The right device for you

Anyplace: users who regularly work from any of the Council’s offices, from home and from various other locations. This is the profile we would expect to apply to most staff now or in the future.

• We would expect teams with staff matching this profile to have fewer desks than people (typically a ratio of 60-70%) and would provide a device (e.g. a Chromebox) on all desks
• We would expect a pool of portable devices (e.g. Chromebooks) to also be shared within the team (typically a ratio of 30-50%) for working away from the desk

Single location: users whose work is predominantly based in a specific office and at a desk

• We would expect teams with staff matching this profile to have slightly fewer desks than people (typically a ratio of 90%) and would provide a device (e.g. a Chromebox) on all desks
• We would expect a small pool of portable devices (e.g. a Chromebook) to be used within the team (typically a ratio of 10-20%) for working away from the desk

Out and about: users whose work is mostly out of the office, but who might return to the office for some of their work

• We would typically expect these users to be assigned a portable device (e.g a Chromebook or iPad) for their primary use
• These users would also have the ability to be able logon to a Chromebox on a desk but not be assigned a desk as such in their team's desk allocation
