    (3/5)

I started working in Government as part of a graduate program, and accepted a permanent position once it finished. I have been in the Department ever since and love the perks of being a public servant. However, I am looking to change to a different agency.

Understanding the interaction

Thoughts, opinions, feelings

  • I love the work I do, but I want a new challenge
  • Having to repeat the same information is quite tedious
  • Going through the clearance process and remembering my details is so frustrating
  • Having to learn a new system is going to be super tedious

Pain points

  • I need to find my tax file number (TFN)
  • Not looking forward to doing an onboarding process again
  • I will have to find information again if I need to get another type of security clearance
  • The Department I used to work for had old and slow computers, and I expect the same poor experience

Want to achieve / get out of interaction

  • Seamless transition between agencies
  • Ability to quickly pick up the systems since they are consistent across agencies

Motivation to use modern workplace?

  • Once you learn how to use it, it is the same across any agency, making transition to another role a lot easier

Modern workplace benefits

  • Faster device setup
  • Interface is more intuitive
  • Sees more consistency across agencies

The time it takes IT to provision a new device is reduced by 75%.

Using Intune and EMS makes it possible to streamline and automate 1,633 device provisioning events per year (based on a composite organisation of 5000 workers - source: Forrester “The Total Economic Impact Of The Microsoft 365 E5 Solutions”).
