Many things are changing in the world right now, and technology is no exception. As usual, we are spending a lot of time on R&D, training, and investigating new technology. Why do you care? Because we see certain technologies being key enablers for our clients moving forward. We’re already using most of these technologies (accelerated by WFH), and many clients are rethinking the way they want to work.
If you don’t know about these key enablers, you should, because they are disruptive technologies. We’ll give you a primer here, with the “why” for each.
| What | Why |
| Azure AD | Enables security in a WFH, cloud-first workplace |
| Intune | Automatic software deployment, enforcement of company IT standards, mobile device security |
| Autopilot | Automatic setup and configuration of new computers, anywhere |
| SharePoint | File sharing without a server, simultaneous document editing |
| OneDrive | Easy access to SharePoint and backup of local documents |
| Teams | Team chat, meetings, calls, and collaboration |
| Microsoft 365 Business Voice | Potentially disruptive extension to teams calling and traditional business phone systems |
Many of these features are things you’re already paying for, and others present minimal additional cost. If you’re interested in moving your business IT to a cloud-first strategy and enabling WFH more permanently, let us know. We’ll start the planning process and discuss the best way to help you move forward.
