Modern Workplace Training Platform for Microsoft 365

Training and adoption is one of the key elements in a modern workplace. Traditional training methods involve lengthy, pre-planned sessions that often take a full day to complete. In a modern workplace, learning is an ongoing journey, and training should support users along the way. That’s why we’ve partnered with Brainstorm to include Quickhelp in Modern Workplace.

Quickhelp is an online training platform designed for Microsoft 365. It provides training materials for all Microsoft 365 products in an easy-to-use format, such as short 1–2 minute videos that users can consume at their own pace. Quickhelp drives adoption of 365, enabling organisation initiatives like powering a remote workforce, going paperless, and reducing travel—all of which require your team to be efficient in collaboration tools. With Quickhelp, staff can be quickly trained on tools like Microsoft Teams and SharePoint without the pressure and time commitment of classroom-style learning.

Organisations can empower staff to be more proficient and better utilise the software tools already in use.

Modern Workplace Security and Compliance

We include Endpoint Security Software in all tiers of our support which includes:

  • Go beyond traditional antivirus with enterprise-grade protection and vulnerability management for your Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android™ devices.
  • Automatically detect and respond to cyberthreats with AI-powered endpoint protection for all your devices – whether working in the office or remotely.

Our Modern Workplace service includes powerful automation tools that enable us to assess and apply standardised security and compliance baselines to Devices, Users and Microsoft 365 Applications. The result is an increased security posture and capability to continuously assess and apply new security features as they become available.

Testimonials

What our clients say

The passion the team at Croft show for their business really shines through – the attention to detail, emphasis on possible savings and clear cloud-based approach is very impressive.

We feel their attitude to what we perceive as issues is very positive with all questions answered openly and without hesitation. We don’t feel that they gives us “sales talk” as their passion and enthusiasm are clear in everything they do.

Croft is providing an innovative approach for us and showing our IT infrastructure undergoing continual progress to keep us up to date in the evolving world of IT and communications.

Aberdeen Foyer

Caroline Swales, Finance Manager

Following from serious IT problems which left us without some critical systems for weeks, it was recommended that we bring in the team at Croft.

The turnaround was superb. Within days we had actionable information enabling us to make the strategic decisions required to restore operations. The comprehensive investigation, insights and reports meant we could resolve our IT issues, exponentially improve our infrastructure and systems and restore critical confidence for our team and our clients.

I described Croft as the “Rolls Royce” of IT – a title well deserved. If you find yourself stuck, these are the people for you.

Hamilton Waste and Recycling Ltd

David Hamilton, Director

After working with several IT support and telecoms partners that continually blamed each other or passed me from pillar to post, I came across Croft. The on-hand support and service are fantastic – I am really looking forward to the completion of the project and the results it will achieve – can’t recommend these guys enough.

Floors Castle the Roxburghe Estate

Jacqui McElhinney, Head of Finance

When we started looking at our renewal, Croft’s approach and knowledge of the market was fantastic.

We were not pressured at any point during the discussions to make a decision straight away. All the information we were provided throughout the consultation was second to none with a great level of detail and options.

When it came to renewing our contract, it was a very easy decision to do so as no other supplier could come close.

Croft has delivered the best value for money and service provided, assisting all areas of the company from support to director level. They have always been a recommendation to anyone else looking for a fantastic and reliable service.

ESPC UK Ltd

William Sneddon, IT Engineer

A massive thank you to the team at Croft who have steered us through complex compliance, upgrades and major improvements to our systems and network.

A great effort and a continuation of the premier service we have come to expect across the full range of services we have been provided (IT, mobiles, landline, consultancy, data et al.) which is critical for any finance business.

I look forward to their continued recommendations, being challenged on the status quo and the push they continue to give us as a business.
