Physical or digital collaboration anytime, anywhere: the litany of benefits offered by hybrid working has quickly seen it become a firm favorite for organizations. To make the best use of this new way of working, however, your technology has to be up to par. What can Surface do for you?
First things first: hybrid working means that people are no longer tied to a fixed workplace (such as at home or in the office) and work in a dynamic manner – both individually and with others. In practice, this means that you can work digitally today and collaborate with others in a face-to-face setting tomorrow. Not only businesses have cottoned on to the benefits of hybrid working: schools and universities have embraced it too.
Adaptive hardware
You need the right hardware for this dynamic way of working, and the truth is: PCs play a key role in every hybrid working environment. That is what research agency Forrester Consulting found after it was commissioned by Microsoft in June 2021 to evaluate what equipment and infrastructure companies would need in the post-pandemic hybrid work environment. For this study, Forrester conducted an online survey in 11 countries, reaching 1,733 decision makers in IT and HR, and career guidance positions. So, what exactly did they conclude? By investing in better PCs, business and IT leaders expect to equip employees with the right equipment for a flexible and collaborative work environment, enabling them to work from anywhere while improving productivity and customer experience.
