Background
A leading provider of digital solutions for customs clearance and freight management engaged Rambunct to modernise its virtual desktop infrastructure. Leveraging Amazon WorkSpaces, Rambunct delivered a secure, scalable, and cost-efficient cloud environment that accelerated seasonal staff onboarding, enabled remote contractor access, and ensured ISO 27001 and regional compliance.
The Challenge
The client required a secure, scalable virtual desktop environment to support a globally distributed workforce while meeting strict security and compliance needs.
- Existing on-premises VDI was expensive to maintain and lacked flexibility for seasonal or remote staff onboarding.
- Workforce spanned Australia and offshore centres, requiring consistent desktop experiences for consultants, analysts, and customer service agents.
- Needed to process sensitive financial and legal data in line with ISO 27001 and regional data protection regulations.
Our Solution
Rambunct implemented Amazon WorkSpaces to deliver secure, cloud-based virtual desktops accessible from anywhere for the client.
- Provisioned persistent Windows 10 desktops in AWS, accessible from laptops, thin clients, or tablets.
- Integrated with AWS Directory Service for Microsoft Active Directory for centralised authentication.
- Enforced secure, encrypted access via Amazon VPC and AWS VPN.
- Configured Amazon CloudWatch for monitoring, proactive scaling, and cost optimisation.
The Result
The solution delivered measurable improvements in efficiency, cost savings, security, and workforce flexibility.
- Cut onboarding time from 5 days to under 1 hour for new hires and contractors.
- Achieved 30% cost savings over the previous on-premises VDI with pay-as-you-go pricing and right-sizing.
- Enhanced security and compliance by storing all data on AWS with MFA enabled.
- Enabled rapid scaling for seasonal projects and provided consistent, high-performance desktops from any location.
