Digital Workplace: Supporting the new way of working
The Coronavirus pandemic has had a huge impact on our lives with most organisations making a sudden switch to mass remote working. As restrictions are progressively eased, the impact continues, with organisations having to decide when to allow staff back into offices, what proportion of remote working should be expected, and how all of this should be supported.
Whilst in the early days of lockdown teething troubles with overloaded networks, malfunctioning video calls and patchy remote access to certain systems was tolerated, both staff and customers now expect far higher levels of service. This means tackling both the cultural challenges of understanding how and where employees want to work, and the technical challenges of offering a seamless IT experience whatever the new world looks like.
Take part in this virtual event to put your questions to the experts, and see what your peers have learnt from the pandemic, and how they plan to apply this understanding to 2021 and beyond.

The need for accelerated digital transformation continues even as lockdowns are eased. The demands on the digital workplace have permanently changed and the company’s future depends on IT more than ever, although misaligned priorities and lack of visibility and insight can create a fissure between IT and end users. This may be the perfect time to take advantage of disruption and build a system that is no longer in the grip of traditional IT provision, but puts employees first. Employees who, against a background of constant change, high expectations and limited visibility (after all, they only have a view of what they see on the screen), need proactive, meaningful innovation and exceptional experiences. Join Jon for this high paced 10 minute discussion on how IT teams can deliver an excellent digital user experience regardless of role, geography or workstyle, reducing the Expectation Gap.
Jon Cairns, Senior VP of Technical Services, Nexthink
