What's going on in the world of Blue Sky Systems


Our virtual desktops (VDI’s) are a ‘true desktop replacement’ with simple sign-on to any connected device as opposed to other providers who use a mainframe login. Not only does this give you a significantly better visual experience but it also has enhanced security and efficiencies that you wouldn’t otherwise get.


Security is a crucial part of your IT and our enhanced security offering is exceedingly valuable at a time when flexible working is becoming the norm, even though it creates greater security risks for businesses. With a specialist provider, your IT is taken care of and monitored regularly as opposed to an online arrangement whereby you give over your credit card details in exchange for a service.


Take a look at how we compare with some of the larger brands and see for yourself how we include many additional features as standard due to our unique approach.
