Hold onto your hats, because Microsoft is back at it with another impressive reveal. It does make one question whether their team ever catches any shut-eye!
Their latest game-changer? A browser tailor-made for businesses, aptly named Edge for Business.
This revamped tool is replete with top-notch security and productivity enhancements, offering a veritable treasure trove of benefits for bosses and their teams alike.
Edge for Business could soon be the top-drawer choice for internet browsing on work-related devices, whether managed or unmanaged. It offers companies the ability to maintain a level of control over employees without impinging on their personal privacy.
That’s just tickety-boo for the way many of us work today. If you operate under a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) model, then Edge for Business is going to be just the ticket for you.
One of the standout features of Edge for Business is its automatic separation of work and personal browsing into distinct browser windows. It comes with its own favourites, separate caches, and storage locations.
Certain sites will even launch automatically in the relevant browser. For instance, Microsoft 365 will open directly in your work browser, while a shopping site will launch in your personal browser.
That ensures you won’t have to fret about accidentally sharing that hilarious meme you found on social media with a colleague.
Edge for Business is currently ready for a test drive. However, as much as we understand the temptation to take it for a spin, we’d recommend holding your horses until its official launch come autumn. Let’s leave the guinea pig role to others, shall we?
Microsoft still needs to introduce custom branding capabilities for businesses, but they assure us that this feature is just around the corner. The waiting does add a bit of spice, doesn’t it?
Edge for Business aims to seamlessly integrate work and personal use on the same device while ensuring both personal and professional information remains segregated and secure. This fresh and exciting business browser promises to boost productivity and security.
If you’re looking for ways to stay productive and secure in the interim, don’t hesitate to drop us a line.
