There’s also the expectation from employees to have the ability to work and collaborate from anywhere, and at any time.
This is, in essence, what is commonly referred to as a “modern workplace”, which is a term used to define organisations who recognise digital collaboration, technology and tools as the way of the future.
Yes, the world has changed, and if you weren’t on the modern workplace bus before COVID, you certainly are now. So what’s changed aside from significant worker dislocation?
Sure, you have access to everything, but do you know how to get to it? and do you remember all those login details to various applications and websites?
Have you ever just given up or called IT support? You’re not alone.
On average, kiwi businesses lose 1 hour per employee, per week on technology related disruption and this is the new challenge for organisations, with so many apps, files and tools, how do I ensure my people get to it efficiently?
And now that our teams can work from anywhere, how do we engage, train and help them to adopt new systems or tools?
Enter the digital workspace. A new concept changing IT delivery, focusing on the way we work, by providing a single “pane of glass” view to access all of your relevant applications and data with the ability to collaborate in one place, configured by role to standardise the way you work, offering greater efficiency and productivity using single sign on to all your apps through Microsoft
365 integration.
Imagine, onboarding a new team member by simply sending them the link to their workspace where they have everything they need in one place and an intuitive user-interface providing structure and simplicity. No more questions of
“where do I find this?” or “can you resend my login details to this?”
Along with adapting to any device, you can also brand and configure layouts, add custom tiles, and display key metrics and messages through a shared workspace tab to engage teams.
Digital workspaces are also improving adoption of new technology while significantly reducing overall IT costs for organisations by an average of 22% through the reduction of support
requirements, remote desktop and server requirements for legacy applications.
At Cloudland, we are seeing our New Zealand leading digital workspace product being applied to a variety of area’s including healthcare, professional services, construction, retail, transport and not-for-profits, with great results.
The overall feedback is it reduces complexity and boosts productivity.
So, rather than focusing on “IT support”, business leaders should be thinking of how to empower your team through an adaptive digital workspace.
