Microsoft 365 Modern Work
We manage and secure Microsoft 365. You keep working. The modern workplace, from setup to day-to-day management. More than 420 SMEs have gone before you.
Monday morning: a new colleague starts
One managed work environment, nothing to worry about
Modern Work is not a standalone licence but a complete service: we set everything up properly, manage every laptop and keep security, updates and back-ups at standard according to our Modern Work Baseline.
Every laptop in view
Windows and Mac managed centrally. Updates, security and apps: the same everywhere, in order everywhere.
Out of the box, ready to go
A new laptop sets itself up. No waiting day, no manual work, no IT person who has to come by.
Security to current standards
Secure sign-in, protection against phishing and only trusted devices accessing your data.
Always up to date
Windows, Office and your apps are updated automatically and in phases in the background, without you having to restart at an awkward moment.
Onboarding and offboarding sorted
New colleagues productive quickly. Departing colleagues closed off promptly and properly.
Microsoft 365 back-up
Daily back-up of mail, files and Teams. Worth knowing: Microsoft does not arrange this for you by default.
Sorted in three steps
We get to know you
In a no-obligation consultation we map out your situation and needs. Honest advice — even if that means “keep it as it is”.
We sort it out
We set everything up and guide the switch step by step. Our goal: you simply keep working.
You work, we manage
Updates, security and backups run in the background. A question or issue? One call to your dedicated team.
