Today's challenges Hybrid working is here to stay. With a distributed workforce, the focus will be on facilitating collaboration while enabling high-quality remote access. But technology can be as much of a barrier to a successful remote working strategy as it is an enabler. 1. Enhanced flexibility will be needed to cope with the changing number of people in office With a 60% office occupancy, organisations could see a 50%+ increase in bandwidth requirements through increased video demand. The majority of meetings that were held in person will now have a virtual element. 2. Cloud adoption of collaboration tools will need to be carefully managed Relying on public internet can bring challenges with speed and reliability, impacting performance. Your cloud tools and applications are only as good as the network delivering them, and new services need to be integrated and managed carefully. 3. Employees outside the company network will bring additional security challenges The pandemic saw a massive increase in phishing attempts and security attacks. Keeping employees and company data secure should be a top priority. Check your bandwidth now Want to learn more?
