In today’s fast-paced businesses, it feels like there is a new technology, app or system getting implemented at a rapid rate on a daily basis. On many occasions the new technology is integrated with existing or legacy IT to create what is now referred to as ‘hybrid environments’. This constant addition of new tech and layering of systems makes it challenging for teams to keep up with the latest way of working, and often acts more as a distraction and slows their workflow.

A digital workplace provides your teams centralised access to all your necessary applications, company information, and personal documents. It integrates everything into one interface, seamlessly connecting legacy and cloud applications to enhance collaboration and create a unified digital experience.

With a digital workspace, your team can access your apps, tools and data from anywhere, at any time, and on any device.

![#labdesk-ws365-mockup-7-background-1](https://labdesk.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/%23labdesk-ws365-mockup-7-background-1.jpg?width=800&height=507&name=%23labdesk-ws365-mockup-7-background-1.jpg)

## Why do you need one, and what problem does it solve?

The IT landscape is overwhelming and complex: With an influx of applications, notifications, information scattered around.

In today’s fast-paced digital world, the ability to concentrate and unlock work focus is a superpower for employees.

Simplifying this environment is the key to helping employees harness their full potential.

## What can a ‘digital workspace’ do?

**Simplified Access…**

- Centralise access to all your apps ie. Microsoft, Citrix, VMware
- Leverage conditions to give access to the right apps and information
- Streamline access to all documents, emails, appointment and contacts

**Simplified Communication…**

- Updates and maintenance for all apps
- Company information through announcements in one view
- Master knowledge within different teams and offices through the Knowledge base
- Share and attend events on both team and company level

**Simplified Workflows…**

- Provide approvals and updates in one overview
- Smart Global Search
- Open AI to connect all apps to a single interface

## How can your teams benefit from a ‘Digital workspace’?

A workspace can benefit all teams and roles across a business to support and accelerate the work they do – here are some teams and the benefits they will see by leveraging the power of a digital workspace:

**HR, People & Culture Teams**

- Enhanced onboarding/offboarding
- Improved engagement tools
- Foster collaboration
- Promote the company culture
- Create autonomous teams

**Internal Comms**

- Unified communication
- Collaboration features
- Role base content targeting

**IT & Information Management & Teams**

- Seamless integrations
- Digital transformation
- Improve DEX (Digital Employee Experience)
- Aggregate data flow from any application
- Improve document management
- Maximise the value of your Microsoft stack

## A workspace can remove the pain often felt with Hybrid environments

A workspace can focus on IT delivery and connects legacy systems with the cloud, making hybrid work without IT frustration the new normal. With this new way of working, you increase user productivity, regardless of time or location. With a range of tools such as Azure Virtual Desktop, Office 365, Citrix, Clientless RDP, Fileserver, VMware, and Liquit, a workspace offers flexibility and efficiency without compromising security.

## Boost team engagement with technology

A digital workspace boosts engagement and ensures that employees stay connected, no matter where they are or what they are doing. Providing information flows, centrally, both from the organisation to employees and vice versa, and among employees – this all contributes to a high level of engagement. Users can benefit from various functionalities, such as Events, Announcements, a Knowledge Base, Teams, RSS, Birthday, Yammer, Managed Signature, To-Do, SharePoint Integration, an Address Book Centre, People, Contacts – and even YouTube. This wide range of possibilities strengthens the bond between employees and promotes effective information sharing and collaboration.

## Bring together your systems and data

A digital workspace brings together all information sources, business data, micro-apps, and integrations into one friendly interface. This simplifies information flows, increases employee efficiency, and provides easy access to relevant information.

## What are the main features of a quality digital workspace?

**App Management**  
Set up a workspace in minutes. A workspace also simplifies work for people who manage the workspace. Enabling you to create a role and condition-based workspace that combines all your current and future technologies in one workspace.

**Communication**  
Show information from applications directly in labdesk workspace. All your unread emails, appointments, recently edited documents, feeds, news, statistics from any application, and more at a glance on any device.

**Document management**  
Bring all documents together in one online workspace. This way you can work on and offline from any device. The document app combines and brings structure to Office 365, the file server, OneDrive, SharePoint + Azure

**Single Sign-On**  
Log-in once to your web and hosted applications. Single Sign-On makes it possible to reach both web and Windows applications with just one click, without having to log in separately for each application.

**Remote Desktop Apps**  
Many companies want to transition to the cloud, but still have to deal with legacy (Windows) applications. Bring them together into an adaptive workspace, so you can simply access all your local, web and Windows applications in one portal.

**Micro Apps**  
With labdesk workspace Micro Apps you can simplify and automate any process. All data is organised, so you can quickly find information. For example, your projects, activities or data for day-to-day workloads.
