Modern Workplace
Engaged. Efficient. Empowered.
Technology has always been inseparable from industriousness. But the modern workplace isn’t solely about technology as a tool. It’s about technology as a goal, and how users experience, adopt, and adapt it to meet your organisation’s objectives.
At Brennan, we give you the time, tools and skills that enable you to collaborate, innovate, and drive long-term success across the board – inside your organisation, with other key stakeholders, and for your customers.

Robert Hanimyan
Director of Digital
As true in today’s digital era as it was in the Bronze Age, it’s not just about having the right tools that make a tangible impact, but how they’re used. With our integrated approach to the modern workplace, we help companies create unified, efficient, and empowering environments, making it easier for people to focus on what’s always mattered most: collaboration, innovation, and success.”
Modern tools, operational excellence
Copilot Readiness, Information Management, & Security
Our Copilot Quick Start offers a pre-priced and pre-scoped solution that includes an environment readiness and enablement assessment to address areas of concern, including identifying and protecting your organisation’s sensitive information, where it’s housed, and how it moves in your organisation, reducing your risk and exposure to amassed and/or accumulated data, and protecting your brand from data breaches.
Microsoft 365 Productivity
Our approach to Microsoft 365 migrations is to take a holistic view of how your organisation can best leverage the broader set of functionalities offered by Microsoft – such as OneDrive, Microsoft Teams, and SharePoint Online.
SharePoint Management
With capabilities that extend far beyond functioning as a simple file repository, unlocking the real potency of SharePoint hinges on knowing how to design, govern, and support your environment. Be it on-premise or in the Cloud, we can help you identify the best SharePoint deployment model for your business, and design ongoing support plans.
Corporate Intranets
Offering an up-to-date and ‘out-of-the-box’ intranet that’s quick to deploy, easy to adopt, and full of flexible functionality, our SharePoint Intranet QuickStart offers an easy on-ramp to SharePoint, minus the overheads and workload.
Forms & Workflow Digitisation
To help you transition from a paper-based to paperless environment, our advisory expertise can define comprehensive digital form and workflow roadmaps. We also specialise in creating organisation-wide Forms Centres that combine all the technologies you use to ensure a streamlined employee experience.
Adoption & Change Management
While organisational familiarity with Microsoft 365 services runs wide, understanding its full functionality to maximise its value needs to run deep, too. That’s why we offer a range of change management and user adoption solutions to help with your cloud adoption journey, ensuring your teams get the most out of your Microsoft Modern Workplace solutions.
Making work 'work'
Whether it’s extending investment value, empowering collaboration, consolidating legacy infrastructure, applications and technology sprawl, reducing internal and external support via a simplified infrastructure and business application portfolio, or enhancing the employee experience for remote, office and hybrid profiles, our Modern Workplace solutions are laser-focussed on making work ‘work’.
Digital transformation, brilliantly deployed
Through modern business applications, familiar Microsoft platforms and a simplified employee technology experience, we ensure employees have access to the latest collaboration and productivity tools; employers benefit from robust security features; and everyone benefits from digital transformation – wherever and however they work.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Modern Workplace, and what does Brennan deliver?
A Modern Workplace is an integrated set of tools, security controls and ways of working that designed to help employees collaborate effectively across office, remote and hybrid environments. Brennan delivers end-to-end Modern Workplace services built on Microsoft 365, including migrations and optimisation, Teams and SharePoint enablement, corporate intranets, workflow digitisation, Copilot readiness, and adoption and change management – the technology improvements that translate into measurable productivity and employee experience gains.
Can Brennan help us migrate or optimise Microsoft 365?
Absolutely. Brennan supports Microsoft 365 migrations and uplift programs, from discovery and planning through to implementation and post-change optimisation. This includes moving and rationalising content (such as file shares or legacy SharePoint), configuring Teams, SharePoint Online and OneDrive appropriately, and improving information architecture and governance so people can find, share and secure information without creating sprawl or risk.
How do you support hybrid and remote working environments?
Brennan designs Modern Workplace environments so employees can work securely and consistently from anywhere. That typically includes optimising collaboration in Microsoft Teams, improving access to shared knowledge and documents through SharePoint and OneDrive, and applying governance and information protection controls that support flexible work without compromising on security, compliance or usability.
What is Copilot readiness, and how can you help us adopt Microsoft Copilot safely?
Copilot readiness is the process of preparing your Microsoft 365 environment – data, permissions and security controls – so that Microsoft Copilot can be enabled responsibly and deliver value without exposing sensitive information. Brennan’s readiness approach can include a readiness assessment, identification of oversharing and sensitive data risks, and recommendations such as data classification, sensitivity labels and Data Loss Prevention (DLP), supported by enablement so early users understand how to use Copilot effectively and appropriately.
Can Brennan build or refresh a SharePoint intranet?
Yes. Brennan designs and delivers SharePoint intranets that improve internal communications and make it easier for employees to find what they need, be it news, policies, forms or key resources. For a faster path to value, Brennan also offers a SharePoint QuickStart: an out-of-the-box foundation that is quick to deploy, easy to adopt, and flexible enough to evolve as your intranet maturity grows.
What is workflow digitisation, and what kinds of processes can you automate?
Workflow digitisation replaces manual or paper-based processes with digital forms, approvals and automated workflows to reduce turnaround times, errors and administrative effort. Brennan helps organisations define a pragmatic workflow roadmap and implement reusable patterns (including organisation-wide forms centres) that standardise the employee experience. Common use cases include onboarding, internal service requests, policy adjustments and acknowledgements, and recurring approvals.
How do you help support user adoption and governance to ensure Microsoft 365 is used properly?
Brennan combines enablement with practical governance, so Microsoft 365 becomes the way people work, not just another set of tools. This can include rollout planning, role-based training, communications support, change champions, and governance guidance for Teams and SharePoint (such as naming, lifecycle, permissions and content ownership). The outcome is consistent usage, less duplication and sprawl, and better control over information sharing without creating unnecessary friction for end users.
