What does Modern Work mean?
Modern Work is a different approach that promotes productivity, creativity and teamwork, putting employees at the forefront when it comes to technology.
Creating a "modern workplace" involves using the latest Microsoft 365 cloud-based tools, services, and technologies to develop a more integrated and agile IT system that can evolve as a company grows.
A modern work environment transforms employees' experiences, helping them to be more productive and creative wherever they are, thus contributing to building a thriving organizational culture.
What are the steps towards building a modern workplace?
To make the transition to a modern job, IT teams need to build a plan that includes at least the following steps:
Environmental analysis
What licenses do we need? How do we deploy to the Office 365 suite, and then to Teams? What do we need in terms of networking? How do we make the transition from Sharepoint Classic to Sharepoint Modern? Do we want to include conference devices in our meetings? All these questions, but also other equally important ones, are answered in the environmental analysis.
The plan for a hybrid identity
The transition to the cloud involves, for a start, a hybrid identity. Thus, we will connect Microsoft on-premises services with those in the Cloud, using specialized services for this purpose. In this step we need to focus on authentication with cloud services, optimizing all the elements related to authentication. The result is the protection of the most important asset of our organization - the identity of users!
Implementing and activating identity and online services
Once we have carefully built an implementation plan that corroborates all the details mentioned above, we can start deploying Office 365 applications such as Teams, Word, Powerpoint, Excel and M365 services such as Exchange Online, Sharepoint Online, Onedrive, Endpoint Manager, etc. ..
