Case Study: Multi-National Financial Services Company achieves 100% ROI and 97% time savings with Nerdio

Multi-National Financial Services Enterprise Gains 100% ROI With Nerdio

Multi-National Financial Services Company, a global firm with tens of thousands of employees, needed to move off Citrix, abandon its data centers, and adopt Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD). The Firm’s Microsoft rep recommended Nerdio for AVD management to simplify a large, hard-to-manage virtual desktop environment and provide an enterprise-ready solution.

Nerdio implemented automated AVD management—automatically updating monthly images, scripting installations for 30+ apps, and enabling pooled, secure desktops (e.g., 50 desktops serving ~1,000 users in Asia)—which dramatically reduced operational effort. As a result, Nerdio delivered up to 97% time savings (engineer image-prep time fell from ~2 weeks/month to 2–4 hours), freed roughly 77 hours per engineer each month, let a six-person team manage hundreds of host pools and 16,000 users, and produced measurable cost savings (including an estimated millions per year and claims of up to 80% lower Azure compute/storage costs), yielding a 100% ROI for the Firm.
