Digital transformation is fast becoming the lifeblood of every business, every industry. Businesses today must innovate around how work gets done, where it gets done, and the devices and solutions needed to enable it all. Simply put, the way we work has changed—remote and hybrid work are the new norm, and they can bring many benefits, but not without challenges.
The Challenges of Hybrid Work
- Increasingly complex IT environments due to number of new devices connecting to the corporate network
- Need to provision and deploy devices remotely without sacrificing security
- Pressure to scale, bring services to market faster, and reduce costs
- Teams need flexible, productive, and secure work-from-home options
- Growing cyberthreats require more advanced security across devices, users, apps, and their data
IT and business leaders want to empower employees with intelligent devices and software that's familiar, enjoyable, and reliable—no matter where they're working.
Seamless Transitions
Seamlessly transitioning across onsite and remote working environments ensures a more dependable and enjoyable user experience versus one that feels disconnected and draining.
Natural Productivity
Being productive heavily relies on enabling people to work in ways most natural for them.
Inclusive Collaboration
Empowering teams to collaborate and brainstorm beyond the confines of a conference room opens the door for greater inclusivity and greater results.
Silicon Diversity
Offering silicon diversity and choice of materials and form factors—alongside compatibility, reliability, security, and flexibility—the Surface portfolio unlocks the potential of people and businesses to accomplish more.
This requires a portfolio of devices that are versatile, optimized for the software they run, backed by a brand they trust, and can enable long-term value for the business. And everything—from the device to the apps it runs—must remain highly secure and integrated within the existing security stack.
Remote and hybrid work is here to stay. To meet the challenges of more complex IT environments and create sustainable business practices, organizations must embrace more modern technology. Modern tech is a strategic enabler for businesses' success, helping them pivot quickly, navigate uncertainty, and embrace all these new ways of working now and in the future.

Testing consisted of full battery discharge with a mixture of active use and modern standby. The active use portion consists of (1) a web browsing test accessing 8 popular websites over multiple open tabs, (2) a productivity test utilizing Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Excel and Outlook, and (3) a portion of time with the device in use with idle applications. All settings were default except screen brightness was set to 150nits with Auto-Brightness disabled. Wi-Fi was connected to a network.
