ENABLE A MODERN WORKPLACE
Employees expect organisations to offer them modern, mobile ways to work. They’re frustrated by collaboration tools that don’t give them a consumer-like experience, such as the ones they enjoy with the apps and devices they use in their private lives.
Organisations have to deliver these swift, seamless workplace experiences, wherever their people want to work. But they also have to stay secure, and avoid endless low-value device management tasks that take up precious IT time.
A CLOUD-BASED SOLUTION, THAT REDUCES THE BURDEN ON IT TEAMS
Microsoft Managed Desktop makes things easier for the IT department. This cloud-based enterprise service automatically updates the software so it’s always up-to-date, while proactively improving security without draining IT resources.
Innovative device management checks the health of devices, while intelligent security monitors the environment and provides updates with minimal IT involvement. Quality and feature updates are also rolled out automatically. With Computacenter, IT leaders can extend similar capabilities and employee experiences to their entire mobile estate, even if these devices are not supported by Microsoft Managed Desktop.
Because the burden of day-to-day device management is lifted, IT can concentrate on game-changing projects that deliver real value for the organisation.
A FORRESTER STUDY1 FOUND ORGANISATIONS WITH MICROSOFT MANAGED DESKTOP EXPERIENCE:
- 50% fewer FTE hours required to maintain IT infrastructure.
- 35% reduction in help desk calls.

SECURITY YOU CAN TRUST
Organisations never compromise on security with Computacenter and Microsoft. Microsoft invests over $1billion each year on security2, and gathers insights from more than 700 million Windows 10 devices, meaning it has unrivalled insight into the fast-evolving security landscape.
But security doesn’t stop there. Microsoft Surface devices are pre-approved to meet robust security standards, and use advanced biometric authentication like Windows Hello, which uses fingerprint and facial recognition. Device health is monitored 24/7, with automatic updates deployed to every enterprise device as required.
“We felt that Microsoft had the best security out there. The cloud-based security, from our perspective, is more fully tested — and it has a greater breadth in capabilities than anything else out there.”
