BEYOND ERP
Digital Workplace
Providing employees with a digital workplace plays a major role in a company’s digital transformation. Alongside the necessary technical expertise, it demands a culture change within the organisation. Syntax guides its customers on their journey into a new digital world, supporting them with planning, implementation and day-to-day operations.
Why the digital workplace is so important
The digital era is making new requirements of the working environment with the advent of new models such as remote offices and working from home. While there is no clear definition of what constitutes a digital workplace, there are some fundamental elements common to all modern-day working spaces. A dynamic corporate environment is built around flexibility and mobility. Workers expect simple ways of communicating and collaborating with their colleagues and teams via platforms and services in the cloud, which they want to be able to access anywhere, from any device, at any time. Enterprises that are slow to embrace the digital workplace transformation will quickly lose out in the struggle to retain talent.

FAQ: Digital Workplace
What is special about a digital workplace?
When planning and implementing a digital workplace as part of your digital transformation, you need to focus on three key aspects:
- Flexibility and mobility: A digital workplace that provides all solutions and services flexibly through the cloud enables every user to work independently and creatively, wherever they are located, whatever device they are using, and at any time of the day or night.
- Modern collaboration: Using digital applications to work together is a core element of the digital workplace and makes it possible to share information efficiently, with functions such as screen sharing, online meetings and real-time editing of documents and data by multiple users.
- Culture change: To get the most efficient and productive results from the digital workplace, businesses must foster an engaged and open culture that supports modern ways of working. This means providing employees with training in how to use the relevant tools.
What is hybrid work?
Even before the pandemic, there was a clear trend in favour of working online. Employees are looking for the perfect balance between working remotely and spending time in the office. They want to be flexible to decide for themselves which tasks they can do remotely while retaining the option for in-person meetings with the rest of their team when necessary. Combining these two environments is the challenge for the modern digital workplace.
