Case Study

Secure, Scalable Cloud Desktops with AWS WorkSpaces

Background

A leading provider of digital solutions for customs clearance and freight management engaged Rambunct to modernize its virtual desktop infrastructure. Leveraging AWS 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 centers, 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 centralized authentication.

  • Enforced secure, encrypted access via Amazon VPC and AWS VPN.

  • Configured Amazon CloudWatch for monitoring, proactive scaling, and cost optimization.

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.
