They have closed down, they have closed their offices and forced their employees to work from home, they have borrowed money and scaled back or eliminated their 2020 plans. It would be nice if all that sacrifice would pay off, but the frustrating reality is that there is going to be a lot of sustained discomfort for a lot of business owners.

One thing is for certain: businesses that were able to react quickly, or were prepared to make major internal and external changes were more likely to persevere through this disruption. That doesn’t mean it hasn’t taken hard work, but we want to explore some of the technology differences that could lead to stability for a modern office, despite outside forces.
