Insentra has developed four core pillars of MWP to which each service we develop adheres to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Security<\/li>\n<li>Innovation<\/li>\n<li>Choice<\/li>\n<li>Efficiency<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Driving these outcomes in a business environment can mean different things to different people. By focusing on these during a transformation project we can help establish this sort of culture moving forward in business, effectively changing perspective on end-user computing from the top down.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Security<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Attackers are getting smarter, but so is the technology and methodologies for defence. Moving to the public cloud does not have to be a scary security experience, rather we are advocating it is more secure in most circumstances if implemented properly and with the correct security in place.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Innovation <\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Innovation for the MWP comes in two forms:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Innovation in technology \u2013 What technology are you deploying to the workforce?<\/li>\n<li>Innovation you empower others to undertake \u2013 where will the next big innovation come from?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The second one is the most powerful \u2013 the next big drive in innovation may not come from IT. This means the tools, infrastructure and freedom we allow users to possess and encourage them to use could be drivers of efficiency changes \u2013 with the proper governance and training in place, of course!<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Choice <\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Choice, which has so many facets in MWP, why is this so important? Choice is not just giving users choices in how, when and where they work, although this is important, it is empowering choice in your business as well, this should also enable flexibility. Giving decision-makers in business options when thinking about how technology could innovate business processes and increase productivity whilst realising efficiency gains and associated cost savings.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Efficiency <\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>This is an easy one, drive efficient outcomes for the business which improve the bottom line. Across the board. Users are more productive when working in an environment which works, fosters collaboration and teamwork and on a device, they know and love. It\u2019s not just efficiency for users however, IT will be more efficient and business processes will see improvement as well.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-bottom: 15px; margin-bottom: 30px; margin-top: 40px; border-bottom: 1px solid #f16020;\">HOW \u2013 DEFINING THE PROCESS<\/h3>\n<p>The art of the possible \u2013 defining what you can realistically achieve in a digital transformation \u2013 needs consideration from someone who knows how the process works and can architect a roadmap which achieves business goals, not just technical ones. We are not redefining the wheel here, we have just spread our solutions into three buckets, which help us define what stage of the journey we are at:<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Discover<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>We have developed our Architect as a Service (MapOne) engagement to spearhead the conversation around the art of the possible from a business level. Targeted at CIO\u2019s and senior leadership, this short, sharp, high-value engagement helps discover and understand your IT with topics such as time to value and cost of inaction front of mind. The output is a roadmap for your transformation.<\/p>\n<p>Hop on over and read the blogs around this engagement <a href=\"https:\/\/www.insentragroup.com\/au\/insights\/geek-speak\/modern-workplace\/mapone-part-1-gain-the-clarity-required-to-make-inspired-decisions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a> to find out more.<\/p>\n<p>Not every engagement needs this level of detail, however, Architect as a Service (MapOne) has been successful in driving business buy-in to transformation. Sometimes the discovery phase is overlooked, and a reactive project is undertaken to solve a critical requirement &#8211; such as an end of life, or security risk. These projects generally work ok, but don\u2019t drive the outcomes that help a business drive the \u201cWhy\u201d.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Transform<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Transformation in this context is around the actual work to get you to the value outlined in the discovery phase. It could focus on a single item, say, Identity, or an entire program of work. The output from the discovery phase for most businesses is a phased approach to the transformation which will usually last anywhere from a fiscal quarter to a year or more.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Continuous Improvement<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>This phase is about changing the paradigm for transformation from doing a project and saying goodbye, to moving to a continuous improvement model to help adapt and improve services as they go through their life cycle.<\/p>\n<p>An example of this is SharePoint, Teams and OneDrive. Once implemented things can spiral out of control from internal sharing, unrestricted creation and more issues which aren\u2019t easily resolved. A governance layer or service which makes sure the product or products are used within set parameters during the project is more than likely a good idea and is often required for compliance purposes.<\/p>\n<p>We offer <a href=\"\/nz\/services\/managed-services\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">managed services<\/a> around all our solutions which not only keep the lights on but focus on developing the service to a higher standard, such as running a monthly architecture session to help keep the focus on improvement as you progress in your adoption.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Adoption, Change and Project Management<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>These three services underpin all our professional and managed services engagements, every transformation project needs all three to be successful \u2013 yes, even project management! Without these services, we find a project will only achieve partial transformation because buy-in from the business hasn\u2019t been properly planned for and considered.<\/p>\n<p>This comes back to empowering users, this time with knowledge so they can best use these amazing new tools and concepts to the best of their ability.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-bottom: 15px; margin-bottom: 30px; margin-top: 40px; border-bottom: 1px solid #f16020;\">WHEN<\/h3>\n<p>So, the MWP is a great new place to be \u2013 and the benefits are real and easy to quantify. Organisational change takes time and as we have discovered, takes effective planning.<\/p>\n<p>You may already be on your journey \u2013 which is excellent! We can and have assisted lots of customers at all stages of their journeys. It\u2019s important to remember the discovery phase will address prioritisation of work based on business criticality and give you a measurable roadmap to transformation \u2013 a lot of the time, this will start with identity and security so the foundation is correct for the rest of the transformation.<\/p>\n<p>Get in touch to start your journey!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WHY IMPLEMENT MODERN WORKPLACE What does the implementation of MWP mean for a business?
