Built for Business
Surface Pro for Business is designed to meet the security, deployment, and lifecycle requirements of modern organisations.
Secure and ready for business environments
Surface Pro 12-inch has multilayered security built and managed by Microsoft across hardware, firmware, Windows and cloud. Microsoft Pluton and TPM 2.0 are built in at the hardware level. Surface UEFI, built with Project Mu open-source components, uses a memory-safe design to help protect firmware integrity. Protection extends through Windows 11 Pro, BitLocker, NFC authentication and Windows Hello facial recognition with Enhanced Sign-In Security. As a Secured-core PC, it has all key Windows 11 security features enabled by default from first boot.
As a Microsoft Surface Platinum Partner, ASI helps ensure devices are configured to organisational security standards from day one, not default consumer settings.
Designed for modern device management
Surface Pro 12-inch supports standardised fleet deployments using Microsoft Intune and Windows Autopilot. Devices can be provisioned, secured, and configured remotely, enabling consistent deployment across teams, locations, and roles with minimal manual setup.
ASI brings proven experience delivering large, complex Surface deployments, helping customers reduce rollout effort and avoid common operational risks.
De-risked delivery and lifecycle support
Beyond the device itself, successful Surface deployments depend on how devices are delivered, supported, and maintained over time. Surface Pro for Business supports long-term fleet use, refresh planning, and warranty options suited to enterprise environments.
ASI’s Warranty Concierge and post-deployment support services help minimise downtime, manage device issues efficiently, and protect the value of the investment well beyond day one.
