Empowering the Modern Workplace

As the modern workplace continues to evolve to meet the needs of both employers and employees, it is also creating several challenges for companies.  In our previous post, we outlined how employees are no longer tied to physical locations and the need for on-the-go productivity and collaboration has never been greater. Businesses must now implement solutions to empower the mobile workforce.

The major challenge for small businesses is that they are likely to have less defended IT infrastructures, making them a target for cyber-attacks. A recent study by YouGov and Microsoft found that 71% of SMBs “feel vulnerable to a cyber-attack, jumping to 87% for businesses that have already experienced a breach.”

SMBs are facing a dynamic workplace in which they need to ensure their employees have the tools to streamline collaboration, support employees remotely and protect their business from internal and external threats. It may seem like a daunting and expensive task, but this doesn’t have to be the case.

Why Microsoft 365 Business?

Having looked at what Microsoft 365 Business is and what it can do, let’s look at some of the reasons we recommend Microsoft 365 Business to SMBs:

  • Enhanced Collaboration – Enable your workforce to streamline their efforts and stay in sync, wherever they may be. SharePoint team sites provide a set of tools integral for collaboration.

  • Productivity On-the-Go – Keep your team in touch and productive on-the-go, on any device. Thanks to OneDrive, files stay synced so employees have access to the latest version of each document, no matter where they are, allowing every user to work remotely. And sharing files is easy: employees can share files or folders with specific people, send links that enable access inside or outside your organization, and easily view and modify the permissions they’ve granted. Co-workers can collaborate on the same document at the same time. As you review the document, you can quickly make decisions and edits together, rather than laboriously swapping versions back and forth via email.
  • Always-On Security – Microsoft 365 Business gives you enterprise-grade security against external threats and data leaks, but at a price your business can afford.

A consistent set of security settings designed for your business gives peace of mind, with automatic and universal enforcement of policies lowering your business’ risk profile. Built-in encryption automatically protects lost or stolen devices, while a remote wipe of business data on devices can easily be performed.
