But what do we mean with “One Logical Estate”?

A logical estate is not about architecture, it’s about control. A logical estate isn’t about managing everything with one tool. It’s about applying a consistent operating model across different technologies. The tools may differ. The principles should not. It’s not about “one size fits all”. It’s about one operating model.

What should we aim for?

The goal is simple in theory, but powerful in practice: Treat all endpoints and form factors consistently.

What should you do next?

Don’t start with this question: “Should we choose AVD or Windows 365?” Start with this one instead: “How do we want to manage and govern our digital workplace as one logical estate?” That’s your north star. The industry spent the last decade consolidating infrastructure. The next decade will be about consolidating operating models. Organisations that succeed won’t necessarily have the newest technology.

Why do we get stuck?

Across multiple customer engagements, a few consistent friction points show up. The friction is not in the service, it’s between teams and responsibilities. 1. Ownership is unclear There is an uncertainty around who approves the updates and approves when we update.

How do we unlock progress?

To move forward, the conversation needs to shift. From configuration to operating model.
