Microsoft introduced the UAE’s SME segment to Microsoft 365 Business, a multifaceted solution that ushers them into the modern workplace era by covering all of their productivity, admin and security needs.
Combining Windows 10 Pro and Office 365 with Enterprise Mobility and Security, Microsoft 365 Business is a new solution designed for SMEs bringing together the productivity and collaboration capabilities with device management and security solutions to safeguard business data.
“SMEs in this country have a prime opportunity to capitalise on projected growth, through the digitally transformative power of Microsoft 365 Business. The solution is purpose-built for growing small and medium businesses to help them to empower their people, safeguard their data and simplify IT management, leaving them with more time and resources to innovate and focus on their core business” said Mohammed Arif, Regional Director, Microsoft 365 Business Group, Microsoft Gulf.
Microsoft 365 Business is an integrated security, management and productivity solution that allows businesses to protect mission-critical operations while empowering employees to be mobile and collaborative. Smooth interaction between Office 365, Windows 10 Pro, and Microsoft’s device-management and security tools, creates a truly modern workplace, means employees can work whenever, wherever and however they want. And communication and connectivity tools allow meaningful collaboration in real time.
Also added to the offerings is the Microsoft StaffHub, a new application that helps first-line workers manage their work day, allowing business owners and employees to easily create and manage schedules, assign and complete tasks, and communicate with one another.
“Small businesses are particularly vulnerable to the impacts of security breaches,” said Arif. “They cannot bounce back from downtime or data theft the way a Fortune-500 company can. That is why Microsoft took care to include some of our most advanced, industry-leading security features in Microsoft 365 Business – so SMEs can concentrate on growth without worrying about the treacherous cyber-threat landscape.”
