Modern Workplace

Empower your business with cloud-first solutions that boost productivity, enhance security, and align technology with your strategic goals.

Is technology leaving your business behind?

Many growing New Zealand businesses face significant challenges with their technology, and it’s easy to feel that technology has left you behind. Some of the reasons might include:

For many organisations, their current set-up just doesn’t keep up with modern ways of work like hybrid work and BYOD, which demand technology systems that don’t just support but empower. This can lead to frustration, inefficiencies, and a sense that your technology is holding you back rather than propelling you forward.

The threat of cyberattacks is probably the number one concern IT leaders have. An on-premises tech set-up often means security relies on ageing hardware and software, and advanced, multilayered cybersecurity tools cannot be supported, leaving your critical data vulnerable. This constant worry can be a significant drain on your resources and peace of mind.

Managing on-premise hardware and fixed price software is expensive. High capital expenditure if often not reflective of the value the technology brings, and ongoing maintenance, upgrades, and hardware replacement costs eat into your bottom line. These unpredictable and escalating costs can make it difficult to budget effectively and see a clear return on your IT investment.

Without a clear vision to get to the cloud, deploy applications, and launch innovative services, your business can feel like it’s drifting technologically. This lack of direction can result in reactive IT decisions, missed opportunities, and an inability to leverage technology for competitive advantage.

Modern Workplace and Copilot

Modern Workplace is the essential first step to fully preparing for and then accessing the complete power of Copilot.

By establishing a robust cloud foundation through Modern Workplace, you create the optimal environment for integrating and maximising advanced AI tools like Copilot.

Copilot for enterprise offers significant advantages over free generative AI apps, providing enhanced security, data privacy, and tailored functionalities that are critical for business operations. Businesses have the choice of Copilot Chat (included with all M365 licenses) or integrated versions of Copilot for M365 which provide access to Copilot from within Office apps. All versions are protected by Microsoft Enterprise Data Protection (EDP).

Unlike public Copilot applications, M365 Copilot for enterprise is designed to work seamlessly within your organisational context, leveraging your specific data and workflows in a secure and compliant manner.

This distinction is crucial for businesses looking to harness AI responsibly and effectively, ensuring that your valuable information remains protected while you benefit from cutting-edge AI assistance.
