Times are changing.
Gone are the days of going to the office to sit at a desk for a traditional 9-5.
There is a continuing realisation among employees – they don’t need to be shackled to a desk to get their work done. To retain the best talent, companies must be flexible enough to embrace the change.
This revolution in the way people work shows no sign of slowing down and the tech sector has stepped up to help companies adapt. Turning to cloud-based solutions helps employees stay productive and the company remain profitable.
Let’s look at what your customers need to know before embracing a cloud-based hybrid working future.
Can cloud solutions secure assets?
Going hybrid with cloud-based solutions presents a new set of problems for security professionals to consider, especially as attacks increase. 2021 saw 50% more cyber-attacks per week on corporate networks compared to 2020.
Devolved networks and personal devices tend to be top of mind. Whether working from the office or home, your customer’s cloud security solution must protect the company’s digital suite, so when your customers look for a cloud-based hybrid solution, security is a vital consideration. Luckily, security is also a key concern for those developing solutions as the threats adapt and increase.
Through the practice of protecting cloud-based data, applications and infrastructure from cyber-attacks and cyber threats, you can ensure your end-customer cloud workplaces remain optimally secure.
Will my hybrid workforce be less productive?
Cloud-based solutions enhance and improve employee productivity. 77% of high-growth companies have registered better productivity since going hybrid . Once security has been established, productivity is where these solutions shine. They bring employees together remotely and let them collaborate freely, not losing the magic that comes from sitting next to each other.
This leads to improved productivity as it allows workers to stay in touch, no matter the distance between them. And as the world continues to adapt, a vast number of new and existing programs have been tweaked to be supported by cloud solutions, from connecting to a VPN, to holding webinars across the world.
How flexible are cloud solutions?
Cloud-based solutions facilitate hybrid working. It’s about offering choice: how, where, and when to work. However, the business benefits too – resource and file sharing in real time while safeguarding sensitive data, anywhere in the world. The business can also be more agile by freeing up IT resources for other projects.
