How to save your business and your employees under COVID-19

While higher-ups are operating in crisis management mode, employees simply expect the tools that will allow them to work remotely, on any device, and at any time. The key, of course, for both managers and employees, is to guarantee business continuity in what is now a whole new world.

For many organizations, IT infrastructure is increasingly migrating to the cloud. With advanced tools and technology, the benefits are clear and measurable – better cost management; greater flexibility and agility; and the ability to scale based on current business demands.   The point is, we are already in the era of the cloud, and organizations adopting DaaS (desktop-as-a-service) are ahead of the curve. Today, it’s about devices, applications, and data access – and companies embracing this vision are enjoying universal improved productivity.

Let’s face it – COVID-19 has changed everything. With “stay home” precautions, a good percentage of our workforce is working remotely. In the meantime, businesses face a crisis on two fronts – accommodating their customers and keeping employees productive.   Solutions are already at hand and many business owners are initiating change in response to our new world. The key components for success are available – DaaS (desktop-as-a-service) – VoIP (voice over internet protocol) – and 100% guaranteed Internet uptime. 

More and more, consumers and customers are operating in a mobile world supported by their own personal devices. There’s no way to avoid it – and that’s why businesses must move to cloud technology in order to satisfy customers while enhancing their own productivity.

Now there’s even more. With the impending “stay home” culture for employees, cloud technology has taken on a whole new meaning. Businesses must address the explosion of personal data; the additional responsibilities of compliance; and all of the associated security risks.
