Seize the momentum of Microsoft΄s Modern Workplace

The office, as we know it, doesn’t exist anymore Microsoft has 30 years’ expertise in modernizing workplaces, starting with software that has made day-to-day tasks faster, easier and more collaborative.

And now, AI, machine learning and augmented reality are helping alleviate the administrative burden on today’s workers. As the world gets more connected and we rely on technology to power through our more manual, repetitive tasks, we can expect to see the nature of employment change. Specifically as:

• Workers are going to be expected to be more creative and more collaborative.

• Smart grids and smart cities turn high-tech convenience into the new standard of living.

• The next generations expect workplace technology that is as advanced as what they have in their home lives.

Which all means that the Modern Workplace is going to be less of a ‘place’ and more a series of carefully choreographed digital workflows.

Surface and Microsoft 365: Grab the opportunity With Surface devices specifically designed to work seamlessly with the full Microsoft ecosystem, there has never been a better time for our customers to bring their organizations up to speed with the pace of change.

Tying Surface devices back to an IT infrastructure and support services that are efficient, flexible, secure, and trusted will help you frame Surface in a way that goes beyond the hardware, and creates a compelling business case for your customers.

Ultimately, your deep understanding of Surface and the Microsoft 365 stack interact to help drive digital transformation will help you realize two primary benefits:

1. Boost your revenue: Instead of focusing on isolated hardware or software

solutions, your business will benefit from your customers’ ongoing investment in a complete IT solution, underpinned by enterprise-level security and post-sales support, and brought to life through ultra-premium, professional devices.

2. Cement your reputation: Establish yourself as a seller who provides proactive,

considered advice and guidance. In so doing, you will help organizations transform digitally and realize their own business ambitions, and create longer-term, more meaningful customer relationships.

As a company, we have a vision of powering businesses to do amazing things, and helping individuals reach their full professional potential through technology. This, to us, epitomizes what the Modern Workplace should feel like.
