As the COVID-19 pandemic began disrupting business operations on an unprecedented scale, organizations focused on mitigating the impact of the crisis. Deploying collaboration technology became the priority as employees shifted to work from home. But now that businesses are past the early pivot point, they must turn an eye to the future – and put in place a workforce resilient to future disruptions.
One way to get past the COVID curve is to think about digital investments more broadly and how expanding technology capacity can augment the workforce. Finding the right balance between human workers and the digital workforce will go a long way in helping businesses mitigate the pandemic’s impact on operations while also helping them prepare for tomorrow. Intelligent automation is the key to making this happen. With it, businesses can foster seamless collaboration among remote workers, engage and serve customers, and make the overall business more resilient to future disruption.
