $2.2 million over three years. Additionally, employees joining through mergers and acquisitions can access corporate resources three weeks sooner, recapturing 120 hours of productivity per employee. Self-service capabilities also allow users to troubleshoot issues independently, saving time and reducing downtime.

Windows 365 improves security by allowing users to access corporate data and applications without storing sensitive information on local devices. This centralized approach mitigates risks associated with data leaks and unauthorized access, as organizations can instantly revoke access when necessary. The cloud-based model also reduces the security concerns tied to physical desktops and VPNs, which were prevalent in previous setups.
