The modern work world is developing rapidly. The last few months, in particular, have brought far-reaching changes, which will also be noticeable after Corona: Flexible working with mobile devices is becoming the new norm – and is challenging IT departments. Microsoft’s cloud-based solutions help companies in this respect and enable efficient work from any location and, of course, to integrate the desktop they already use. But there are many things to consider when introducing these technologies.
That’s why EBF offers various consulting packages – both for companies already using Microsoft Cloud Services and for those planning to use them. In this way, risks during implementation can be minimized and projects to realize a digital, mobile workplace can be successfully and quickly implemented.
What is Microsoft Enterprise Mobility + Security?
The Microsoft Enterprise Mobility + Security platform (EM+S) includes a broad range of solutions that support companies in implementing IT security, data protection, and compliance and enables smooth mobile work processes. The platform includes components for identity and access management, information protection and threat prevention, and security management. The individual components interact seamlessly, complement each other optimally, and can be selected and combined as required – provided that the implementation is successful.
What needs to be considered when using Micrsoft?
The Microsoft cloud offers companies a comprehensive range of solutions and services. Yet it can often be challenging to identify which licenses or which license packages are needed to use the selected services and features. Selecting the right license package is critical. We show you which Microsoft licenses you already have and which additional licensing you need to use Microsoft Enterprise Mobility + Security.
What are the challenges?
Device and operating system landscapes are complex, security requirements are high, threats are growing and the expectations of users regarding usability are constantly increasing. Many factors must therefore be taken into account before the technologies of the Microsoft Enterprise Mobility + Security platform are deployed. We combine our many years of expertise in the field of Enterprise Mobility with our Microsoft know-how and can thus help companies to get the best out of Microsoft technologies and make modern work fast, easy and secure.
Our consulting packages
Opportunity Assessment
- To prepare you for an EM+S/Microsoft Endpoint Manager implementation, we work with you to define your Mobile Enterprise Strategy, while drawing on experience from other customer projects.
- Next, we analyze the status quo of your current UEM system and your user needs and show you the opportunities EM+S/Microsoft Endpoint Manager offers.
- Building on this, we create a requirements catalog and provide you with recommendations for implementation. We not only focus on the connection of (mobile) end devices to the Endpoint Manager, but also show how other systems, such as certificate systems or Exchange, can be optimally connected.
- For businesses already using a Microsoft cloud presence such as Office365, we additionally determine the maturity of the existing Microsoft environment and look at what other components are required for a switch to EM+S.
Design IT
- We convert the results of the Opportunity Assessment into a technical concept and plan the rollout. Here we take into account the settings of your existing UEM system and integrate new requirements if desired.
- If a migration from the old to the new system is necessary, we develop a concept for this and record the necessary steps in a detailed project plan.
Proof IT
- We set up the Microsoft environment for you on the basis of the technical concept, taking into account all the settings required for acceptance.
- Next, we conduct various acceptance tests, document them and hand over the documentation to you as a decision-making reference.
- We then prepare the rollout and test the migration of some devices, if required.
Do IT
- Together with you, we finalize the productive Microsoft environment with all settings of the technical concept – taking into account all the dependencies. We ensure reliable quality assurance and perform documented acceptance tests again throughout the entire process.
- We then accompany the rollout and carry it out seamlessly. Workshops with different user groups as well as user and admin guides ensure a smooth implementation.
- In case a migration is necessary, we prepare it and plan and support the rollout in the same way.
Run IT
- We do not leave you alone after the implementation of EM+S/Microsoft Endpoint Manager. Comprehensive operational support and support packages complete our range of services. If desired, we also take over the support of the entire environment as a "Managed Service Provider". You can concentrate on the use – we take care of the administration and support.
Feel free to contact us if we can assist you in implementing Microsoft technologies. Thanks to our knowledge and experience, we can help you achieve maximum productivity – with clear adherence to security and compliance requirements.
