In a recent article by Rob Rogozin of Momentum Telecom, the challenges of the remote workforce are discussed. Because of the disruption of the COVID-19 pandemic, the shift to remote work was abrupt and, therefore, unplanned.
Even a home-working scenario that seems appealing can be unsettling when it is forced upon a company.
The technologies that come into play deserve attention and, for many businesses, represent great risk when ignored.
However, with the right tools in place, businesses of all sizes can stay connected, focused, and ready to take on any challenge, no matter where they might be working.
The shift over the last ten years to broadband at home has made a gradual shift to remote work possible even before the pandemic. For many companies, unified communication and collaboration platforms had become essential for connecting employees and getting work done in the years leading up to 2020.
Adding cloud access to broadband further facilitates remote work. The growing amount of data accessed in a typical workday has increased and has included telecommunications. Cloud-based voice solutions, often are easy to implement, require only an internet connection and a supported device.
The pandemic also saw a rise in use of collaboration platforms like Teams, Hangouts, Slack and Zoom. While these pushed audio and video streaming capabilities, the increase has also accelerated the cyber-resilience initiatives at many organizations.
Any organization’s weak link in managing these technologies is its failure to manage threats by investing in robust security measures.
