Want to Boost Productivity and Creativity? Modernizing Endpoints Is a Start
In today’s world of business, being a remote employee is common. We have quickly created a new culture within the workplace, where screens have all but replaced conference rooms and water cooler chats. To keep up, improve collaboration and help employees work efficiently, modernizing endpoints is key.
First things first, what is an endpoint? Hint: You’re using one right now to read this blog. Endpoints are any physical device that you can use to connect to a network. That includes laptops, computers, tablets, mobile phones, servers, even printers and IoT (internet of things) devices like appliances.
Although the use of endpoints is widespread, the struggles of smooth communication and overworked employees are still real. On top of this, the proliferation of endpoints can pose a network security risk. With the evolving workplace becoming more digital, these issues present problems for employees and businesses alike. Microsoft 365 is offering new solutions to help.
Why Consider Modernizing Endpoints?
It’s simple: because hybrid work is here to stay. Since the pandemic, up to 73 percent of employees prefer flexible remote work options. However, 67 percent of employees want more in-person collaboration. To find a middle ground, hybrid work is ticking up. To create a safe remote work environment, secure personal devices and streamline network performance, endpoint evolution is critical. Microsoft 365 benefits include:
- Ease of cloud management, using one unified control pane
- Protection for people and their data through passwordless and secure single sign-on
- Collaboration apps, like Microsoft Teams, that provide seamless integration
- Enabling zero-trust security with one complete solution, which allows employees to fulfill duties from anywhere in the world while maintaining control over core security needs
- The ability to scale and adapt easily to changing conditions
Frontline Workers Benefit, Too
Although most frontline workers do not work in a hybrid office environment, Microsoft 365 can still help put our frontline workers first. Streamlining jobs with Microsoft 365 would allow important decisions to be made quicker and in the moment. Role-based solutions and cross-team compatibility increases productivity and empowers frontline employees. Look to Microsoft for:
- Security and support for a diverse range of devices
- Devices for specific roles and computing needs
- The ability to manage rapid growth of platforms, apps and services
- Easy-to-use, low-friction experiences that remain secure
- Consistent performance across diverse devices
- Streamlined IT and cloud management
