Secure the remote workforce with Microsoft 365 Business Premium

The IT landscape is constantly evolving and adapting to new conditions. The primary need that has been monopolizing the interest of small and medium-sized enterprises for the last year is how to ensure business continuity, when all their staff work remotely. What is more, often enough part of the staff uses devices that have not been approved by the organization, such as personal laptops or tablets.

In particular, the increasing use of non-corporate devices has become even more pronounced during the first round of lockdowns all over the world where no organization was sufficiently equipped to supply their personnel with portable devices (laptops).

Today there are multiple solutions out there. But can they ensure business continuity in a safe way without impacting the ability of company departments to work together in an orderly manner?
