Desktop

Even if the different categories of the working place are merging more and more, we can realize them independently.

If we are talking about the Office workplace, we are talking about Operating Systems (OS) like Windows, macOS or Linux Systems but also about applications and access permissions to several systems. The first thing you have to think about is, which kind of Office place you want to realize, Office in the Company, Home Office, Hybrid or mobile? In the modern world these days, we usually talking about a mix of all of that.

Since the pandemic at least the Companies realized that the mix is the perfect approach. That gives the Company and the employee the highest flexibility and choice but increase the productivity as well.

Mobile Device

Same thing as with the Office place, flexibility and the choice of workplace is very important nowadays. But a lot of out customers has mobile workers as well.

Today we can achieve a lot of work on the phone or tablet during traveling by train or airplane and don’t need to have a Laptop with us all the time. You was at a customer side and want to send some offerings or document some stuff directly afterwards in the companies central systems, you can do it. The access and applications are already there combined with the security aspect of course.

Security

The security part is more important as ever before in all areas of technology. We always consult you and implement the solutions in a secure way.

For example, you have your company phone with you and it get lost. All the data on the phone are lost and a potential security risk. How you handle that without the technology of a Digital Workplace. With the technology in place you can securely wipe you phone for instance remotely and make sure, that the data on the phone are secure.

An important topic to mention here from the experience is, the privacy of your data even the personal data. A lot of people have considerations about the management of their mobile phone because they are afraid about the potential access to personal data like pictures, which are stored on their mobile phone.

In general there are different approaches of the management of mobile devices within a company. You can use your personal phone (bring your own device – BYOD) or get a company phone. Both can be used and managed securely but has different technology aspect as well as advantages or disadvantages.

Let us consult you which approach is the right one for your business.

Single Sign On (SSO)

Part of the security consideration but even a technology stack is Single Sign On (SSO). With SSO you are able to comfortable login to your company resource with the right access permissions and to the right applications. You can decide if you want to combine that with fir instance Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA / 2FA) in addition in general or simply for specific resources.

As an example, we can realize a scenario like, you can login with a “Master Password” to your Digital Workplace with all applications and resource. After that you click on your Microsoft Office 365 (Microsoft 365) and will be logged in directly and smoothly without to type in your password again.

But, on the other side, if you click on your internal CRM, for instance Salesforce, you have to type in a 2nd factor authentication code in addition because you have decided that this system is highly sensitive and needs an additional level of security.

Both scenarios can be realized in the same Digital Workplace! Is that awesome? One design for different use cases. Find more in the section of Identity-as-a-service (IDaaS).

Flexibility of choice

Usually we expect a lot of complexity with such great capabilities in the technology. But that is not the case.

The most important thing is the design of the solution matches your business needs. Important here can be requirements like flexibility of choice, maintenance or easy to use.
