Whether we are referring to industry, education or all forms of transportation, COVID-19 has certainly had a major impact. It’s an impact that is forcing many businesses around the globe to reconsider how things are done. It’s also an impact that is compelling many to seriously consider accelerating digital transformation plans of their business.

Limiting the spread of Coronavirus is the main driver of this and digital tools are seen as the primary way in which to achieve it. It’s also felt that companies that fast-track these digital and mobile technologies are ultimately the ones that will get ahead.

Keeping Business Going During the Pandemic

Now, home-working is something that has taken centre-stage during the pandemic, however, many businesses simply don’t have the technological infrastructure to make things work without it having some kind of detrimental effect on ‘business as usual’.

The result of this has been an unexpected realisation for many companies that fast-tracking of this kind of digital transformation offers a life-line during the current storm. Companies who would otherwise still be ‘on the fence’ about digital transformation are suddenly realising that it’s something of a business necessity, rather than a choice.

Covid-19 Conditions Are With Us for the ‘Foreseeable’

The fact is - and we’re being realists here - Covid-19 and the restrictions it represents is something that we’re going to have to get used to. We’re already starting to see ‘second waves’ of the virus across Europe and so those businesses that have adequate remote-working infrastructure in place will undoubtedly fare better than those that don’t. 

It would seem that the time for deliberation is almost up. Digital transformation is something that companies that wish to survive in the event of working restrictions being necessary for the long term, need to tackle at some point in the near future.
