Leaner Smarter EUC for Modern Enterprises

If you run end user computing (EUC) at scale, you’ve probably lived this story: a project spins up, a cohort of contractors arrives, or a seasonal peak hits, so you provision more virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) capacity “just in case”. Three months later, half those desktops sit idle, but the licence meter keeps running and the operational drag (patching, directory dependencies, image sprawl, support tickets) never really goes away.

That’s why Amazon’s latest announcement matters: Microsoft Office, Visio, and Project are now available as licence-included applications on Amazon AppStream 2.0. In practical terms, end users can open a browser and use the Microsoft productivity stack in the same streamed session as their business applications.
