The ability and option to have your staff work remotely from differing locations has become essential. The Covid-19 pandemic has made many businesses realise that they were ill-prepared for a scenario where the whole population was told to stay at home. But some businesses coped better than others, having already embraced a range of cloud-based technologies and services, enabling their employees to continue to work remotely. Taking advantage of cloud-based computing will ensure that you have the flexibility to adapt in unforeseen circumstances and that you are always open for business.

What was most revealing is that 88% of respondents did not want to work from home all week but want the flexibility of working part of the week at home and part in the office. This is made possible by cloud-computing.
