Achieving a Modern Workplace and Security with Office365
How third-party applications can be replaced and costs saved with Office365 and Intune was demonstrated by representatives of Microsoft Switzerland and Nomasis at an event at Microsoft in Wallisellen. Mobile and secure working with solutions from a single source should bring about a change in thinking among IT managers and specialist departments.
Increasingly, representatives of business departments as well as IT and security managers tend to consolidate third-party apps and management solutions. Particularly with the goal of a "mobile first / cloud first" strategy, it makes sense for many applications to replace software licenses with apps already included in enterprise packages from Office365 and to benefit from cost reductions in the process. In addition, concentrating on one vendor also brings technical advantages, as Office 365 apps on cell phones and smartphones can be better integrated with Microsoft's Intune app management solution. Meanwhile, Microsoft representative Alexandra Stritt, who opened the event, made it clear that realizing the modern, mobile, cloud-based workplace requires an integration partner with the appropriate know-how in addition to the products: "Nomasis, as one of our important Swiss partners in the provision of secure mobile applications and services for companies, makes an important contribution to meeting individual customer requirements with its consulting and support services."
At the event, representatives from Nomasis also showed which concrete tools from the areas of web conferencing, file sharing, instant messaging, etc. can be replaced by apps from Office365 and how Microsoft's EM+S suite (Enterprise Mobility + Security) with its Azure database and security services as well as Intune can replace conventional solutions for mobile device and mobile app management. Not to mention that there are hardly any viable alternatives on smartphones for certain apps, such as the Teams chat application or the One Note digital notepad. To make the implementation of mobile devices as easy as possible, Nomasis recommends a service consisting of best practices, tools, resources and experts specialized in the topic. Indeed, a thorough analysis of the situation is required before EM+S can be introduced. For example, it must be clarified what exactly the enterprise mobility management solution currently in use is being used for and how the new system from Microsoft can be integrated into the manufacturer's existing 0n premise and cloud services. In addition, proof of feasibility is also required before the migration can be put into practice and the benefits mentioned can be enjoyed.
