Case Study: Brentwood Borough Council achieves greater efficiency and cost savings with Nerdio

Local UK Government Authority Enhances Employee Experience and Efficiency with Nerdio Manager for Enterprise

Brentwood Borough Council, a regional government body serving over 75,000 residents, faced rising costs, limited IT resources and an unwieldy legacy virtual desktop environment after migrating to the cloud. The council’s small IT team needed a simpler, scalable solution to support digital transformation goals around customer experience, employee experience and data security, so they evaluated and adopted Nerdio Manager for Enterprise alongside Azure Virtual Desktop.

Nerdio implemented an automated, “set and forget” virtual desktop management layer that simplified image management, patching and real‑time scaling, improving security and user access to mission‑critical applications while enabling hybrid working. As a result, Nerdio helped Brentwood Borough Council control Azure consumption, increase operational transparency through reporting and save the equivalent of 0.5 FTE, all while reducing costs and environmental impact.
