  • So, how do you move beyond just supporting to powering hybrid work?

Understand the demands of hybrid work.

Hybrid work is powered by the convergence of people, technology, and places. You’re being asked to:

Flexibly support your people’s strengths and preferred work styles, as well as business needs.

Empower your people to be engaged and productive anywhere with scalable, manageable, future-ready technology.

Reimagine all types of workspaces and connect people in new ways with safe, secure, supportive places to work.

But hybrid work is both different and harder than how we worked before. It's more:

Dynamic

Mission critical

Permanent

With complexities and pressures on all sides.

64%

of companies are frustrated with the complexity of integrating collaboration technologies from multiple vendors.

53%

of large organizations are planning to reduce their office footprint.

58%

of CIOs and IT decision makers predict that up to 50% of their IT budget will be spent maximizing their 2020 business resilience investments.

It’s time for a new approach.

One that lets you evolve traditional on-site and off-site work models for the era of hybrid work.
