High-Performance Cloud Desktops for Global Design Teams

Desktop as a Service built for design and engineering-led teams. Secure, scalable, and ready to perform - wherever your people work.

Work Anywhere.
Without Compromise.

Modern organisations need secure, high-performance desktops that can be accessed globally without the cost and complexity of managing physical devices. Traditional desktop environments struggle to support hybrid working, performance-intensive applications, and rapid business change across multiple regions.

Creative ITC delivers fully managed, cloud-hosted virtual desktops accessible anywhere in the world. Our global Desktop as a Service platform supports demanding applications, enables secure remote access across regions, and delivers a consistent user experience for distributed teams, while removing the overhead of managing desktop infrastructure in house.

Fully Managed Cloud Desktops
Engineered for Complex Workflows

Modern design and engineering workflows demand performance, flexibility, and reliability - often across multiple locations and time zones. Creative ITC’s fully managed Desktop as a Service platform removes the complexity of delivering and maintaining high-performance desktop environments, giving your teams secure access to the tools and data they need to work effectively from anywhere.

Work at full performance anywhere

Enable teams to run demanding applications without latency or local hardware limitations.

Reduce infrastructure overhead

Replace large CAPEX costs with a predictable monthly OPEX model.

Scale quickly with your projects

Deploy desktops based on user demand and scale up or down as project needs change.

Strengthen security and control

Keep data centralised and secure, with full visibility over access and usage.

By centralising infrastructure and managing the entire desktop lifecycle, we help organisations simplify operations, reduce overhead, and deliver consistent performance across distributed teams.

Built for the way your teams actually work

Global Project Teams

Desktop as a Service ensures every user gets the same high-performance experience, regardless of location. No more lag, version conflicts, or fragmented workflows.

Remote & Hybrid Workforces

Give your teams secure access to fully configured desktops from any device, with the performance they need to run demanding applications smoothly.

High-Performance Workloads

Applications like Revit, Civil 3D, and visualisation tools demand serious power. Our cloud desktop solutions deliver GPU-enabled performance, removing dependency on expensive, high-spec physical workstations.

Desktop as a Service, done properly

Fully
Managed

Desktop as a Service delivers centrally managed, cloud‑hosted virtual desktops with secure global access, application support, performance optimisation, and ongoing management across hybrid and remote working environments.

Profiles
Optimised

We design and manage desktop profiles based on how applications are actually used - not just CPU, GPU and RAM allocation - ensuring performance is optimised for real‑world workflows, not theoretical workloads.

Engineered
Gold Images

Rather than relying on a single generic image, we design and manage multiple gold images per profile where required, aligning images to specific applications and workflows to deliver a consistent, physical‑desktop‑like experience.

Seamless
Adoption

By right‑sizing profiles, optimising application stacks, and validating usage during proof‑of‑concept, we make cloud desktops easy to adopt - so users trust the platform from day one.

Simplified
Operations

Desktop as a Service is designed for both users and IT teams, with structured management, triage processes, documentation, and knowledge bases that make virtual desktops easier to support, scale, and run long‑term.

Trusted by design and engineering teams worldwide

Transforming design delivery with managed IT services that drive collaboration, resilience, and innovation across every project.

What our clients say

Simon Johns

Head of IT & Computational Design, Populous

I regularly network with fellow IT directors among Creative’s customers. That’s how I knew VDIPOD would handle resource-hungry applications like Revit and Adobe.

Ronnie Vasconcelos

Director of IT, Broadway Malyan

I asked around and all recommended Creative as the leading experts when it came to VDI. Instead of customising an off-the-shelf product they’d gone a step further and built their own platform for heavy graphics application communities like AutoCAD and Revit BIM.

Marcus Madden-Smith

Partner, Stephen George+Partners

With Creative managing all our cloud services, we’re now able to pivot from being reactive to being more proactive in terms of what's next in technology advancements so we can be ahead of that curve.

James Blood

Digital Director, Stephen George + Partners

Like most organisations, we’re focussed on net zero targets, including getting proper scope three calculations. All Creative ITC managed cloud services are hosted in data centres operating on 100% renewable energy and provide us with really robust sustainable credentials.

Ian Edwards

President and CEO, AtkinsRealis

This investment will transform how we deliver with our clients, allowing us to move at pace, improving productivity and collaborating across time zones and disciplines in a way we’ve never done before

Cameron Williams

Chief Information Officer, Vertex Energy

There’s a huge difference between an ordinary IT provider and a true partner. Creative's relentless focus on customer enablement, speed, agility and seamless service throughout the acquisition process ensured critical business operations were able to continue uninterrupted.

Nuzrul Haque

Vice President & IT Business Partner, AtkinsRealis

Nobody else has the technical expertise and deep industry understanding to do what Creative can.

Paul Selby

IT Business Partner - Enabling Services, BAM

Our global teams are significantly more agile, and downtime is a thing of the past, reducing the risk of project delays and budget overruns.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Will performance match physical desktops?

Answer:
Yes. Creative ITC’s Desktop as a Service platform is optimised for demanding, graphics-intensive applications like CAD, BIM, 3D modelling, simulation, and data analytics. With GPU acceleration, low-latency connectivity, and intelligent resource allocation, users experience the same or in many cases better performance than a high-spec local machine.

2. How quickly can we deploy desktops for our teams?

Answer:
Deployment is fast and flexible. Environments can be provisioned in hours, not weeks, allowing you to scale desktops to match project demands or rapidly onboard new team members. This eliminates the delays and complexity of traditional hardware rollouts.

3. How secure is the environment?

Answer:
Security is built in by design. Data remains centralised, access is fully controlled, and all desktops are continuously monitored. Our platform supports enterprise-grade compliance standards, giving you peace of mind for sensitive projects and distributed teams.

4. How does Desktop as a Service affect IT overhead and costs?

Answer:
Desktop as a Service reduces infrastructure complexity and cost by removing the need to maintain physical devices, manage upgrades, or deploy software manually. You replace large upfront CAPEX with predictable OPEX, while IT gains full visibility and control over desktops without extra operational burden.
