Hybrid working has become an increasingly popular professional lifestyle over the past 5 years, and with this new standard, technology has evolved alongside the work-from-home environment. HDUK’s Modern Workplace for hybrid teams is the right choice to improve your business’s productivity while maintaining the WFH environment.
We’ve supported over 7,500 users from across the UK since 2010, and we’ve found that companies struggling with hybrid models are due to outdated infrastructure, not the remote working initiative.
Which is why we’re here, at HDUK. We specialise in getting your business back on track, and it starts with modernising your virtual workspace.
HDUK’s Modern Workplace is a cloud-based framework for running a business. It provides a selection of productivity tools, mainly Microsoft 365 tools such as Teams. SharePoint and OneDrive.
It also offers identity device management, security layers and much more to ensure your business remains safeguarded while your employees work in a remote environment.
When talking to clients, we hear a lot of reservations about adjusting to a hybrid approach, the main concern being:
“Productivity drops when staff works from home”
This isn’t true. When staff use tools that haven’t been properly tuned to a remote workforce, productivity drops. Our Modern Workplace for hybrid teams offers a virtual workspace to which everything works seamlessly.
Firms that change to a hybrid model that don’t evolve with the change tend to fall behind. Flexibility brings improvement to the workplace, which is what we offer in our Modern Workplace
When properly deployed, our modern workplace addresses hybrid working issues and enhances the level of efficiency. This is a four layer implementation.
Beyond all the technical layers, here’s what hybrid teams will start to notice:
No, Microsoft 365 is a set of licences cover apps, email and storage. Modern Workplace is the broader Microsoft framework, which includes management tools such as Entra ID, Intune and Defender.
For typical professional firms with 10 – 50 users, HDUK Modern Workplace migration takes around four to eight weeks of transferring documents, data and applications. This is to ensure that everything works smoothly until the final execution. A smooth transition isn’t always the fastest course of action, but it’s absolutely the safest course of action.
You can also keep working in your current hosted environment throughout the migration. The two run hand in hand, so there’s no downtime and no scramble to switch over on a single day.
We highly recommend it. Possibly more than larger firms. With fewer staff, less internal IT support, and higher consequences from a cyber breach, leaving any one of these four layers out of your virtual workspace could leave your business exposed.
Hosted Desktop centralises everything onto a virtual desktop accessed remotely. It’s most useful where legacy applications need a stable hosted environment. Modern Workplace is cloud-first: apps and data live in Microsoft’s cloud and are accessed natively from each device.
Hybrid working is here to stay, and at HDUK, we implore you to embrace the hybrid model.
