WEBINAR
Cloud Based Remote Workforce
Date: 22 October 2020
Time: 11am – 12:00pm

Enabling and Managing a Cloud Based Remote Workforce.

The convergence of work-from-anywhere and in-office work has become the new normal for most organisations. And moving forward, a cloud-based, remote workforce will be the foundation of how organizations operate, compete, and succeed.

This new mandate forces today’s companies to think about how work gets done, both inside and outside their walls. Organizations that want to amp up their success have to develop new cloud-collaboration strategies to get the most out of their work-from-anywhere teams. Technology leaders and their business counterparts have to embrace the philosophy of work from anywhere, particularly when it comes to rethinking the core concepts of infrastructure, workplace productivity, and business processes.

In this webinar, we will hear from Harambee, a not-for-profit social enterprise tackling the youth unemployment of South Africa and Rwanda, as they highlight their journey into the cloud for face to face staff to work remotely. And the challenges of motivating 500 remote people in a new fluid and vibrant environment.
