| | AUGUST 20206CIOReviewThe biggest trend of late, remote work, is showing no signs of slowing down. As more and more employees are opting to work in remote positions, a high percentage of businesses are expected to transition to offering flexible working arrangements within the next decade. During this time, organizations see the rise of virtual workspaces and constant connectivity as a big opportunity to remodel the ways of working in their businesses. Organizations planning to implement remote working options need to plan for increased outlays on IT infrastructure, such as cloud platforms, to enable employees to work and collaborate effectively from home or travel. Even when working remotely, employees require access to most of the physical tools, equipment, and hardware that they would typically utilize in a traditional office setting. For a remote working strategy to succeed, the foundational working tools for any company would include mobile hardware tools such as laptops, smartphones, and internet access. And the best mobile hardware tools will always be the most up-to-date models and the most rapid subscription plans available and come under a company's IT budget. Virtual collaboration and communication tools are the very essence of a successful remote working strategy. Chat rooms and video conferencing environments are slowly but surely replacing common email tools, with technology providers designing workplace chat apps that smoothly and seamlessly foster communication amongst team members. And with the rise of virtual project management applications, managing and coordinating projects among remote workers can be a breeze for companies. However, the widespread increase of remote working can also spell trouble for companies that have not been proactive in planning for a future where the traditional office layout loses relevance in the business landscape. Leafing through these pages will help you keep abreast of the new technological advancements in the remote working landscape to augment the competitive advantage and forge successful growth strategies. We hope this issue gives you helpful insights into this market landscape. EditorialWork Policies: A Pandemic ReformCopyright © 2020 ValleyMedia, Inc. All rights reserved.
