IT operations management in the age of the hybrid workforce

According to a TNO report, by the end of 2020 no less than 49% of employees were working from home or via a hybrid model. This trend will continue in the coming years. This has significant consequences for the organization of labour and the continuity of businesses. Therefore, CBA Benelux organizes a free webinar in which we shed light on this issue. 

Nowadays, organizations worldwide have to deal with a situation in which employees work partially or entirely from home. This requires a lot of creativity and flexibility from all stakeholders. It is an unprecedented change in the way work is organized and provides many benefits, for both employees and the organization. Remote working will continue to exist alongside working at the office. This hybrid working is the new status quo.

Besides advantages, this hybrid model poses some challenges to the organization’s IT infrastructure. We have summarized them in four R’s:

• Recover the impact Covid has had on productivity, connectivity and security.
• Replace temporary measures and solutions with future-proof ones.
• Re-model processes and strategies, as advised by IDC ('Branch of One architecture') and Gartner ('Anywhere Operations').
• Recognizing areas where it is necessary to digitize or migrate to cloud solutions.

Ultimately, it's about: 

1. How do you organize your IT management in this new status quo?
2. How do you provide the IT infrastructure to serve this remote workforce in a hybrid model?
3. Is there enough knowledge and tooling in the organization to guarantee continuity?

To answer these and other questions, we are organizing a webinar on 16 September 2021. The webinar will last 1 hour. Participation in this webinar is completely free of charge.
