Here are some best practices to help your customers future proof their business with the powerful combination of HP with Windows 11 and TD SYNNEX.
1. Assess business needs and objectives
Our TD SYNNEX specialist team can help you to identify the key areas where HP PCs with Windows 11 will have the most impact. Whether it’s improving team collaboration, enhancing security measures, streamlining IT operations or optimizing workflows, understanding the business goals will help us to navigate the integration process effectively.
2. Plan a phased rollout
When helping a business fully migrate to new devices, implementing a phased rollout strategy can minimise disruptions and allow for a smoother transition. Start with a pilot group to test the new system, gather feedback, and make necessary adjustments. Once the pilot phase is successful, gradually expand the rollout to the entire organisation. This approach ensures that any potential issues are identified and resolved early on.
3. Leverage Windows 11’s productivity features
Take full advantage of HP with Windows 11’s productivity features to enhance efficiency across a business. Utilize Snap Layouts and Snap Groups to improve multitasking and window management. Encourage the use of virtual desktops to keep workspaces organised and reduce clutter. Integrating Microsoft Teams directly into the taskbar can streamline communication and collaboration within the team.
4. Transforming meeting spaces with Poly Studio Solutions
Enhance collaboration in hybrid work settings, by providing a range of Microsoft certified conference room solutions and headsets. These devices feature the latest AI innovations, ensuring that participants are seen and heard clearly, whether in small or large meeting rooms. HP’s comprehensive approach, from AI-powered PCs to enhanced security and collaboration tools, represents a significant step towards creating a more connected, productive, and enjoyable work experience.
5. Enhance security with advanced features
Security is paramount in today’s digital world. Windows 11 comes equipped with advanced security features such as Windows Defender, which provides real-time protection against cyber threats. The HP Elite and ProBook notebooks, along with Z by HP workstations, come equipped with HP Wolf Security for Business, ensuring data protection across various working environments. Moreover, the HP AI creation center, including the HP AI Studio, provides robust solutions for data scientists, facilitating the development and scaling of AI projects from workstations to cloud environments.
Additionally, HP’s hardware-based security solutions, like HP Sure Start and HP Sure Click, offer robust protection at the BIOS and web levels. Regularly update systems to ensure all security patches and firmware updates are applied promptly.
6. Integrate AI capabilities with Copilot
Windows 11’s Copilot, an AI-powered assistant, can revolutionize how businesses handle routine tasks and workflows. Encourage the team to use Copilot for scheduling meetings, managing emails, and setting reminders. The integration with Microsoft 365 allows Copilot to provide personalized assistance, automate repetitive tasks, and offer insightful productivity recommendations, thereby freeing up time for more strategic activities.
Business leaders’ critical role is clear: to educate their employees on the possibilities of AI – and take the lead on effectively introducing it. – The Work Relationship Index, HP
