As the world of work changes and companies find the work models that work best for them, information technology (IT) leaders are feeling the pressure to implement digital technologies that make it easier for employees to work securely from anywhere<\/a>. They are revisiting data management and security protocols to minimize vulnerabilities that can occur when employees use their own devices and public Wi-Fi networks. As their organizations begin returning to the workplace, they must maintain tighter restrictions around building access control while simplifying room scheduling<\/a> and desk booking<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In other words, there has never been a better time to evaluate \u2014 and accelerate \u2014 your digital transformation strategy.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Examples of digital transformation in the workplace<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

IT leaders have long pushed for digital transformation initiatives, and now organizations are seeking new ways to modernize operations and the employee experience<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

IT infrastructure transformation<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

As the number of people working remotely or embracing the hybrid work model<\/a> increases, the need for secure on-demand access to documents from any location and on any device also grows.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Cloud-based software is easy to access, manage, and maintain, which is why many enterprises have already adopted software as a service (SaaS) solutions. The accelerated shift from legacy on-premises software to the cloud simultaneously cuts costs while increasing productivity. Moving to cloud-based software solutions virtually eliminates the need for maintenance and upgrades, reduces costs, and increases scalability.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, you don’t have to move everything to the cloud at once.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you’re encountering resistance in the organization, you can start by implementing cloud-based software for employee-facing applications \u2014 like <\/span>room scheduling software<\/span><\/a> and project management solutions. But remember, this is mostly to usage concerns, not address real security issues. Cloud solutions have dedicated security teams, and many aim for \u201cfive 9s\u201d uptime, meaning they are available 99.999% of the time, or offline only about five minutes a year. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Resource scheduling<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Your workforce has become increasingly distributed. Some employees have returned to the office, while others are continuing to work remotely. There\u2019s also many who have gone to the hybrid model. You may also have more independent contractors working alongside full-time employees.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Many employees no longer need an assigned seat each day, but they still need access to many of the same resources on the days they are in the office. Centralized resource scheduling has simplified:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
