Why it matters 

• Browser‑native access (no clients, no VPN) across Windows, Linux, Mac 
• Zero Trust with granular, role‑based controls + SSO 
• High‑fidelity performance up to 4K @ 60fps with multi‑monitor support

• Built‑in cloud storage integrations (OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox, Box) 
• Education‑ready: LMS integration, Virtual Classroom, and real‑time collaboration 

At the core is Portia, Apporto’s AI virtual desktop assistant, delivering natural‑language help and real‑time diagnostics (e.g., pinpointing sources of desktop lag) to proactively resolve issues and reduce helpdesk demand. Advanced admin and autonomous operations features are currently in beta. 

“Every week I’m with customers who say Apporto feels refreshingly different—fast to roll out, effortless to manage, and backed by a team that operates like an extension of their own,” said Mike Smith, Director of Marketing at Apporto. “That partnership mindset, combined with our AI‑forward roadmap, is why they choose us—and why they stay.”
