Microsoft has been an office staple for decades, and as the pressure on organisations to do more, faster has increased, they’ve stepped up. A Forrester report reveals that the Microsoft Surface range is a game-changer, delivering a strong return on investment and a host of business benefits. We decided to investigate to find out what this means for you.

The Surface range of tablets and laptops relies on modern devices such as digital pens, touchscreens and removable keyboards to boost capabilities and enable users to work the way they like.

According to the Forrester report, not only does Surface add to the business value of Microsoft 365 in a big way, but it drives up ROI. The report analysed the outcomes when Microsoft 365 was implemented via Surface devices, and its findings were compelling.

Working with Microsoft 365 and Surface

A huge 80% of survey respondents indicated that, when used with Microsoft 365, Surface helped employees be more creative. Workers also reported gaining five hours in terms of weekly productivity. This alone suggests the Surface with Microsoft 365 is a force to be reckoned with.

Possibly the most transformative impact of the Surface range is its ability to boost collaboration between teams, whether they are dispersed remotely or office-based. It was reported that employees doubled their communication, information sharing and business productivity, and that saved mobile workers a whopping four hours per week – which translates to 11% of the working week.

The impressive stability of Surface resulted in 86% fewer password reset calls to the IT desk, freeing them up to focus on more important tasks, and overall Surface had fewer crashing incidences. Perhaps more impressive is that two-factor authentication, Advanced Threat Analytics, and Surface Enterprise Management Mode (SEMM) led to an 80% reduction in security breach remediation costs and cut the volume of breaches experienced annually in half.

Organisations streamlined creative tasks when employees used collaboration features in Skype, Microsoft Teams, and the creative features and capabilities of Surface and Microsoft 365 together, taking advantage of features such as Pen, Touch, Dial, 3D in PowerPoint. When comparing business leaders' decision-making times, those who used Microsoft 365 with the Surface range cut decision-making times down by 21%.

Key benefits

To summarise, using the Surface range in conjunction with Microsoft 365 has several benefits for businesses, such as:

• Reduced costs.
• Boosted employee productivity.
• Enhanced employee creativity, teamwork and mobility.
• Improved IT manageability.
• Improved security and compliance.
