Microsoft brings Modern PCs enabling SMBs for 'The New Next'

Microsoft understands the current challenges of SMBs and the need to stay connected, productive, and secure while working remotely. Underlining its commitment to enable SMBs in the country to recover and reimagine, Microsoft is helping build adaptive and future-proof businesses with modern PCs and Microsoft solutions. In their journey to prepare for the future, businesses are looking to focus on three areas:

· Empower employees

Businesses need technology which provides a positive, shared work experience, and makes teams feel productive and empowered. Compared to traditional working arrangements and offices, the dynamics of remote working is significantly different. As a result, businesses are grappling for ways to easily adopt and adapt to remote working.

· Create future-flexible workplaces

Technology needs of each business will fluctuate as they adjust with this new reality. At the same time, this could expose the security infrastructure of businesses, making them highly susceptible to cyber threats and data breaches.

· Foster communication and community

The ability for teams to communicate and collaborate is a vital ingredient in enabling business continuity, agility, and growth. Collaboration and communication maximise workforce productivity and empower teams to contribute their best ideas.

Farhana Haque, Group Director – Devices, Microsoft India, says, “SMBs have shown immense resilience in their efforts to respond and recover amid the global crisis. We are committed to helping businesses navigate this unprecedented moment. Aided by simple and flexible remote work management, collaborating on Modern PCs using solutions like Microsoft Teams keeps the workforce in SMBs connected, productive and secure anywhere and anytime.”

A recent report launched by Microsoft reflects a record of 2.7 billion meeting minutes in one day. Further, nearly 71% managers and employees stated the desire for flexibility to work from home, post the pandemic. In such moments when we are all adjusting to the new next, it important for organizations to stay up and running with simple management and configuration of devices and more secure tools.
