With more\nthan one-third (37 percent) of UAE firms planning to shift to remote work due\nto the COVID-19 coronavirus public health issue, organizations need to enable a\nmobile workforce that has constant access to business applications and data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Across\nthe Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), about one-third (35 percent) of firms are\nplanning to shift to remote work, according to a recent\nsurvey<\/a> by Gulf Talent. About half (45 percent) of all GCC firms plan\nto shift to remote work for all employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While many UAE and GCC organizations have remote work plans in place, many need to implement them rapidly, argues Condo Protego, the UAE-based IT infrastructure and information management consultancy and solutions provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cFor UAE and GCC organizations, remote work is both a short-term goal, in the face of the coronavirus, and a long-term goal, because of the more flexible working styles of the Millennial and Generation Z workforce,\u201d said Praj Calthorpe, Deputy GM, Condo Protego. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Knowledgeable and experienced channel partners can advise on how to rapidly deploy remote working with laptops, access to business applications and data, and cybersecurity solutions. Condo Protego is working with one of the UAE\u2019s larger banks on remote working for hundreds of previously desk-bound employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the\nUAE, Condo Protego is seeing strong demand for Dell\nTechnologies\u2019 secure mobile workforce solutions<\/a> for working on the\ngo, and RSA SecurID\nidentity and access management suite<\/a> with two-factor authentication.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
