Achieving Business Success During the Pandemic
Pandemic Impact
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, companies are forced to change how they get work done in the new circumstances. With that, PCs are very important elements used to empower employees to exercise their expertise and services in different ways. According to IT decision makers (ITDMs), for future work to be progressive during the pandemic, employees must have access to stable work PCs in order to continue remotely. Companies that invest in better PCs and adjust their work strategies can guarantee the stability of how they work through the effects of the pandemic.
Introducing Hybrid Work
COVID-19 has made way for change in the business world, no matter if it’s in mature, medium-maturity, or low-maturity organizations. Because of that, ITDMs work to create beneficial work strategies for when the pandemic is over. Prior to the pandemic, most organizations had less than 10% of their employees working remotely. Now, employees need to balance their organization’s needs whether they are working from the office or remotely from home.
Over half of the
ITDMs notice that their company will eventually become hybrid meaning that some members will work at home certain days of the week and at the office for the other days. The employees as well as their employers will have the chance to continue their business ventures and work from different settings. Only about a quarter of IT decision makers express their intentions to go back to their pre-COVID work strategies. However, as many companies support continued productivity both remotely and on-sight, employees agree. Both employers and their employees support a hybrid-work future due to its many opportunities for workers to do their jobs from anywhere, not just their office workspace.
Over
80% of IT decision makers (ITDMs) see the overall benefits of upgrading their company PCs for the good of their entire organizations.
Two-thirds of ITDMs also see the importance of investing in reliable, high-performance PCs for continued work, especially over the next year.
As employees are increasingly working from multiple locations, online video calls have become critical for ideal connectivity wherever they may be working. Because of that,
82% of decision makers agree that investing in extremely stable PCs for better video quality and overall capability is an important change worth making. Similarly,
85% agree that it’s important to ensure the stability and strength of their PCs to ensure the best resources for company work to get done.
But What About Older PCs?
PCs are the foundation for employers and employees alike to continue doing their work outside the company office. However, ITDMs say that current PCs fail to ensure the best productivity for their organizations. Older models may struggle to provide good video and audio quality for business calls, connectivity in order to complete tasks, or support for a new type of work. For that reason, the organizations need to invest in better PCs that support their hybrid-work strategies.
PCs vs. Hybrid Work
A vast majority of ITDMs believe that purchasing PCs is much different than it was before due to a need for performance, security, and reliability. These factors matter because they can allow for improved employee experience, organization productivity, and better company performance. But while many high-maturity organizations agree with this statement, only 27% of low-maturity organizations do. It's critical that PC devices are stable and high-performing for the new future of working technology. Without them, companies could potentially fall behind during the COVID-19 pandemic.

(If medium/low maturity) Build a business case
