And the devices we put in our people’s hands
must be fl exible as well, suitable for use at the desk, in the boardroom, client site or on the move (train journeys do still exist!). Whilst a cumbersome workstation replacement
laptop might have fi tted the bill for the occasional foray out of the office in years past, in a world where most people are shifting from home to offi ce several days a week, we need devices that are easily unplugged and light but powerful. Microsoft’s range of Surface devices are
ideal for this. According to Forrester Research, Microsoft 365-powered Surface devices give users up to five hours in weekly productivity gains, with up to nine hours saved per week for highly mobile workers. T ey off er one-cable connections to dock/undock, are incredibly portable and off er a range of form-factors to suit almost any need. It helps as well that they are built by the same company that has created an unmatched set of collaboration tools in the Microsoft 365 suite – clearly these two products are designed to work together beautifully. Using Device-as-a-Service offerings we can
affordably equip our team without tying up precious capital. The Microsoft 365 suite too enables our
organisations to work in this fl exible way, bringing all the tools into one place to plan a project, communicate easily, collaborate on documents in real time and, crucially, the tools to keep our data safe and secure from compromise. T e Business Premium plan off ers mobile device management functionality, multi-factor authentication and data rights management, which means we know our devices are secure, the users are who they say they are, and key data can be kept confi dential. ACS have been a Microsoft Gold-Certified
Partner for many years and were recently awarded Surface Gold Partner status. A Microsoft Gold- Certifi ed partner is a company that has agreed to collaborate and establish a close working relationship with Microsoft. Having that title means the company who applied itself has earned the highest standards of Microsoft’s widely recognised partnership programme. Dynamic Working offers us the potential of
having happier, more productive people and ultimately successful businesses, but bringing the key elements together successfully – the right IT devices and software, strong cyber security, offi ce interiors that adapt and enable whilst being kitted out with the right communications capabilities - needs a holistic approach. We believe ACS are uniquely placed to guide you in this endeavour.
