Stabilize Infrastructure & Operations During Work-From-Anywhere

Shift from the emergency to the next normal.

Work-from-anywhere isn’t going anywhere. IT Infrastructure & Operations needs to:

  • Rebuild trust in the stability of IT infrastructure and operations.
  • Identify gaps created from the COVID-19 rush to remote work.
  • Identify how IT can better support remote workers.

IT went through an initial crunch to enable remote work. It’s time to be proactive and learn from our mistakes.

Our Advice

Critical Insight

  • The nature of work has fundamentally changed. IT departments must ensure service continuity, not for how the company worked in 2019, but how the company is working now and will be working tomorrow.
  • Revisit the basics. Don’t focus on becoming an innovator until you have improved network access, app access, file access, and collaboration tools.
  • Aim for near-term innovation. Once you’re a trusted operator, become a business partner by directly empowering end users at home and in the office.

Impact and Result

Build a work-from-anywhere strategy that resonates with the business.

  • Strengthen the foundations of collaboration tools, app access, file access, network access, and endpoint standards.
  • Explore opportunities to strengthen IT operations.
  • Proactively help the business through employee experience monitoring and facilities optimization.
