What a difference 6 months make… Who could have predicted back in January the global lockdown, the sheltering in place mandate, and the immense impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic.
During the last six months, the global business community has learned to work from home, compressing the slow marathon to the digital workplace into a brisk sprint for the finish line. In the words of Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, “We’ve seen two years’ worth of digital transformation in two months.”
During the last six months, we have seen the rapid adoption of Microsoft Teams, going from just north of 10 million users at the top of the year to 75 million daily active users by April. And as workers hunkered down at home, tools like Microsoft Teams became lifelines to the remote workplace. The ability to check in with colleagues, customers, suppliers, and partners via virtual meetings and chat became the fuel that powered the remote working engine.
While at home, workers have had to become self-sufficient with technology, as they could no longer turn to colleagues in the next office or cubicle, or on-site IT staff for advice.
