Windows 365 Frontline
Transform the way your essential workforce works. Windows 365 Frontline is the newest Windows solution, enabling your frontline employees to be more productive and efficient.
Give shift and part-time workers the flexibility to work from anywhere
Productivity on any device
Boost productivity by providing a modern Windows experience from the cloud to shared devices. Now, frontline workers can access powerful Cloud PCs during their shifts.
Stream a complete, personalized Windows experience
Increase efficiency for frontline workers by providing personalized Windows 365 Cloud PCs that retain their apps, data, and settings whenever they sign in on any device, from any location.
Remove the constraints of shared physical devices
Cloud PCs enable Bring Your Own PC (BYOPC) and remote work scenarios, so your frontline workers aren’t limited by the constraints of sharing physical, on-premises PCs.
Deliver seamless access to Cloud PCs from shift to shift
To start a shift, employees sign in to Windows 365 from the web or the Windows 365 client. When they sign out, a personalized Cloud PC automatically becomes available for the next employee.
Secure by design
Give frontline staff the flexibility to work remotely without risking the security of corporate data and apps or violating regulatory and compliance requirements.
Reduce security risk with apps and data stored in the cloud
Meet your industry-specific requirements with cloud-based app and data storage that works seamlessly with leading security, identity, and compliance solutions from Microsoft.
Increase productivity and security with automatic sign out
Automatically sign workers out of Cloud PCs if employees forget to log off, ensuring that Cloud PCs remain secured and are available for the next worker.
Keep Cloud PCs protected from unauthorized access
Specify time-out periods for Cloud PCs, allowing workers to leave their devices unattended for quick breaks without risking unauthorized use and quickly resume working when they return.
Manage more with less
Extend Cloud PC usage to more of your workforce using your existing tools and team, maximizing your technology investment.
Equip more employees with Cloud PCs for less
Provide Cloud PC access for any three employees per license with Windows 365 Frontline. You only need to purchase enough licenses for the number of active users at any given time.
Manage Frontline Cloud PCs with your existing IT investments
Manage Windows 365 Frontline Cloud PCs with Microsoft Intune alongside your other Windows 365 Cloud PCs and endpoints. Plus, there’s no additional infrastructure components or special procedures required.
Accommodate staffing fluctuations common with shift work
Provision new Cloud PCs in just a few steps, and without requiring additional overhead, to quickly accommodate times when organizations need to staff up.
“Windows 365 helps us respond quickly when we need to staff up third-party contractors and equip them with the full Windows experience. And because we manage it all with Intune, only one team is needed with no additional infrastructure, saving our team time and money.”
