There’s also the expectation
from employees
to have the ability to
work and collaborate from
anywhere, and at any time.

is commonly referred to as a
“modern workplace”, which
is a term used to define organisations
who recognise digital
collaboration, technology and
tools as the way of the future.
Yes, the world has
changed, and if you weren’t
on the modern workplace bus

A new concept changing
IT delivery, focusing on
the way we work, by providing
a single “pane of glass”
view to access all of your
relevant applications and data
with the ability to collaborate
in one place, configured by
role to standardise the way
you work, offering greater
efficiency and productivity
using single sign on to all
your apps through Microsoft
365 integration.
Imagine, onboarding a
new team member by simply
sending them the link to
their workspace where they
have everything they need in
one place and an intuitive user-interface
providing structure
and simplicity. No more
questions of
“where do I find this?” or
“can you resend my login details
to this?”
Along with adapting to
any device, you can also
brand and configure layouts,
add custom tiles, and display
key metrics and messages
through a shared workspace
tab to engage teams.
Digital workspaces are
also improving adoption of
new technology while significantly
reducing overall
IT costs for organisations by
an average of 22% through
the reduction of support
requirements, remote desktop
and server requirements for
legacy applications.

our New Zealand leading
digital workspace product
being applied to a variety of
area’s including healthcare,
professional services, construction,

The overall feedback is
it reduces complexity and

So, rather than focusing
on “IT support”, business
leaders should be thinking of
how to empower your team
through an adaptive digital
workspace.
