Rethinking Remote: Security, Connectivity, and Agility for the Digital Workforce

With the shift to a remote working environment, organizations and individuals alike are struggling to stay connected and focused. Things that were taken for granted in an office environment, like secure access to applications and resources, as well as reliable internet speed, are now causing issues that challenge productivity and increase frustration. While companies try to determine which cloud-based apps and digital platforms will work best moving forward, employees struggle with a lack of unification and continuity on how and where they should work – in a completely secure way. Now is the time to start planning for what’s next. In the near future, the average worker will be splitting their time between remote and office work. It’s imperative that businesses start formulating a continuity plan that makes the transition between environments as efficient as possible. With a truly agile foundation, companies will be able to bridge the gap between an entirely remote environment and an eventual transition to a hybrid working model. Security, connectivity, and productivity don’t have to be complicated in a digital environment. With the right approach, companies can improve the experience of remote employees and customers without compromising business as usual. Our conversation will focus on how to create a safe and efficient workplace by embracing agile approaches that are sustainable in an in-person, hybrid, or digital environment.
