🧠 What Is SOE and Why It Matters

Standard Operating Environment (SOE) ensures consistent IT configurations and practices across the business:

  • Automates deployment and provisioning

  • Manages patching, version control, and subscriptions

  • Enables visibility across IT assets

  • Simplifies compliance and reporting

Think of SOE as the operating system for your entire IT team.
