CDW provide a full range of packaged Adoption Services that ensure your users understand how, why, and when to utilise the Microsoft technology you've made available to them.

Experience tells us that the vast majority of organisations merely scratch the surface of the capabilities afforded to them by Microsoft technologies. At the fingertips of users are all the tools they require to be truly efficient, unlocking otherwise unrealised potential, but 'they don't know what they don't know'. Users are unaware of smarter, more effective ways of utilising the technology and most of us carry on working in the same fashion, using the same applications in the same way. Real expertise is required to understand how the technology can support and underpin improved working practices, particularly as Microsoft 365 is constantly evolving and improving. Understanding how specific applications can expedite processes or create closer, secure working practices, despite organisational or geographic boundaries, will create tangible efficiencies and competitive gains for your business. 

CDW has created a range of structured engagements to support your organisation in driving the effective adoption of Microsoft technologies. Our Adoption Consultants will work with you, providing their experience and guidance to create improved working practices while positively impacting a 'change culture'.  We have developed three Adoption and Change Management Service package options: the Basic, Essential, and Premium service packages have been developed to support different-sized organisations and the corresponding levels of complexity.
