Future of work: Which technologies are shaping the office of tomorrow?

The advancing digitalization and social change have sustainably changed the way we work in recent years. In 2025, it is clear: The future of work is digital, flexible and technology-driven. Technologies play a central role, especially in the B2B environment and in the equipment of modern offices. Companies face the challenge of making their working environments future-proof in order to promote innovation and secure competitive advantages.

Which technologies dominate the office of the future? How do they change the work processes – and which mobile devices play a key role? In this article, we provide insights into the most important trends around the future of work and show how modern technology can enrich your working world today.

1. The most important technology trends in the modern office (2025)

The office of the future is more digital, mobile and intelligent than ever before. The following technology trends are currently particularly in focus:

Artificial intelligence (AI) and automation: AI optimizes workflows, takes over repetitive tasks and supports teams in decision-making.
Cloud-based Collaboration Tools: Tools such as Microsoft Teams, Google Workspace or Notion enable location-independent collaboration in real time.
Mobile First & Device-as-a-Service: Flexibility is achieved through mobile devices such as high-performance computers, business-suitable iPads and the latest Samsung Galaxy Smartphones – often efficiently provided via rental models.
Cybersecurity solutions: Security software, Zero Trust concepts and Remote Management protect devices and sensitive data.
Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR): New forms of working and training via immersive technologies are becoming reality. Devices such as the Meta VR glasses enable innovative meeting and training experiences.
5G & WiFi 6E: Faster and more stable connection for unlimited mobile productivity.

These technologies are no longer a vision – they are reality and are already changing the daily work of many companies today. The challenge now lies in integrating these innovations strategically.

2. Hybrid working as the new normal

A central keyword of the future of work is “hybrid working”. This refers to the flexible combination of office and remote work. Studies show that the fixed office workplace is increasingly dissolving and being replaced by hot-desking models or home office solutions. Employees today expect mobile devices that allow them to work seamlessly and securely from anywhere.

The use of modern devices is essential here. Notebooks, tablets and smartphones enable teams to access all data and tools at any time. Convertibles, which can be used as both a laptop and a tablet, are particularly popular in hybrid scenarios – such as the versatile HP Omnibook Ultra Flip or the Microsoft Surface Pro 10, which enables maximum flexibility for every work style.

3. Device-as-a-Service (DaaS): Efficient device provision

More and more companies are relying on Device-as-a-Service models (DaaS) to make their IT infrastructure more flexible, scalable and cost-efficient. Instead of making high initial investments, mobile devices such as laptops, iPads or smartphones can be obtained via rental models – including services such as installation, maintenance or exchange.

Advantages of DaaS for companies at a glance:

Advantage	Description
Cost efficiency	Predictable monthly costs instead of high investments
Flexibility	Scalable rental models adapt to the company’s needs
Always up-to-date technology	Access to the latest devices without outdated hardware, e.g. with the new iPad Pro M4 (13 inch) or the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra.
Service & Support	Technical support, replacement devices and maintenance included
Sustainability	Reuse and professional recycling promote sustainability

4. Sustainability in the digital office

Sustainability is one of the biggest drivers in the technology industry. Companies are increasingly focusing on green IT strategies. Energy efficiency also plays a major role in the selection of mobile devices. In addition, more and more providers are paying attention to CO₂-neutral supply chains, long-lasting batteries and recyclable housing materials.

It is worth not buying devices anymore, but replacing them regularly via smart rental models – this ensures that resources are used optimally and electronic waste is reduced. Flexible rental models for devices such as the Meta Quest 3S VR-Headset are also a step towards sustainable corporate IT.

5. New workplace design through technology

The office of tomorrow is not only technically, but also physically different. Rooms are flexible, meeting rooms are equipped with smart screens or Virtual Collaboration Tools. Digital whiteboards, room occupancy sensors and intelligent lighting systems support a modern working environment.

Especially in the mobile sector, modern tablets with pen functions, powerful notebooks with video conferencing optimization or robust smartphones for field service are becoming increasingly important. For example, if you want to use a state-of-the-art service device, you can benefit from the latest iPads such as the iPad Pro M4 (13 inch) or use the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra for field service.

6. Artificial intelligence as an assistance system

AI systems support task prioritization, scheduling and information retrieval. Generative AI such as chatbots or writing assistants help to create content or make customer service faster and more targeted.

Increasingly, AI solutions are also being integrated into mobile devices, e.g. for intelligent voice control or the optimization of battery life. Companies should test early on how AI tools such as Microsoft Copilot or Google Duet AI can improve their way of working – ideally on powerful hybrid devices such as the Surface Pro 10.

7. Security & data protection in focus

The increase in remote work and mobile devices requires secure solutions. Modern Mobile Device Management systems (MDM), encrypted connections and biometric authentication are standard today. Companies must strengthen technical and organizational measures – especially with BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) strategies.

Recommendation: Rental devices with a central management system offer security and control without restricting mobility. Rely on reliably configurable business computers with scalable protection.

8. Recommendations for the selection of mobile devices

The following device types have proven themselves for modern working environments:

Ultrabooks: Lightweight, powerful, often with long battery life – ideal for hybrid teams, e.g. the HP Omnibook Ultra Flip.
Convertibles: Combination of laptop and tablet for maximum flexibility, such as the Surface Pro 10.
Business-Tablets: Compact, with input pen and keyboard dock for presentations and on-the-go work, e.g. the popular iPad Pro M4 (13 inch).
5G-Smartphones: Powerful communication devices such as the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra with app integration and secure company control.
