From Devices to AI Workspaces

Watch this on-demand webinar to learn why Desktop as a Service underpins AI adoption. Explore Copilot, agentic AI and cloud‑native Windows with AVD, Windows 365 and Nerdio, and gain practical steps to build secure, scalable AI workspaces.

About the webinar

The AI era is already here, but most enterprise IT environments weren't built for it. Organisations are deploying AI assistants and rolling out Copilot at scale, yet many find their infrastructure struggling to keep pace. The missing piece? A modern, cloud-native foundation built for the way AI actually works.

In this session, we'll explore why Desktop as a Service (DaaS) has become the strategic backbone for organisations serious about AI adoption. We'll cut through the noise around AI strategy, examining why pilots stall, what the "Doorman Fallacy" reveals about the risk of optimising for efficiency over value, and how to avoid the technical debt traps that derail long-term success.

We'll map out the journey from AI assistants to fully agentic AI, where humans set direction and agents run entire business processes end to end, and what each phase demands from your compute and workspace infrastructure.

You'll leave with a clear understanding of how elastic cloud compute, virtual desktops, and platforms like Nerdio Manager, Windows 365, and Azure Virtual Desktop combine to make the AI workspace vision a practical, secure, and cost-effective reality.

Whether you're just starting your AI readiness journey or already accelerating toward agentic AI, this session delivers the clarity and actionable insight to move forward with confidence.

Key takeaways

• Why your endpoint strategy is your AI strategy: understand how legacy device dependency and technical debt are the hidden barriers to meaningful AI adoption, and what it takes to build a solid, AI-ready foundation. 
• The real case for DaaS in an AI world: learn how cloud-delivered desktops provide the flexible, elastic compute that AI workloads demand, and why the future of Windows is cloud-native and AI-infused. 
• Navigating the journey to agentic AI: discover the three phases every organisation will move through, from AI assistants to human-led agents to fully agent-operated workflows, and how to plan for each stage. 
• How to avoid the most common AI pitfalls: from the "Doorman Fallacy" to the gap between strategic intent and tactical execution, learn the critical mistakes derailing AI programmes and how to sidestep them. 
• Practical steps to build your AI workspace: walk away with a clear picture of the tools, platforms, and architectural decisions, including Microsoft AVD, Windows 365, Intune, and Nerdio Manager, that will help you deliver secure, scalable AI workspaces today.
