To capitalize on the benefits of a mobile workforce, there are some key questions businesses are asking today.

In this article, we’ll cover three key areas:

In part one of this article, I discussed much more on office 365 as a tool to keep your business on the go wherever you are and your teams connected always whether in office or at their comfort of their home couch. What I call “ Business on-the-go “

Introduction to ModernBiz

2. Solutions to real challenges businesses like yours face today. We’ll look at how often technologies you may already know can be used to your advantage.

Today, we all want more flexibility to get our work done wherever we need to be, whether in the office, at home, or on the road. To capitalize on the benefits of a mobile workforce, there are some key questions businesses are asking today:

* With employees increasingly working outside the office, how can I give them the tools they need to be productive?

* And as they use a growing range of mobile devices to do that work-from PCs, to laptops, to tablets and convertibles- how can they stay productive as they move from one device to the other?

* With employees working in different locations, how do we provide the tools for them to work together?

* And how do I keep company data protected after it walks out the door?

It’s all about how you can have everything your employees need to get their jobs done from wherever they need to be. Whether they need to get to their latest files and applications, or connect with their team. Microsoft offers a flexible, familiar platform that offers the best of mobile productivity, combined with the protection and control your business needs.

The tools you need to do your best work anywhere

With solutions built on Microsoft products and technologies, you can:

• Have all the tools you need to do your best work anywhere
• Get a familiar experience across PCs and mobile devices
• Connect with your team and work together, wherever you are
• Protect your business data, wherever it goes

There are a number of ways Microsoft technologies can help you keep your mobile workforce productive:

Connect with your team and work together anywhere

1. Get your familiar Office experience across devices-Windows, iOS, or Android-with Office 365 and Office Online.
2. Easily access and work on your latest files with OneDrive for Business in Office 365, and access the latest customer data with Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online.
3. Get more done with modern Windows 10 PCs that offer faster boot times compared to Windows 7, improved responsiveness, and the Battery Saver feature, which is designed to provide longer battery life.

Access business applications hosted in the cloud-like CRM, finance, or HR apps-on any device using Azure RemoteApp.

63% of businesses say that mobility is helping increase the efficiency of their business processes and, with increased mobility, businesses need to ensure their teams can work together from anywhere.

Protect your data wherever it goes

1. Schedule meetings with Office 365 and connect in real-time with online video conferencing using Skype for Business.
2. Work together simultaneously to edit documents in real-time using Office Online in a browser or with the full experience of Office desktop apps.
3. Stay “in the know” and easily share data and insights with consistent, interactive dashboards and reports using Power BI on mobile devices.
4. Keep in touch with your team by easily creating private social networks using Yammer to stay connected and make faster, better-informed decisions.

Why Microsoft for empowering your mobile workforce?

This is a common concern as only 16% of businesses are fully prepared to handle mobility security challenges ( TechAisle). The majority of employees today are accessing data on mobile devices:

1. Easily get control of your business data across personal and company-issued mobile devices with tools built into Office 365, Windows 10, and Enterprise Mobility Suite (EMS).
2. Provide employees a simpler, more consistent way to access all their applications, websites, and devices with a single sign-on using Enterprise Mobility Suite (EMS).
3. Easily attach encryption and rights management rules to business data to help prevent unauthorized access and use, with Enterprise Mobility Suite (EMS) and Enterprise Data Protection in Windows 10.

With Microsoft, you get familiar mobile productivity combined with simplified management, protection, and control:

* Easy protection and control: Only Microsoft provides a single suite that makes it easy to help protect sensitive data, enable secured access, and manage mobile devices, while giving your employees the freedom to work where they want.

• Familiar tools: Connect and empower your mobile employees with familiar, integrated tools-like Office, the number one most-used productivity software in the world-to make working together a seamless part of your day-to-day experience, wherever you are, online or offline.

Next steps.

And with Microsoft, it’s all built- in and designed to work together in a complete platform that includes applications, mobile devices, management tools, and seamless secured access across all of it.
