Modern Work

What is Modern Work?

Modern Work is a term that was launched by Microsoft and that you see popping up in many places. But what does it really mean? Modern Work refers to the new ways of working created by technological development and changing work culture. The concept consists of digital tools, services and technologies for working (together) more flexibly, productively and efficiently, regardless of location. To make this possible, different applications and tools are visibly and invisibly integrated with each other, into one powerful modern work environment for end users. In this way, Modern Work enables organizations to allow employees to work hybrid in a secure way, while still being fully connected and as productive as possible.

What Modern Work brings to your colleagues and organization

Maximum productivity

Modern Work boosts your colleagues' productivity by providing flexibility and mobility. It automates processes, it provides anytime, anywhere access to data and applications - making one less dependent on the office - and thus supports a healthy work-life balance.

Digital collaboration

Nothing is more annoying than editing a presentation, and finding out later that a colleague has done the same thing in another document. With a modern workplace, colleagues always work in the same, latest version of a file. And it is always possible to have conference calls.

Future-proof

A modern workplace is so flexible that it can move with developments in the market. It ensures that colleagues are always working in the most up-to-date environment. We therefore always keep you informed of developments to guarantee business continuity.

Cost control

Growth without having to invest for it first. Shrinkage when the situation calls for it. A modern workplace always moves with fluctuating user numbers, storage and bandwidth. The scalability of a modern workplace always keeps costs in line with your demand.
