Accelerate your digital workplace transformation

The transition to a modern workplace is an essential step in the quest to become a truly digital enterprise. Employees empowered to collaborate and work anywhere, anytime, on any device can significantly boost productivity. And the digital workplace is an essential recruiting tool, offering the consumer-like experience employees expect and want.

To deliver the experience employees want — and also meet business needs — many companies turn to products from Microsoft. Long the leader in office productivity solutions, Microsoft 365 delivers a suite of tools that employees can use on PCs and mobile devices (including iOS and Android), both reliably and securely.

As many companies have learned (or will soon discover), licensing the latest office productivity suite is just an opening move in the transition to a digital workplace. The digital workplace is about working in new, different, more efficient ways with workflows that are integrated

into business processes. Automation provides a boost by eliminating rote tasks once performed manually. The digital workplace offers improved security with strong identity and access management, plus threat protection for data, wherever it resides. It enables collaboration that transcends enterprise boundaries. In short, the transition to a digital workplace enables companies to accelerate their journey to becoming a truly digital organization.

Your unique transformation launch point

Here’s the other thing about transforming the workplace. Unless you’re a true startup, you won’t have the luxury of starting from a blank sheet of paper. Plus, there’s no point-and-click solution that will instantly transform what you have into the digital workplace of the future. Although admittedly, that would be nice.

Instead, most companies follow an evolutionary path from where they are to where they want and need to be.

DXC Technology’s extensive work with clients has brought to light issues that many companies struggle with as they make plans for a digital workplace — or worse, while they’re in the middle of a transformation. For example:

• Proper implementation of Azure Active Directory

• Overlapping licenses and licenses for unused products

• Lack of change management to address revisions to the user experience

We have found that understanding the relative strengths and potential gaps of the Microsoft ecosystem is essential if a company hopes to create a truly comprehensive digital workplace. Users typically need extensive support to help them get the value from their organization’s technology investments. For example, many companies supplement their digital workplace solution with robust virtual desktop and application capabilities. Assistance in identifying, acquiring and integrating these additional features and solutions can help you create a ssuccessful digital workplace transformation plan.

Get there faster, for less

When you begin looking at the total picture, the transformation process requires more planning time and expertise than you might have thought, especially at the outset. But that doesn’t mean your journey has to be more complex, take longer or incur more expense than you planned. We offer the experience, speed and total solution to help your digital workplace transformation go smoothly and quickly, deliver the results you expect and lower your overall transformation cost.

Experience

As a global systems integrator, DXC Technology has performed more successful digital workplace transformations for enterprises than any other vendor. In fact, a recent study revealed that DXC is by far the market share leader in next-generation workplace services.1

DXC was the first system integrator to deploy ongoing application and hardware support services for Microsoft’s Windows as a service, and we are a pioneer in implementing modern management of Windows 10 (see sidebar). We’ve learned what isn’t found in the manual. That means you won’t need to deal with the lost time, expense and headaches of rediscovering issues we’ve already solved.

For example, a global manufacturing company wanted to fully move to a cloud-based infrastructure with no on-premises IT infrastructure. At the same time, it wanted to move users to a consumer-like mobile workplace. DXC helped the company move nearly all of its 18,000 users to Windows 10 and a fully converged modern management environment based on Intune that covers PCs and mobile devices. The solution also included DXC Software Licensing and Management Solutions for Microsoft and non-Microsoft software subscriptions. This was one of the first complex enterprises to fully move to converged modern management, and DXC uncovered many lessons that we fed to Microsoft to help it improve its modern management environment.

Speed and success

Transformations need to be measured not only by speed but by how well they succeed. After all, the money you spent to give everyone a new laptop and the latest software means nothing if you find people plunking away on their old computers two weeks later because they “couldn’t get the hang of” the new systems.

DXC consultants and workshops bring your transformation vision into the real world. We help you implement technology effectively and help your employees use the technologies to transform the way they work. Because DXC has completed many transformations in organizations and industries of various sizes, we have the experience to make sure your enterprise realizes the benefits of a successful digital workplace transformation much faster than the do-it-yourself approach.

Modern management: A key element of the digital workplaceFrom a device and user perspective, the digital workplace is “mobile first,” with a heavy emphasis on user experience. Modern workplace management — also known as “modern management,” a term coined by Microsoft — enables this essential aspect of the digital workplace.

Most of a company’s applications and services reside in the cloud, with minimum on-premises infrastructure or reliance on traditional domain authentication. Cloud-based enterprise mobility management tools oversee both mobile and desktop devices, providing users with the flexibility to use whatever device is most convenient at a particular moment or location.

Modern management transforms how workers use and manage devices. Work that begins on one device can be taken up easily on a different device in a different location. Even when users upgrade, they have instant access to applications and data, just like the smartphone “upgrade” experience. Similarly, application and OS updates take place automatically and without the difficulty employees might remember from past OS migrations.

The result is a consumer-like experience users have come to expect, along with a boost in productivity that enables them to focus on getting work done instead of planning how to coordinate work between devices and locations.
