Work smart
The smart workplace allows you to work anytime and anywhere. And enjoy online collaboration with colleagues and external parties. Attending a team meeting with your colleagues from home, working on a draft text in your hotel room and sharing it online... nothing stops you.
The workplace is set up for your role or function...
... providing you with all the applications and data you need to do your job. Without being distracted by unnecessary fuss. Or accessing something that is not intended for you.
Smart working from the portal or beyond
The portal allows you to access all apps and data from one clear home screen. It is also where you will find our handy IT Local apps that make your work even easier. You also start your organisation's traditional programmes (no cloud apps) from the portal and these work (via the optional VDI) quickly and smoothly. If, through your organisation, you also have your own laptop or desktop, you can also use the Microsoft 365 desktop apps with full functionality outside the portal.
The portal: all apps and data at your fingertips
Work safely
With the smart workplace, you do not need to worry about security or privacy. Your data is safely stored in the cloud. And the workplace, including data, applications and devices, is continuously secured.
Basic and additional security
You benefit from solid basic security from the Microsoft platform and additional security via our Essential security package, including Microsoft 365 backup, logging in via multi-factor authentication (MFA) and antivirus. Our management team ensures continuous monitoring and intervenes where necessary. You always work with the latest versions of applications and role-based access allows you to access only those data and apps that belong to your role.
Secure shared platform for VDI
Does your organisation work with our VDI solution? Then it is good to know that it runs on our secure shared platform. Where your data is stored in the Netherlands.
AVG, ISO...
... the smart workplace gives your organisation the tools it needs to comply with privacy legislation and the agreed standards and procedures.
Support at all times
Get a grip on costs
With the smart workplace, you pay for what you actually use and you are always in control of your costs. Instead of investing heavily in your own servers or management, you pay a fixed amount per month.
Save on your costs
Is your company expanding or shrinking? Then in terms of server capacity, the workplace moves easily and economically with you. Adding new apps and setting up workstations for new employees... that too can be done quickly and at low cost. And where heavy desktops were needed in the past, the smart workplace often enables your employees to work with their applications on lighter devices. That really saves you money! Because you have perfect insight into exactly who uses which applications and how often, you may even be able to save on your licence fees.
Do you opt for our optional VDI?
Then you pay a competitive price for it, because it runs on our own shared platform where you share your resources with multiple customers, without compromising on speed or security. Your data remains within the Netherlands.
Setting up together
Together, we choose the solution and ideal mix that best suits your organisation. Based on managed devices + portal and optional VDI for traditional applications. We ensure that all your employees have a suitable workplace, perfectly suited to their role or function.
The ideal mix
Employees with their own device (company laptop or desktop) have access to the desktop apps with full functionality. Employees who do not have their own device and probably make limited use of the workplace will soon be able to log in to the portal via their own account, where they will find the web version of the apps. This mix will save you costs!
VDI for smooth operation of legacy applications
Does your organisation work a lot with legacy applications (traditional applications that are important for your business operations, but not cloud-based)? Then we recommend our workplace with virtual desktop solution (VDI). With VDI, even your legacy apps work well and fast. We run the VDI in our own shared platform. This enables a quick response to issues. And it is a cost-effective solution, because on our platform you share resources with several customers, without making concessions on speed or security. Your data is stored in the Netherlands.
A smart workplace is a managed workplace
A workplace that runs like clockwork and continues to do so depends on good IT management: extensive monitoring, ensuring the latest updates, making backups and many other essential tasks. Not everyone has the right knowledge, time and tools for this. That is why we only offer our smart workplace if you let us take care of the management. Only then can we guarantee optimal and safe operation of the workplace. Of course, we also unburden you by outsourcing management. Also good to know: does your own hardware meet our management standard? Then we will manage it for you effortlessly (without high purchase costs for new hardware).
Windows operating system for seamless integration with Microsoft apps
Because our workplace is Microsoft-based, we can only manage it if you work with or are open to working with a Windows operating system. And that's a good idea anyway, because with Windows you benefit from seamless integration with Teams and, of course, with all other Microsoft apps. Unlike other operating systems, almost all business software works effortlessly on Windows. It is therefore the standard in the business market for good reason.
