Female technology leaders weigh in on telecommuting during COVID-19 and the technologies enabling it
, the benefits of this way of working are clear. And now, this crash course on remote working has helped companies deploy technologies, develop policies, learn best practices, and break down taboos to lay the foundation for long term change.
Shannon Sbar, Vice President, IT Channels, North America for Schneider Electric said her company had seen video conference increase in significance, but that the pandemic has helped demonstrate its value to skeptics. Looking ahead, she expects the platforms to become even more secure and easier to use as they become more mainstream.
Alongside the growth of AI and machine learning capabilities in support of IT service and database management, we’ll also see the growth of remote monitoring platforms and predictive maintenance tools. Schneider Electric’s Sbar says that early adoption of these services has already been strong, but as it grows managers will be better able to maintain their respective processes, identify when repairs are needed, and then oversee those repairs without needing to be onsite.
She expects our shared experience will contribute to a greater understanding of both the limitations and benefits of distributed work in the future.
