The shift to hybrid is an opportunity to change and optimise the day-to-day processes that keep your organisation running. It’s a shift that offers exciting advancements for the way your organisation runs, from managing meetings, devices and productivity, to digitizing your business processes for maximum efficiency and security. 

  

 Top 3 take outs: 

  1. Move everything to the cloud, as quickly as you can to ensure everyone in your organisation is capable of working remotely without interruption in any circumstances while also increasing security and device management. 
  2. Digitize your business processes – every process within your organisation can be digitized using a range of Microsoft tools such as Power Platform, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales, Microsoft Cloud for Retail and many more. 
  3. Mandate Zero-Trust security from cloud to edge – do not presume any identity or device is secure on any network. Ramp up overall security using Microsoft Intune, Windows Hello for Business, Azure Authenticator and other tools designed to keep your organisation’s data and IT systems watertight when it comes to security. 

 

Tools such as Microsoft Power Platform can help automate processes, analyze data, build solutions and create virtual agents. Find out more about how it can help you here.
