Mobilising workforces
Local government, Warwickshire Council are under increasing pressure to make resources go as far as possible, at a time when demand for services continues to rise. In order to work as efficiently as possible, Warwickshire Council made the bold decision to give each of its 4,500 staff a Surface Pro and migrate to Microsoft Office 365. Using Windows Autopilot, IT minimised setup and rapidly rolled out the devices. Users were ready to start working the moment they received their device.'
When we gave every single member of staff a Microsoft Surface Pro, it almost overnight changed people's ability to work differently and flexibly in a way that suits them and that works for us. The technology really has helped to underpin the culture change we're going through as an organisation.Microsoft Customer Story-Migrating 4,500 users in 90 days to Office 365 and Microsoft Surface Pro

Enabling true mobility
From consultants to doctors, medical professionals at NHS are building Surface into their roles. By empowering mobility in the workplace, Surface is also driving other infrastructure changes at NHS as well, like the push to build out Wi-Fi across its facilities. Today, Wi-Fi has become a standard at NHS, and Surface devices are configured to connect automatically when NHS signals are detected.
Being mobile workers, [staff] can now go anywhere on-site, or off-site completely, and just take the device with them and hook up to whatever systems they need—instantly—without having to print off notes, write them on paper, then come back and capture information, updating that separately … they can just do it, straight away.Andre Araujo | Head of ICT, Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust
Police
Whether it's providing rugged devices that offer 24/7 connectivity for police officers when they're on the move or designing the infrastructure that'll support critical activities in a control centre, we know that the right technology is key. It can help to reduce costs in a sector where budgets are tightly controlled, create efficiencies, improve communication and boost productivity where it's needed most.
When you’re in charge of keeping critical services up and running, you need a device that empowers you to do more. Providing emergency workers with Surface devices will help them get the job done, whether they’re attending a scene, at the hospital or the station, or handling calls at a control centre.
The emergency services face unprecedented demand combined with increasingly constrained budgets. Technology can drive efficiencies, improve service delivery and help emergency workers be productive wherever they are.

How Cheshire Police use Surface
Cheshire Police serves more than 1 million people in the north west of the UK. It wanted to get its officers out of the office and back into the community. Cheshire police officers take statements from witnesses and use a full keyboard and the Surface Pen to record them and the public also use the Surface Pen to draw pictures that can support their statements. The Surface camera records crime scenes, so specialist teams are not always necessary and they can rely on rugged cases to protect the Surface in tricky situations.
