Lenovo has unveiled its latest Digital Workplace Solutions (DWS) aimed at enhancing the productivity and resilience of Singapore’s digital workforce in key growth and innovation sectors. This move aligns with Singapore’s ambition to accelerate its digital economy. The portfolio of managed services offers intelligent tools and systems, alleviating the challenges faced by IT leaders in managing an increasingly hybrid workforce.
According to the Lenovo Global CIO Study 2023, a significant number of CIOs in Singapore believe their teams need to be more resilient to tackle current and upcoming challenges. Additionally, managing a remote workforce is considered “extremely challenging” or “very challenging” by over half of the respondents.
Digital Workplace Solutions encompass a comprehensive range of offerings designed to improve workplace productivity, security, employee satisfaction, and performance. These include advisory services, persona-based configurations tailored to different digital user personas, and an automated, self-service desk. The latest technology updates incorporate AI-driven threat detection to anticipate attacks on device systems and AI-empowered support to preempt issues before they occur. IDC’s 2023 whitepaper emphasizes the importance of intelligence in personalizing the workspace and providing specific resources needed for tasks.
Addressing the trends of hybrid work, Lenovo also presents a wide array of 5G-enabled eSIM commercial laptops in Singapore. These devices enable professionals in various industries, such as manufacturing, maritime, and healthcare, to work away from their desks with fully connected and secure workstations, utilizing the advantages of 5G such as higher bandwidth and lower latency without requiring a physical SIM.
Nigel Lee, General Manager at Lenovo Singapore, highlights the shift towards comprehensive IT solutions that support employee experience and business success. The Digital Workplace Solutions and 5G PCs empower enterprises with advanced technology to optimize productivity and enhance security, aligning with the government’s efforts to drive business innovation and digital economy growth.
Digital Workplace Solutions also tackle two major concerns for CIOs – sustainability and cybersecurity. To support the adoption of sustainable practices, Lenovo offers CO2 Offset Services, allowing enterprises to offset carbon emissions produced from PC manufacture to shipping and device usage over its lifecycle. Additionally, managed security services are provided to help IT leaders manage cybersecurity challenges in the face of remote work.
Despite economic challenges, Singapore CIOs are committed to investing in innovation. The government’s focus on supporting R&D capabilities with tax breaks further encourages this approach. By leveraging Digital Workplace Solutions, CIOs and IT teams can outsource IT tasks, freeing up resources to concentrate on innovation and drive business outcomes cost-effectively.
