Accessibility in business has never been so important. The COVID-19 pandemic has drastically impacted us as individuals, as a society and especially as a workforce. Digital transformation has quickly become a buzzword and working from home is now the new normal.
While COVID-19 has forced organisations to place a higher priority on the health and safety of their teams, there is also immense pressure to work fast and more efficiently. The way businesses operate, communicate, engage and respond globally, has advanced the need for flexibility and accessibility. For businesses that had any lingering doubts about the necessity of cloud and digital transformation for prosperity, COVID-19 has silenced them.
The pandemic has rapidly forced both the speed of change and the drive for investment in digital transformation. With more remote workers, globally dispersed supply chains and data distributed among multiple systems, reliance on digital technology has never been so crucial. The integration of digital technology into all areas of a business results in fundamental changes to how businesses operate and how they deliver value to customers.
With a vast portion of the workforce working remotely, employee’s reliance on digital technology has gone from “nice to have” to “a necessity”. This has resulted in organisations prioritising digital transformation and investing heavily in technology to address immediate concerns, and to build resilience.
