Because of the COVID-19 Pandemic, companies had to switch to remote work much more quickly than planned. Without the correct technology in place, managing remote access, security and compliance became very challenging.
The International Data Corporation forecasts that by the end of 2020 remote employees will make up 72.3% of the total workforce in the US. Cloud-based technology such as Office 365 will allow these employees to remotely access files, communicate easily via chat, voice and video and work collaboratively with their team members.
