Perhaps you’re looking to build your business around efficiency, but don’t know where to start. It’s all about optimisation and it all starts within your virtual workspace.
A Modern Workplace is a cloud-based environment that brings a firm’s files, applications, security and remote access into one managed system, it’s the best way to accelerate your business performance.
In this guide, we’ll explain why a Modern Workplace will streamline your business to maximum efficiency.
As you reading this, I’m sure you can relate to some of these issues.
Files Scattered everywhere: Some on a local server, on a USB stick, on a different desktop, or even buried in an email from 2 years ago. Either way, it’s a pain to find the final version
Different version of the same document: If two people edit the same document, they’ll save it under different names, and then time is wasted trying to understand which is the “correct one”
Security gaps nobody has spotted: A firm assumes it’s covered, right up until the day it isn’t. Regulated practices hold exactly the kind of confidential data that turns a breach into a regulatory problem, not just an IT one.
Together they cost hours every week and put your compliance position at risk. At HDUK we see them constantly, and a modern workplace is built to remove them
Your team works best when you collaborate
Two members are working on the same document at the same time within a secure virtual location. That’s productivity.
This goes for any document, application, or service with more than one person working on a project. The Modern Workplace allows for everyone to collaborate equally cutting time down, and accelerating business performance.
The same version everybody works on, is the only one that matters.
Secure access to all files needed for every role, whether they’re working in the office or at home. The modern workplace also provides a zero trust policy, meaning that access is checked every time.
Essentially, an important file is within reach with everybody working on it. And can be sent across to a client, from the office or at home, within a secure environment.
A lot of concern comes for upgrading to the modern workplace comes from whether or not it can support legacy applications. Let’s put a rest to those concerns.
A modern workplace can move that software into the cloud, alongside all of your information.
You keep the tools, the data, and all external storage within the cloud, your applications will be able to work at a faster rate with no large files bringing the speed down.
Want to grow your company? The Modern Workplace allows for seamless scalability, accelerating the set-up of new staff.
The platform expands as your firm does, so taking on staff doesn’t trigger a fresh round of IT procurement every time. It’s safe, secure, effortless. A virtual workplace that builds with your business.
A licence is the easy part. The 365 setup gives every business the same services. That being said, whether or not it’s set up correctly for your organisation’s needs is an entirely different matter.
At HDUK we build each client a modern workplace shaped around how that specific firm works.
We’ve done it for accountants and law firms in particular, so we understand the compliance pressures, the confidentiality expectations and the software quirks that come with regulated work
