Modernization: 4 Managed IT Services to Add to Your Mix That Are Truly Transformational

As organizations emerge from the shadows of the COVID-19 crisis, many are wondering which changes they made during the outbreak will stick in terms of how they get things done and accomplish work. Are all the solutions they put in place “enduring or just band-aids?”

It is still too early to really know, but here are several trends and lessons learned that can make a difference moving forward.Learn more

Digital Technology

As the need for human workers challenged the continuity of many business processes, companies will try to adopt more automated and advanced technological solutions to mitigate the risks they faced during the pandemic. Forbes has outlined several technologies that will be on the rise.

  • Cloud technology – Remote work, video conferences, virtual spaces, remote monitoring, online education and telehealth are all possible because of the cloud. It allows flexibility to scale computing capacity on demand with centralized management and fast data backup and disaster recovery. If companies have not already made the move to cloud technologies, they will accelerate implementation or partner with a managed services provider as part of their digital transformation journey.
  • Workforce mobility technologies – Mobile apps will help employees access corporate services anytime from any place in the world., Videos will become a major communication medium providing remote connection and continuous data transfer to enterprise apps. More apps will use video functionality to process and analyze data received from multiple sources. Robotic process automation and artificial intelligence will impact direct sales, equipment production and maintenance. The need to replace people in many business processes will push businesses to consider similar emergency scenarios in the future and automate certain operations to rely on AI, which is always accessible. In addition, augmented analytics implementation will automate decision-making for specialists who oversee important business operations speeding up operations and excluding bias and human errors.
  • Smart infrastructure – Internet of Things for smart spaces and smart cities will focus beyond comfort control to real safety. Air quality, CO2 and temperature control will be used to provide 24/7 security in environments where people spend most of their time, especially considering the possibility of a massive shift to remote work. Edge computing will bring computation and data storage closer to the devices where they are gathered to increase network performance, speed and security.
