How can I get ModernWorkplace for my business?
ModernWorkplace can be purchased directly from Compupac.
Is there a cap to how many ModernWorkplace seats a customer can have?
Yes, customers can combine their ModernWorkplace subscriptions with plans and add-ons from Azure, Dynamics 365, Enterprise Mobility + Security, and Power Platform. You can also combine various ModernWorkplace plans.
Is everyone in my business required to have a ModernWorkplace subscription?
No, not everyone needs a ModernWorkplace subscription, although the security and management benefits are available only to those users with devices managed with a ModernWorkplace | Business or ModernWorkplace | Enterprise subscription.
Standardising an IT environment helps reduce maintenance and security costs over time and is a state that businesses should strive to attain. However, we recognise that some small and medium-sized customers update their software primarily when they upgrade their hardware, over an extended period. Businesses can deploy Premium to part of their organisation, but for best protection of sensitive business data and consistent collaboration experiences, deployment to all users is recommended.
How can I know if the hardware and software I run today is compatible with ModernWorkplace?
If the hardware you run today runs Windows 7 Pro or later, it likely meets the minimum requirements for ModernWorkplace. Certain Windows 10 features such as Cortana, Windows Hello, and multitouch require specific hardware that is only available on newer PCs. See the Windows 10 Pro system requirements for details.
Existing desktop application compatibility is strong in Windows 10, with most existing applications working without any changes. Customers and their trusted advisors should read the recommended application testing process for Windows 10 compatibility and review the Office system requirements to ensure a smooth transition to ModernWorkplace.
What is Windows 10 Business?
Windows 10 Business is a set of cloud services and device management capabilities that complement Windows 10 Pro and enable the centralised management and security controls of ModernWorkplace.
Windows 10 Business also comes with certain premium Microsoft Defender features like Controlled Folder Access and Network Protection for web-based threats. It also includes Windows AutoPilot, a service that streamlines the deployment of new Windows 10 PCs.
If you have devices that are licensed for Windows 8 Professional, and 8.1 Professional, Microsoft 365 Business Premium provides an upgrade to Windows 10 Pro, which is the prerequisite for deploying Windows 10 Business.
Important
You need to supply the original product key when you upgrade, otherwise the upgrade won’t work.
How does ModernWorkplace help support our Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policy?
Many employees prefer to use their own mobile phones or tablets to access personal and work information rather than carrying multiple devices for each purpose. The use of personal devices for work, while commonplace, increases the risk that business information could end up in the wrong hands. Many competing mobile data protection solutions require users to switch to a specific mode on their device or use another complex mechanism that users may find intrusive and therefore avoid using.
Modern Workplace offers customers a simple but powerful means of enabling employees to use their personal devices for work while providing the business with the ability to prevent those devices from accessing, retaining, and/or sharing business information.
How does ModernWorkplace help protect PCs in my organisation from malicious attacks?
PCs managed with ModernWorkplace | Business or ModernWorkplace | Enterprise are protected with Microsoft Defender Antivirus, which is the No. 1 antivirus feature on Windows 10, protecting more computers against viruses, malware, spyware, and other threats than any other solution. With Microsoft 365 Business Premium, organizations can ensure that Microsoft Defender Antivirus protection is running and always up to date on all their Windows 10 devices.
Windows 10 Business also includes Microsoft Defender Exploit Guard, a new set of intrusion prevention capabilities. One of its features, controlled folder access, stops ransomware by locking down folders and preventing unauthorized apps from accessing a user’s important files.
Can I switch my Office 365 plan to ModernWorkplace?
Yes, customers may switch their plans from a qualifying Office 365 plan to ModernWorkplace. Depending on the customer’s current plan, there may be a decrease or increase in monthly charges.
