WFH adoption accelerated cloud app growth and business continuity challenges
The research indicates that three-quarters of businesses now have more than 76 percent of their employees working from home compared to just under 25 percent at the close of 2019. While a third of respondents cited their business being “ill prepared or not prepared” for remote working, 75% of businesses were able to transition to remote working within 15 days. Less than a third expressed cost or budget problems, demonstrating the urgency to support their business. Additionally, more than half (54 percent) expressed that COVID-19 has accelerated migration of users’ workflows and applications to the cloud.
