Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, working remotely was already more popular than ever before. One Gallup survey in 2019 found that more than 40% of Americans worked from home occasionally, and in recent years, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) noted that roughly 16% of Americans (nearly 30 million people) now work remotely on a regular basis.

Today’s workloads and application demands require networks to be configured for prioritization as well as easy and quick access to clouds and colocation. IaaS refers to cloud-based infrastructure resources delivered to organizations via virtualization technology that helps build and manage servers, network, operating systems, and data storage. It eliminates the need for remote access hardware, helps with data replication and virtual access, offers security options, and provides an operational expense model.

This download will provide insight into three real-world scenarios to help illustrate the benefits of IaaS for small to mid-sized businesses.

As the next decade begins to unfold, digital transformation conversations will pivot to the change experience—improving the move to the cloud and what it means for organizations as a whole, their network and data, as well as both employees and customers. We’re already seeing technologies such as AI and machine learning taking the lead by automating specific business functions and making strides to improve process and overall experiences.

Start talking CPaaS. This cloud-based platform will enable your customers to add real-time communications features to their own applications. CPaaS is a platform or sandbox that applies to communication applications. This helps companies communicate with their customer while creating a better customer experience through their existing application. Traditionally, App first companies (ex. Uber) were using this solution but now we are seeing non App first companies (ex. healthcare companies using app for medical records) using CPaaS. Apps are becoming the best way for companies to put a message out or interact with their customers which is why CPaaS is becoming a more important conversation in the channel. Watch this quick video about CPaaS to help you start the conversation today.

Demand for digitalization comes from all ends of an organization and is changing the way technology decisions have traditionally been made. There are outside factors and business unit influences that affect how technology is consumed, internally; just as a downed network affects an entire organization, a dysfunctional integration between a CRM and an email automation platform affects productivity, and degradation of phone and voice services affects the customer experience. Ultimately, these afflictions lead to loss in revenue.

As more companies migrate their infrastructures to the cloud and adopt software-as-a-service models, decisions surrounding data transportation, collaboration, and access are now involving the full executive team in the decision-making process; therefore, it’s imperative to speak the stakeholders’ language to get them on-board with your proposed solution, invested in the purchase and become a champion on your behalf.

Technology purchases no longer sit solely with IT; it’s marketing, business intelligence, sales and even HR that often hold the proverbial purse strings.
