Microsoft empowers new era of work in Sri Lanka with secure technology

Microsoft Sri Lanka recently concluded a customer event on technology for managing hybrid workforces. 
The event showcased how Microsoft 365 products can empower teams, simplify IT management and reduce costs, all through Microsoft Azure and Cloud Cost optimisation to ‘Do More with Less’, to ensure an energised and safe hybrid workplace.

These Microsoft technologies have been designed to improve productivity and collaboration, catering to workers who have shown a preference for flexi-hours and hybrid working.
Organisations can benefit from the enhanced security stack of Microsoft 365 and Azure by embracing the zero-trust strategy, resulting in fewer security breaches and improved identity management.

Microsoft Intune, being a cloud-based endpoint management solution, allows organisations to manage user access, apps and devices in a simplified manner across many devices and virtual endpoints. Supporting the Zero Trust security model, Microsoft Intune has compliance and reporting features and enables protected access to data on organisation-owned and users’ personal devices. Further, Microsoft 365’s ability to automate labour-intensive IT tasks frees up IT and Security Admins for higher-value activities.

“For our customers, it is important that their workplace is focused, energised and empowered no matter where their teams are working from. Through Microsoft 365, we can provide a cloud-first experience that works better for today’s digitally connected and distributed workforce,” said Microsoft Country Manager for Sri Lanka and the Maldives Harsha Randeny. 

“With the growing preference towards a hybrid workplace environment by teams and employees, it is important for leaders to end productivity paranoia by helping their employees work on what’s important, build their careers and find purpose while helping the organisation thrive.”

Microsoft’s Annual Work Trend Index (WTI) Special Report released recently reveals that companies with a highly engaged workforce have better financial outcomes. Clear communications and goals unlock employee engagement. Tools such as Microsoft Viva, an integrated employee experience platform, offers tools to encourage connection, insight, purpose and growth.
With such tools and more, Microsoft 365 can redefine what a hybrid workplace means to leaders, teams and their organisations and build a workforce that is productive and collaborative in a secure environment.
