Microsoft Modern Workplace solutions that fix disconnected systems and wasted time

The Problem

Your team shouldn't waste half their day hunting for files across different systems, asking "is this the latest version?", or waiting for IT to fix access problems. When your email, file storage, and communication tools don't work together properly, every simple task takes longer than it should and remote working becomes a daily frustration.

The Solution

At Apex, we implement Microsoft Modern Workplace properly so your systems actually work together. We bring your Microsoft 365, SharePoint, Teams, and Azure into one integrated system with ongoing management that keeps everything running smoothly without constant IT support calls.

How Microsoft Modern Workplace Improves Your Business Operations

When your Microsoft systems actually work together properly, your team wastes less time, your IT costs less, and your data stays secure. Here's what changes when Apex manages your Microsoft Modern Workplace.

Work From Anywhere Without Security Compromises

Microsoft Modern Workplace lets your team access everything they need from any location without creating security holes. Staff work from the office, home, or client sites using the same secure systems with proper access controls.

Stop Paying for Systems That Don't Work Together

When your email, file storage, and communication tools come from different providers, you pay for integrations that break, duplicate storage costs, and IT time fixing connection problems. Modern Workplace brings everything into one properly integrated Microsoft ecosystem.

Find Files in Seconds Instead of Hours

SharePoint and OneDrive give your team one place to store and find documents with proper version control. No more emailing files back and forth, wondering which version is current, or asking colleagues to resend things. Everyone works from the same files with automatic saving and clear version history.

Scale IT Resources Up or Down as Your Business Changes

Cloud-based Modern Workplace means adding new staff takes minutes instead of days, and you only pay for what you actually use. When you hire someone, they get access immediately. When someone leaves, access is removed properly. Seasonal fluctuations don't require buying hardware that sits unused half the year.

Reduce IT Support Costs With Fewer Helpdesk Tickets

Properly managed Modern Workplace means fewer "it's not working" calls because systems are configured correctly from the start and monitored continuously. Staff get consistent experiences across devices, updates happen smoothly, and problems are caught before users notice them. Your IT team spends time on improvements instead of firefighting daily issues.

Why choose Apex Computing for Microsoft Modern Workplace

Microsoft Modern Workplace only helps if it's set up properly and managed by people who understand both the technology and your business.
Here's what makes our approach different.

Manchester-Based Team Who Understand Your Business

Our team is based in Manchester and available when you need help with migrations, user problems, or decisions about which Microsoft tools actually solve your business problems. You're not dealing with a foreign call centre reading scripts or a portal that tells you to raise a ticket.

Security Configured Properly, Not Just Enabled

Most problems with Microsoft systems happen because they weren't configured correctly in the first place. We take time to understand how your business actually works, then set up your Modern Workplace to match that reality instead of forcing you to work around poorly configured systems.

Ongoing Management That Prevents Problems

We monitor your Microsoft environment continuously and fix issues before they affect your team. Updates are tested and applied properly, security configurations stay current, and performance problems are caught early. Your team works without constant interruptions from IT issues.

We Explain Things in Plain English

When we recommend changes or explain what's wrong, we tell you in language that makes sense instead of hiding behind technical jargon. You understand what we're doing, why it matters, and what it costs before we do anything.

Fixed Monthly Costs With No Surprise Bills

Our managed services work on fixed monthly pricing so you know exactly what you're paying. No surprise invoices when something needs updating, no hourly rates that make you nervous about calling for help, and no hidden costs for essential security updates.
