Hello Summer of 2022, Goodbye Office Space: Tips for managing your remote workforce
It’s 2022 and many businesses have transitioned from the office to working from home.
Now more than ever technology is crucial to business continuity, so I wanted to share three of the most effective solutions in managing your remote workforce.
Modern Device Management
Today’s users are looking for more ways to remain productive while working on any device – which means you must look for ways to secure & manage these devices.
Microsoft Endpoint Manager will equip you with the confidence to secure, deploy and manage all users, apps, and endpoint devices without disrupting business collaboration & continuity.
This unified platform includes both Configuration Manager & Microsoft Intune, allowing you to provide a level of device flexibility for your user, while also ensuring cloud security across all endpoints
This not only saves time, but it also maximizes your existing Microsoft Investments to modernize the work from home experience. ?
Cloud First Modality
Critical services should now be cloud-based. Hosting critical business applications on a local machine should be avoided.
Users want flexibility. Keeping your data in the cloud means everyone (with the correct permissions) can access data, on any managed device & from any location.
You may think that the cloud is less secure than traditional email & file servers – but the truth is cloud is now more secure than on-premises devices.

So how will your users connect with clients? With each other?
As you can likely guess, the theme here is user flexibility & mobility.

2 年There is an idea of a Remote Work,?what used to be some kind of abstraction, but now there is no real need for a physical office presence. Now only an entity, something illusory, and some hide the fact our needs have full shifted from physical to digital collaborations. Maybe you can sense our workstyles/productivity are probably comparable, but with one key aspect; we are simply not there.
