Best Microsoft Surface devices on sale now: Surface Pro 7, Laptop 3, Go 2, Headphones 2
In today’s climate, our homes are doubling up as our offices, and it’s likely to last that way until the pandemic is over or when the vaccination drive takes place.
According to a survey by Enterprise Technology Research, the percentage of workers around the world expected to work from home is said to double.
With that in mind, setting up our home office is crucial for peak productivity, and that includes having the right monitors, laptops and hybrid tablets at hand.
Microsoft found four key learnings during customer conversations and from research:
The future of working and learning is hybrid and requires more flexibility: Views on remote work have changed, 82% of managers say they will have more flexible work from home policies post pandemic, and 71% of employees want to continue work from home at least part time. People are sharing spaces throughout their home and are moving locations more throughout their days to stay productive and accommodate others.
Connectivity is critical to uninterrupted business operations: With multiple people in a household now connecting from home, it is putting a strain on bandwidth - where people are using their cell phones more often as hot spots for online meetings due to poor internet connectivity.
Camera to camera is the new face to face: Microsoft has learnt through research that people are feeling more empathetic to one another now, and through the lens of a video call they have a better view of life at home and even feel more valued and included as a remote contributor in meetings with everyone being in the same virtual room.
End to end security from chip to cloud is more critical than ever before: Organizations need their data and workflows to be secure to enable remote and hybrid work. Devices need end to end security features to enable the productivity needed to maintain business continuity.
Microsoft has introduced a couple of Surface devices both for commercial and education customers in Singapore to support business productivity and continuity in remote and hybrid working environments.
As part of their Lunar New Year campaign, Microsoft is giving us up to 20% savings on Surface devices and more!
