Organisations must focus on business continuity and how to maintain it with solid end to end solutions built around resilience and efficiency platforms.

2020 has been a very challenging year with the pandemic causing huge impact on businesses and the economy alike. But it has also given rise to a new era of business as companies have adapted to new ways of conducting business. 

A key takeaway from 2020 is preparedness – many businesses were not ready for the scale of uncertainty that COVID-19 brought. Organisations must focus on the business continuity and how to maintain it with solid end to end solutions with resilience and efficiency. They must anticipate and work in advance with a 5 to 10 years strategy for the next technology phase.

2020 has been a very challenging year for businesses across the globe as the pandemic forced economies to a grinding halt amidst a global lockdown. This has created a new era of business operations as companies and people continue working remotely to maintain business continuity. As remote working has become the norm, cloud solutions and infrastructure has become a must for businesses to enable its workforce. 

A high point during this year was that businesses accelerated the pace of their digital transformation efforts to allow business continuity. The key drivers for this were secure connectivity, unified communication and cloud solutions which allows people secure access to the infrastructure of their companies as well as to maintain the contact with colleagues, customers and business stakeholders.
