“There are jobs. And there are workplaces. But there’s only one Epic Workplace!” That’s the simple credo of our CEO, Sanche Baskaran. What he means by this is that the perfect modern workplace is the ultimate challenge. No matter how volatile, complex, or rapidly changing the work environment becomes for companies and their teams—the digital workplace must be a safe haven. Technologically. And even more so, culturally. The bar is set high. Reason enough for us to think of the workplace as truly epic.
From cable clutter to the cloud—everything flows
If Heraclitus were alive today and saw just how right he was with his famous saying—“Everything flows, and nothing remains the same”—he’d probably pat himself on the back with satisfaction. But from a less philosophical perspective, that’s exactly what makes it such an immense challenge. In the past, servers and network cables were still physically present in the office—today, everything is in the cloud. Letters sent via the “Hermes Baby” were replaced by fax, email, and later messaging apps. Calls used to come through landlines; today they come via Teams or cell phones. These are just a few examples of an ultra-dynamic transformation in which it’s not so much the “what” that’s changing, but rather the “how” and “with what”—and at an ever-faster pace.
Enthusiastic About Change, But Realistic in Our Approach
Of course, as digital enthusiasts, we’re thrilled by this “panta rhei.” But we’re also realistic enough to know that, amid constant change, companies need digital and cultural developments that enable them to achieve what really matters—success, job satisfaction, room for creativity, seamless collaboration, flexibility, and security.
From Need to Solution: The Epic Workplace
This combination of digital enthusiasm and economic realism gave rise to the idea of the Epic Workplace: an adaptive, cloud-based ecosystem that intelligently combines technological and cultural aspects—and is more cost-effective than anything that came before.
The Epic Workplace for New Work
What was still considered a buzzword just a few years ago has long since become established: New Work. The term encompasses all developments that are significant for a modern, people-centered work environment. These include, in particular, location- and time-independent work, as well as independence from specific devices and operating systems—ultimately, the means for self-determined, self-directed, efficient work that is enjoyable. That’s why our Epic Workplace combines state-of-the-art technology with a genuine user-centric approach —creating a work environment that feels like a digital home. Because work is most effective when you feel empowered, not restricted. Our Epic Workplace is uniquely designed to meet these requirements.
The Epic Workplace for Flow
While the term “Arbeitsplatz” is traditionally functional in nature and primarily describes the physical, institutionally organized place of work, the term “workplace” in the Anglo-American context opens up an entirely different field of meaning. It represents a concept rich in cultural, emotional, and social significance that equally encompasses physical, psychological, and digital dimensions. The workplace is a space where people not only work, but where identity is formed, teams grow, and collaboration happens intuitively. It is a place of productivity, creativity, and exchange—and sometimes simply a good place to think. Our Epic Workplace brings that flow to wherever work is happening—regardless of location, time, or device.
The Epic Workplace: Bringing It All Together
People, IT, and the company are meant to converge at the Epic Workplace. For this to succeed, key technologies must mesh seamlessly—and be tailored to the unique requirements of each company. Microsoft Teams serves as the central communication and collaboration platform. With function-specific apps like Lists, Planner, To Do, and the Viva Suite, Teams becomes an indispensable all-rounder in everyday work. In the Epic Workplace, SharePoint serves as the content management and intranet technology, ensuring the structured storage and management of files—with version control, approvals, and clear permissions. After all, few things slow down workflow as much as documents that can’t be found. The ecosystem is complemented by the Microsoft Power Platform, a low-code/no-code platform that enables custom automation and data visualization. And with Microsoft 365 Copilot, a new level of intelligence is now being added: Copilot links information, context, and work processes in real time—right within Word, Outlook, Teams, and other apps. Whether you’re preparing for a meeting, analyzing a report, or writing a proposal, Copilot provides support exactly where the work is happening. In our Epic Workplace, nothing runs in parallel; everything works together.
The Epic Workplace that grows with you
Many can cobble together technological components. But our Epic Workplace is more than just a hodgepodge of tools with the message: “Work it out!” Its foundation is built on a careful assessment of requirements—tailored, practical, and future-proof. After all, no one wants over-engineering, and no one wants under-engineering. On this basis , we develop an excellent service model with flexible add-ons that meets the company’s needs today—and grows with it tomorrow. This includes a fully automated setup of digital workstations, customized update and lifecycle strategies, well-thought-out Security and Compliance-as-a-Service offerings, user-centered onboarding, and a smart service management and support model. In addition, we provide valuable insights for continuous optimization by monitoring adoption, security, and performance as needed. In short: Our Epic Workplace adapts to the company and its teams—not the other way around.
The Epic Workplace with the Highest Security Standards
Our principle is simple: Security by Design, Experience by Default. Security mechanisms are our top priority—and that’s exactly how we implement them in the Epic Workplace. We offer immediate response to security incidents, implement automated detection and escalation via Microsoft Defender and Sentinel, and integrate SIEM/SOAR workflows. This allows risks to be detected and addressed in real time. At the same time, the Epic Workplace guarantees uninterrupted work —thanks to transparent protection mechanisms that ensure security in the background without disrupting workflow. The central principle here is Zero Trust: No user, no device, and no location is trusted by default—every access request is verified based on context. This is complemented by role-based access controls and granular permission management to ensure that data stays exactly where it belongs. And should a genuine WSHTF situation ever arise, clearly defined escalation paths and transparent communication kick in—proactively and in a traceable manner. In short: Our Epic Workplace is as secure as a digital workplace can possibly be.
Epic Workplace: Bringing Out the Best in Different Disciplines
Two hundred and fifty years before our Epic Workplace, Georg Christoph Lichtenberg observed: “Those who understand nothing but chemistry do not even understand that properly.” This applies, mutatis mutandis, to the perfect digital workplace—because it thrives on the interplay of various disciplines. Our Solutions Map illustrates exactly that: Without well-thought-out data solutions, even the best apps cannot reach their full potential. Without a stable, high-performance infrastructure, there’s no “digital fun factor.” And without robust security solutions, none of it matters anyway. Last but not least: Technological progress is only truly epic when it positively transforms work culture —toward openness, responsibility, and the joy of collaboration. That’s why we see the Epic Workplace as a cross-functional product that draws on the best of all disciplines. Long story short: Our Epic Workplace is ready. Are you? Get ready & transform!
