There is no doubt that the way businesses operate has changed significantly throughout 2020 and while many of us had plans for and technology in place to deal with a distributed workforce, not many of us have the plans, technology or processes in place to deal with all of our workforce been distributed.
That has raised challenges across many enterprises do we have the right infrastructure? What about security? How do we support all our users? Deliver enterprise-class technology and solutions into the consumer environment that is the home? Let’s face it, enterprise technology and its deployment was never designed for the home and even less designed for it, was our ability to offer support to all of our users, from setting up remote access to dealing with home broadband and wi-fi issues.
Now then, is the time for us to take a step back and rethink our distributed workforce, how we approach it? How we modernise not only our technology but also our processes as we realise that for many the shift to a more distributed workforce is going to be a permanent one? To help me to explore this is this week’s podcast guest Doug Miller, CEO of Brightworks Group, a company specialising in helping enterprises of all sizes to modernise their approach to IT and help to service a distributed workforce.
