How Businesses\nAre Combatting COVID-19 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To say COVID-19, also known as the corona virus, has affected businesses would be a vast understatement. Businesses all over the world have had to shut down offices due to the pandemic but this has also seen the rise of digital\/online conferencing and communications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

COVID-19 has certainly caused rapid innovation as businesses from small SMEs to the leading companies on the FTSE 100 have been quickly implementing new methods of communication\/work. Yes, many businesses are still feeling the effects of the corona virus and likely will for some time, but these solutions do provide a lifeline to many businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Businesses that rely on person to person interactions have had to move their operations fully online. Even institutions like schools, colleges and universities are having to use digital solutions to teach students. However, while there are many digital workplace solutions for businesses to use it often isn\u2019t a simple process.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Digital\nDifficulties <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many digital workplace solutions available these days and even educational establishments can take advantage of digital classroom solutions as well. But while these alternatives provide a valuable outreach for businesses especially now amidst the corona virus, utilising them isn\u2019t always easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, this is proving to be a major stumbling block for many businesses. The huge spike in businesses, of all sizes and across various industries, moving to use digital solutions<\/a> to keep operations running has led to further distribution and chaos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While many of these digital alternatives\/solutions where used in the past, many businesses didn\u2019t rely on them. They were niche products\/ services so for many businesses, having to heavily utilise them in such a short period of time, has led to some problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Schools rushing to implement a digital classroom solution\nhave run into numerous issues and so have businesses looking to move their operations\nonline. Many businesses simply don\u2019t have the knowledge or digital infrastructure\nin place to properly set-up a totally online solution to continue their\noperations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because the COVID-19 situation developed quite rapidly in many countries businesses simply didn\u2019t have time to fully get things in place. This has led to many businesses using digital strategies that simply don\u2019t provide them with a proper service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a lot you can accomplish with digital workplace\nsolutions but implementing them properly is another challenge many businesses\nare struggling with. There are many digital workplace solutions that businesses\ncan benefit from utilising during the COVID-19 pandemic but actually knowing\nhow to use them is a challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simple\nSolution <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The corona virus is certainly having a huge knock-on effect\non businesses of all sizes. However, while digital workplace solutions may be\nchallenging to implement they are now in many ways vital to ensuring the\nsurvival of your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Businesses that already have pre-existing methods in place\nlike supermarkets and their ecommerce home delivery solutions have an advantage\nhere. Because they are already familiar with certain digital workplace\nsolutions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

However, there are solutions out there for businesses and\nestablishments across all industries. Online churches, for example, have sprung\nup around the world and they simply live-stream their services to people. Yes\neven though this simple solution hasn\u2019t always quite gone to plan <\/a>it\nstill shows how establishments like churches can still provide a valuable\nservice during the pandemic.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
