Citrix renewal shock
Licence line item up 30–50% and leadership asking why you're still on Citrix when competitors moved to cloud desktops.
Citrix · Azure Virtual Desktop · FSLogix
Citrix renewal landed — you need Azure Virtual Desktop without six months of pain
The renewal quote shocked the board. Logons are slow, images break every patch Tuesday, and your MSP's AVD plan is either vague or six figures. You need someone senior who has done Citrix→AVD before — fixed-price clarity in days, not another strategy deck.
- Citrix or VMware renewal forcing a decision in the next 90 days
- Remote staff complain about logon time — VPN and desktop pain every peak season
- MSP quoted AVD but nobody qualified reviewed waves, rollback, or identity readiness

Why you're searching
Something forced this decision — you're not browsing for fun
These are the triggers we hear on fit calls from MDs, IT leads, and ops managers across Brisbane and Australia.
End-of-life or unsupported stack
Vendor pressure, security findings, or aging hardware — staying put is no longer a safe default.
M&A or new MD mandate
Acquired business on different remote access, or new leadership wants standardised Azure identity and desktops.
MSP plan needs a second opinion
SOW on your desk, room nodded, but your IT lead still has unanswered questions about FSLogix, networking, and cutover night.
Sound familiar?
You're not alone — this is who we talk to every week
Managing Director
“I can't sign another three-year Citrix bill without knowing AVD is actually cheaper and won't break peak season.”
IT Manager
“I've been asked to 'look into AVD' but I don't have bandwidth to pilot FSLogix while keeping Citrix running.”
Operations lead
“Field staff can't get into systems from site — every outage hits job scheduling and client callbacks.”

Book this packageCommon questions
- How long does Citrix to AVD take for 50 users?
- Pilot in 2–3 weeks; full cutover often 6–12 weeks depending on apps, identity, and networking. FC-02 gives realistic timeline before you commit.
- Can you work with our existing MSP?
- Yes. We design and deliver migration waves; they keep helpdesk and BAU. Common pattern for SEQ businesses.
- Do you only do Azure Virtual Desktop?
- AVD is our most common Citrix exit path. We also deliver Azure Local hybrid and full cloud architecture on Azure, AWS, or GCP.
