As the pandemic accelerates workplace innovation and employees’ expectations, it’s time to rethink how, when and where we collaborate, create, build and grow.
From helping businesses protect workers and stay afloat, remote work is set to become an everyday feature of business life.
The next phase involves optimising the remote work environment with collaboration tools, ensuring our dispersed and in-office workforces can play well – and securely – together.
With new work norms here to stay, solving the security challenges brought on by a rapid deployment to remote working is key to ensuring the success of our increasingly hybrid work environments.

How do you get the most out of your technology investments and your people, find the resources to support future growth, while keeping costs down, and customers and stakeholders happy?
With a world in economic hardship, consumer confidence dented, and a rush to ensure continuity in a crisis, many businesses face a pandemic hangover. Efficiency and optimisation have moved from the ‘to do’ list to the ‘must do’ list.
For organisations that upscaled during the pandemic to meet a boom in customer or employee demand the challenge now is to maximise the potential of this flexible, scalable infrastructure.
The pandemic has also mandated the need for IT teams to gain better visibility into IT spend to optimise costs and identify strategies to help them become more agile.
Cloud services, data centre modernisation and managed services are taking centre stage as organisations look to streamline processes and secure the technological foundation to minimise cost, complexity and management overheads.

If 2020 has shown us anything, it’s the value of being able to deliver reliable application performance for employees and customers on-demand in a crisis. Coming out on top when unexpected change rears it head relies on agile and resilient IT infrastructure.
COVID-19 put a spotlight on the need for an overnight shift to mass digital transformation and many businesses weren’t prepared. For those that were, the pandemic was an unprecedented example of the power of investing in scalability and performance.
The ability to handle changes in workload while delivering a reliable and secure employee and customer experience is increasingly an expectation – not a “nice to have”.
The pandemic will not be the last time that organisations will see their competitiveness defined by factors like scalability and performance.
