challenge
A centralized transaction processing system hosted by an on-premises server had a negative impact on the performance and efficiency of the employees. A remote solution was needed to replace the legacy systems, ensure high user access, optimize administrative efforts and scalability even with large data volumes.

solution
Nagarro recommended to develop an Azure Virtual Desktop application. Once implemented, the accounting software served as a remote app for around 120 users via a host pool. Any additional desktops/users can be provisioned at any time by IT within a few minutes via a versioned image from the Azure Shared Image Gallery. The legacy software required an SQL server in the backend, so the accounting application was migrated to the Azure Cloud. An application and database server were provided for high-performance access.
