An Operating System Designed for Hybrid Work

Hybrid work is here to stay, and your organization needs an operating system that enables your people to work at home, in the office, in the field, and everywhere in between. It also needs to be easy for IT teams to manage and provide advanced cybersecurity. User experience is more important than ever, not only for employee productivity but also for engagement, satisfaction, retention, and attracting new talent. Windows 11 delivers a more streamlined, more customizable computing experience that doesn’t compromise performance, security, and manageability.

Users and Admins Are at the Center

Windows 11 sharpens your focus through a simpler, more intuitive user experience, including a centered Start menu, clean layout, and effortless navigation. You can create separate desktops for each project or workstream and switch instantly between desktops from your taskbar. And Windows 11 devices can be deployed, secured, and managed remotely through the Cloud. App compatibility is a core design tenet of Windows 11, and Microsoft stands behind their promise that your applications will work on Windows 11 with App Azure, a service that helps customers with 150 or more users fix any app issues they might run into at no additional cost.
