A Buyer’s Guide to Optimizing Remote Employees’ Extended Network
The shelter-in-place mandates put in place earlier in 2020 sent most employees home, and for the next few months they strived to stay connected and productive, while IT teams scrambled to provide infrastructures to support them. Now many organizations have realized there are benefits to having a distributed workforce, and thus are focused on tackling some of the network-related challenges that have compromised employee experience.
Remote user access is one top-of-mind concern. When employees are remote, connecting to on-premises apps can be complex and convoluted— whether from corporate-owned or personal devices. Think multiple multi-factor authorization prompts and similar sources of frustration. With the list of business-critical apps and collaboration tools commonly used only getting longer, what started as an inconvenience is fast becoming a major productivity drain—and a huge time commitment for the IT teams tasked with responding to password reset help desk tickets.
But it’s important to remember that not all technology solutions are created equal, nor are the ways that different organizations can most benefit from them. This goal of this guide is to help organizations understand the three key factors to consider.

The devices that will enable these intelligent and connected endpoints will be hugely diverse in their design but share many common features. This combination of uniformity and uniqueness is both an opportunity and a challenge for OEMs looking to leverage the massive IoT.

THE MODERN MEETING ENVIRONMENT
Work patterns have changed forever and modern working, with people able to work from a variety of locations, is here to stay. Many of us have become used to working remotely and collaborating via video and instant messaging. We’ve remained productive, but perhaps at the cost of losing some of the natural, personal interactions that make working in a team so enjoyable.
