With social distancing measures taking effect around the world in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, a significant majority of us will be working from home in the coming months.
As we speak, global meetings and conferences are shutting down. Cancellations encompass the biggest events in the Unified Communications sphere, from the Mobile World Conference, to Facebook F8, Adobe Summit, Microsoft’s MVP Summit and IBM Think. Even the G20 summit is moving to the virtual space.
As well as large conferences shutting down, smaller meetings and entire offices are being forced to move away from social contact to the safe, flexible sphere of cloud communications. CEO of Zoom, Eric Yuan, even suggested that the social curbing measures in light of the Coronavirus pandemic will lead to a “fundamental, permanent shift in how people work.”
With businesses all over the world moving – at least for the next few months – to an entirely mobile workforce, how do they maintain transparency and clear communication? Fortunately, a Unified Communications solution with a 3XC phone system could be the solution.
