Delivering a Flexible and Secure Digital Workplace for Local Government
Torridge District Council partnered with INTEGY to modernise its end-user computing strategy, creating a secure and flexible platform capable of supporting council staff wherever they work.
Building on an established Microsoft Intune foundation, the council adopted Azure Virtual Desktop and Windows 365 to provide secure access to applications and services while simplifying device management and supporting future workplace transformation.

The challenge
Like many local authorities, Torridge District Council needed to balance security, flexibility and operational efficiency while supporting a diverse workforce.
The council required a modern approach to delivering desktops and applications that could:
- Support hybrid and remote working.
- Maintain strong security and governance.
- Simplify onboarding and device management.
- Provide a consistent user experience.
- Extend secure access to contractors, consultants and partner organisations when required.
The Solution
Windows 365
A structured Cloud PC deployment model was developed using Microsoft Intune, Microsoft Entra groups and Windows 365 provisioning policies, providing a repeatable and controlled approach to delivering cloud-hosted desktops.
Unified Endpoint Management
Windows 365 was integrated into the council’s existing Microsoft Intune platform, creating a consistent management experience across physical Windows 11 devices, Azure Virtual Desktop environments, thin clients and Cloud PCs.
Secure External Collaboration
Using Microsoft Entra External Identities, the council gained the ability to securely extend access to contractors, project teams and partner organisations while maintaining governance and control
Trusted Partnership
The success of the programme extended far beyond the initial project objectives.
By working closely with the Torridge District Council team, INTEGY helped deliver a modern, secure and flexible workplace platform that supports both current operational requirements and future transformation initiatives. The successful deployment of Microsoft Intune, Azure Virtual Desktop and Windows 365 established a consistent management approach across physical devices, virtual desktops and Cloud PCs, creating a strong foundation for continued innovation.
