Corporates feel it is time to go back to office

The Covid-19 pandemic abruptly disrupted the operations of businesses and forced companies to adopt the remote working culture. The work from home 'experiment' was successful, given the need of the time, with a rise in the demand of technology to keep businesses running smoothly. Most of the Tech companies have done a good amount of business in these two years. They have catapulted many organizations into the future, rapidly accelerating digital transformation. Work environments changed overnight as remote work became commonplace and market demands evolved.

Technology organizations are going to upgrade their supply chains for greater transparency and resiliency and to embrace cloud, everything-as-a-service (XaaS), and edge intelligence to ramp up their transformation efforts. You can get more work done. As long as you’re not sneaking off binge Netflix, you can actually be more productive when working from home. Many corporates feel that it is time to go back to office and no more comfortable work from home culture.

Some say, working from home increases productivity by 13%. Meanwhile, 87% of employees say the office is important for collaborating with team members and building relationships — their top-rated needs for the office. The success of remote work has reimagined how corporate work gets done, as well as where the work takes place. After the pandemic receding, many companies are trying to start regular work but a report shows that, about 40% of the employees are willing to work from home, only at times of any important meeting, they are willing to come, hence the companies adopted the practice of hybrid work culture.

There is continuous dialogue among the employees and their HR teams on restarting the work from office culture, it all depends on the needs of a business, there are some instances in which on-premise is cheaper. And then there are other situations where the cloud is less expensive. However, the majority of organizations will find that cloud computing will cost them less than on-premise infrastructure.

Despite its many advantages, cloud computing is not without its issues. You should be aware of these if you're considering moving your business into the cloud. Most cloud service providers implement relevant security standards and industry certifications to ensure that their cloud environment remains safe. However, storing data and business-critical files in virtual data centres can potentially open you up to risks. Another important thing is working from home employees are more vulnerable to cyber-attacks without the security protections that office systems affords – such as firewalls and blacklisted IP addresses – and increased reliance on technology.
