MONITORING SOFTWARE BLOG

More and more businesses are moving to a distributed team setting. Whether comprised of contract workers or salaried employees, your remote team needs extra support so that tasks are completed efficiently and on time. This includes robust cloud storage, file sharing, task management, and other collaboration and productivity tools.

As technology improves, more and more employers are considering implementing a remote work option. This pressure is only heightened by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. 

By adding a remote team to your workforce, or by shifting your current office space to remote work, you benefit from reduced office expenses, increased productivity, improved employee morale, and an improved bottom line overall.

If your business has not prepared for remote work, then there are a lot of ducks to line up in a row but the biggest, and most important, concern is data security. 

With an increasing number of individuals moving to the global marketplace for work, it should come as no surprise that nearly 102 million people are estimated to work from home in 2020. However, with this shift away from the traditional office space comes a number of drastic changes.

Where businesses are seeing the financial rewards of remote workplaces, like decreases in operating and capital expenses (IDC, 2019), there comes an additional number of unknown factors. Some of these include the inability to regulate security as efficiently, and the de-unification of company trust and culture.
