With the COVID-19 crisis escalating fast across the globe, businesses are facing a two-fold challenge: protecting their people while rapidly managing the shift to new work models. As the crisis shows no signs of slowing down immediately, businesses must take urgent measures to minimize workforce disruption caused due to higher rates of sick leaves, complete lockdown in many countries, and the lack of a mobile work setup. Aphelion advises organisations to look at this situation as an opportunity to address the vulnerabilities in their existing business models, and create a crisis resilient, elastic enterprise ecosystem – with support of a robust and responsive IT framework.
COVID-19 has brought to the forefront several vulnerabilities of the traditional IT enterprise setup, which have historically been overlooked. Many businesses have temporarily shut down as they don’t have a plan to deal with a crisis of this scale. Several other companies have realized that they are not equipped to ensure 100% productivity with their current setup and are looking for ways to improve their situation immediately.
Setting up a remote workforce and scaling it further at an enterprise-level to ensure business continuity, especially during this time of crisis, is a challenging task. However, with right practices and timely implementation, enterprises can’t only achieve optimum business results, but also:
Whether this outbreak surges or lulls business, ensure your IT infrastructure is prepared.
As more organizations become multinational companies (MNCs) with offices and/or factories in different countries, real-time collaboration between teams across the globe is critical for efficient and uninterrupted business. As teams expand globally, it’s increasingly critical to ensure IT infrastructure is robust and secure. Building a digital workforce that’s resilient to disruption with processes, training and planning and implementing the latest tools and technology will make collaboration seamless and mitigate crises.
