An essential solution to maintaining the remote workplace.
2020 was full of surprises. Who would have guessed we’d be sending the vast majority of office workers home? Perhaps even more surprising: We were all pretty good at it. People adapted. Businesses pivoted. And, so did IT.
Almost as quickly as the world shut down, IT departments kicked it into high gear – delivering ambitious new remote working solutions worldwide, including droves of laptops, personal smart devices, headsets, and webcams. New collaboration tools rolled out in record speed, and video meetings became the new norm – along with the occasional interruption of the family cat.
But, things rarely go smoothly, especially during a worldwide pandemic. IT teams were not equipped to remotely manage and configure entire fleets of corporate devices. Procurement teams faced shortages, delays, and logistical nightmares. Corporate networks buckled under the pressure to keep operating systems and software secure. We needed a better way to manage our workplace infrastructure when 2020 began – we just didn’t know it yet.
Enter Zero Touch. A term that has been in the IT lexicon for years, Zero Touch has suddenly become an essential part of maintaining the remote workplace. Not only can Zero Touch address IT’s requirement to ship and configure entire fleets of smart devices automatically, but it also provides the much needed agility to keep software and operating systems secure and up to date. All this, while also giving end users far more flexibility and productivity.
