The contemporary workplace has evolved; employees are now seeking roles that provide enrichment and fulfilment along with the flexibility to work from any location.

What are the Benefits of Modern Workplace?

> Flexibility and Productivity

Croft’s Modern Workplace solution enables employees to work from anywhere, on any device, without compromising on security and their access to essential tools. With Microsoft 365 (M365) at its core, staff members can easily access emails, documents, and collaboration tools like Microsoft Teams. This flexible approach increases productivity, meaning everyday tasks can be finished efficiently regardless of an employee’s location.

Adopting an advanced cloud solution, like Modern Workplace, helps improve performance by simplifying communications and project management using real-time collaboration. This maintains employee effectiveness and limits disruptions from location or device restrictions.

As part of the Modern Workplace service our experts take care of all aspects of M365 licensing, helping you to find the perfect match for your business.

> Enhanced Security

Cyber security should be a major concern for your business in today’s digital world, with cyber threats such as phishing and ransomware becoming increasingly common. A safe and secure environment will protect your company’s data while reducing the risk of cyberattacks on your organisation.

When you invest in our Modern Workplace solution security is not an add on, it’s included. Features like multi-factor authentication (MFA), security baselines and AI-powered endpoint security add an extra layer of protection, ensuring that your data stays secure across all devices. Employee and business data is also safeguarded from malware, spam, and suspicious links using additional integrated security solutions.

Our highest tier of Modern Workplace, Security Plus, also includes an advanced security measure called Zero Trust Suite. This ensures that only authenticated users can access your company’s data and networks, helping to further increase your security posture.

> Seamless Cloud Management

Managing user devices and data if your organisation employs remote or hybrid workers can be a challenging task. Modern Workplace aims to simplify this by using cloud-based management. Opting for a cloud-first solution like Modern Workplace reduces the need for onsite support, meaning troubleshooting and updates can all be done remotely. Additionally, your business can also reinforce security policies, monitor device compliance, and manage applications in real-time. The ability to do this means you can ensure that users remain on task and that your business continues to adhere to industry regulations.

> Continuous Training and Adoption

It’s an exciting time to be working in business as new apps are changing the way we communicate and collaborate, allowing us to do more, in less time. The adoption of new technologies and training is a crucial consideration in running a successful business. However, user adoption is one of the biggest challenges companies face when implementing new solutions. Without the right guidance and encouragement, employees can find it difficult to make the most of the resources available to them.

Modern Workplace addresses this issue by offering regular, on-demand training from QuickHelp, an online training platform designed specifically for Microsoft 365. QuickHelp offers customised learning courses using short, engaging videos that assist employees to master apps such as Microsoft Teams and SharePoint.

Using QuickHelp to maintain a focus on ongoing training will help boost output and provide your employees with the confidence and skills they need to succeed.

> Reliable IT Support

Unfortunately, technical issues can still happen even when you have the best IT support and tools in place. Modern Workplace gives you unrestricted access to our helpdesk, offering you peace of mind that help is on hand when problems occur. Whether it’s troubleshooting a software issue, restoring lost data, or answering a technical question, our IT support helps minimise downtime. It’s worth remembering that our support goes beyond just problem solving! Our IT experts can also offer advice on best practices, enabling your team to get the most out of your technology investments.

> Cost-Effective and Scalable

Modern workplace provides an affordable solution for IT support if you are concerned about managing budgets. By combining multiple services into one single solution with per-user pricing, it eliminates the need to invest in numerous independent services. As your business grows, Modern Workplace can easily scale to suit your needs, ensuring that additional users, tools and resources can be added without any large upfront costs.
