Now that we've all been obliged to switch to working remotely in these coronavirus times, it's more important than ever to protect not just our own health, but also that of our IT working environment, as far as possible from viruses. But which security solutions are the best to achieve this? Here are some recommendations from our security expert. 

Microsoft 365 (M365) combines two familiar and popular solutions: the Windows 10 operating system and the cloud-based office suite Office 365 (O365). To cap that off, Microsoft has also added a complete security suite, EMS (Enterprise Mobility + Security). 

As the pandemic has increased the numbers of homeworkers in many countries, organizations have been forced to introduce or further accommodate Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) as a concept. And Microsoft Intune may well be the ideal tool to manage that. Let us explain.

As every ICT administrator knows, nothing works without tools. That said, a surplus of tools doesn't necessarily make an ICT administrator's job any easier. Unfortunately, this is the case for Microsoft 365, the successor to Office 365, which consolidates various business cloud solutions, each with their own separate management tool. That makes an umbrella management platform such as CoreSuite a very welcome prospect.

After an eventful 2020, we are ready for a new start. And 2021 not only brings us a new year, in which we go together optimistically and hopefully for a Positive Flow, but the new year also brings us a new name: Inetum-Realdolmen.  This new identity fits perfectly with the new Inetum group brand. How do we move forward together as one strengthened glocal company in this international context? We spoke to Vincent Rouaix (CEO and chairman of Inetum) and Johnny Smets (General Manager of Inetum-Realdolmen).

From planning technical interventions through to follow-up reporting: field service activities inevitably involve a great deal of administration. Fortunately, the days when such tasks had to be completed using pen and paper are now becoming a thing of the past. Today, Realdolmen's field service engineers hit the road with a tablet in hand, while their digital reports are made centrally accessible virtually instantaneously.

Many companies are currently transitioning from physical servers to a virtual environment. The cloud is flexible, scalable and entails fewer operational costs. By using cloud services in addition to your own servers, you opt for less worry on both the financial and technical level.

A combined infrastructure also presents organizations with challenges. “Organizations that choose to have a hybrid infrastructure will reduce costs and step up efficiency,” Mishra says. “At the same time, a hybrid environment will increase complexity.” According to research by Vanson Bourne, 70% of organizations find their hybrid infrastructure more complex than traditional IT.

How do you opt for safety and flexibility for just under half of the amount you spend now? As leading IT service provider, Realdolmen has reflected on this question too, and that led us to develop a solution for the operational and financial challenges many companies experience.

The options for being physically present somewhere are scarce right now. A virtual equivalent of a place, product or process can help. A Digital Twin is a fully-fledged digital alternative to reality. Actually it's even more, because you get an extra layer of information on top of the existing physical situation. Countless applications are imaginable, even for relatively small companies or companies with modest budgets. Here we refute some myths and show the added value in various contexts.

Rolling out a new workplace takes just a few minutes, and employees don't even have to stop by the IT department.

Separate (virtual) servers for each application? With the arrival of containers, that idea is gradually becoming outdated. Yet while the number of containers at companies is soaring rapidly, the need for efficient management is essential. And that's exactly where Red Hat OpenShift comes in.
