Microsoft Modern Workplace is a cloud-based suite of tools that empowers your teams to work securely and productively from anywhere, anytime. Combining all your Microsoft 365 apps, such as Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive with advanced security and device management, Modern Workplace creates a connected way of working that supports businesses of any size.
Designed to simplify IT and reduce risk, Modern Workplace provides secure access to data and apps, protects identities and devices, and ensures compliance with the latest industry standards. Plus, with automatic updates and built-in governance, your team can stay focused on business growth rather than managing infrastructure.
Ultimately, Modern Workplace solutions bring communication, collaboration, and protection into one streamlined platform - helping you cut complexity, avoid unnecessary licence costs, and keep everyone fully-connected.
And, with Focus Group as your partner, you’ll get expert advice, seamless deployment, and ongoing support to get the most from your Microsoft Modern Workplace tools.
As businesses move towards more hybrid mindsets regarding work and operations, Microsoft Modern Workplace tackles the barriers you face on the day-to-day. By replacing scattered tools with one secure, cloud-based platform, Modern Workplace makes it easier for you to collaborate, share files, and communicate across locations.
On top of that, automatic updates cut the burden on IT teams and ensure compliance stays current. By simplifying licensing and consolidating services, Modern Workplace solutions lower costs and complexity - giving your employees a seamless work experience and IT leaders the visibility and control they need to keep things running smoothly.
Microsoft Modern Workplace brings together the tools your business needs to stay connected, productive, and secure. With an array of Microsoft 365 apps in one place, you get seamless collaboration and file sharing.
Additionally, advanced security and compliance features - including Microsoft Defender, Intune, and identity protection - keep users, devices, and data safeguarded. You’ll also benefit from governance controls, licence management, and automated updates to keep everything running smoothly.
Plus, with the expert services provided by the Focus Group team, these tools create a secure, scalable platform for hybrid work and long-term digital transformation.
Your workforce expects to collaborate, to work from anywhere and to get the most out of the data available to them. Knowledge workers need to be confident that shared documents are secure, well-organised and easy to find. Your IT operations team needs to procure and update apps, fixing faults and managing devices remotely. Hybrid workers are the new perimeter of your network, expanding your attack surface. However, a well-managed security framework brings confidence that every user, their devices, and their identities, are protected, on and off the network.
Managing Remote & Hybrid Workforces
Coordinating devices, apps, and security for teams who work from multiple locations can quickly become overwhelming. Disconnected tools lead to inefficiency and security gaps. Microsoft Modern Workplace provides a unified cloud platform - Teams, OneDrive, Intune - that enables secure access, centralised management, and seamless collaboration for on-site and remote employees alike.
Ensuring Security & Compliance on Limited Budgets
SMEs often lack enterprise-level budgets but still face enterprise-level threats. Managing MFA, data loss prevention, and regulatory compliance piecemeal is costly and inconsistent. Microsoft Modern Workplace brings enterprise-grade security - Defender, Purview, and conditional access - built into familiar tools, reducing complexity and cost while improving protection and compliance from a single dashboard.
Integrating Disparate Tools & Legacy Systems
Many SMEs rely on a patchwork of legacy software and cloud apps. This causes silos, wasted time, and poor data visibility. Microsoft Modern Workplace integrates productivity, communication, and file management in one ecosystem, replacing fragmented tools with a single, secure platform that streamlines workflows and boosts productivity.
Supporting and Managing Multiple Devices
BYOD policies and diverse device fleets make patching, updates, and security tricky. Manual configuration drains IT time and leaves vulnerabilities. Microsoft Modern Workplace - with Intune and Autopilot - automates device setup, updates, and compliance policies, giving IT managers visibility and control over every endpoint from one console.
Scaling Technology with Business Growth
As SMEs grow, IT teams must scale systems, licensing, and security without disrupting operations. Point solutions often don’t scale gracefully. Microsoft Modern Workplace is built for scalability - flexible licensing, cloud storage, and integrated security - allowing IT managers to add users, apps, and protections quickly as business needs evolve.
Managed service
Extend your expertise with a skilled managed service team that works as an extension of your IT department, providing expert advice and support. This approach ensures your business has access to the latest technologies and best practices without the overheads of expanding your in-house team.
