Modern Workplace with Microsoft 365:
Empower Your Team, Anywhere, Anytime
In today’s competitive landscape—from Liverpool’s bustling docks to Cheshire’s industrial parks—your people are your greatest asset. Yet outdated email, clunky file-sharing and unmanaged devices slow them down. A Modern Workplace built on Microsoft 365 transforms your business by:
- Boosting collaboration with real-time editing, chat and video
- Securing data with identity-driven protections
- Simplifying IT through centralised management of apps and devices
- Enabling hybrid work so your team thrives in office, home or on the go
Below, we explain what a Modern Workplace really looks like, and how HiltDigital brings it to life—no technical jargon, just better outcomes.
What Is a Modern Workplace?
At its core, a Modern Workplace means your people have the right tools, on any device, wherever they work—and IT has the controls to keep everything running smoothly and securely. With Microsoft 365, you get:
- Professional email & calendar on your own domain
- Office apps (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) always up to date
- Teams for chat, calls & meetings
- OneDrive & SharePoint for file storage and collaboration
- Built-in security like multi-factor authentication (MFA) and data loss prevention
No more cobbling together free accounts or old-school file-shares. Everything’s managed, patched and backed up automatically.
Key Benefits for Liverpool & Cheshire SMEs
1. Seamless Collaboration
- Co-authoring in real time: Multiple users editing the same document without version chaos
- Persistent chat & channels: Keep project discussions organised in Teams, not buried in email threads
- Integrated meetings: Launch video calls from any chat or calendar invite
2. Robust Security by Design
- Identity-first protection: MFA and conditional access stop unauthorised logins at the door
- Data governance with Purview: Automatically classify sensitive files (e.g. customer data) and enforce policies—so compliance is never an afterthought (Learn more)
