DECEMBER - JANUARYCIOAPPLICATIONS.COM6EditorialRemote Work is Here to StayA lot has changed in the last two years--from how we communicate to how we perceive work. The acceleration of the adoption of digital technologies due to the pandemic has led to an increase in streamlining operations with connected technologies and automation, resulting in greater speed, less waste, and more focus on making the lifestyles of the end consumer more seamless.As a quick response to the pandemic, organizations across the globe implemented work-from-home, and have been surprised by its success. Remote work is here to stay as companies across the globe adopt a `hybrid work culture. While the world retrofitted tech from the pre-pandemic era to fit their needs, 2022 will see technology leaders innovate to achieve continuous business success and support employee productivity using technology designed specifically for hybrid/ remote work. For example, ramping up/ innovating battery performance is key to an `untethered' experience when it comes to remote work. It allows devices to last longer and charge faster, driving a seamless and sustainable device experience. Moreover, like the rise of TWS, people in a remote work environment want to have a `hands-free' and touchless computing/ mobile experience. 2022 may see technology being driven in that direction with AI and connected device advancements.While current IoT systems have been designed and developed to be a reactive tool ­ spin into action after an event has happened, Artificial Intelligence of Things' power lies in being a proactive tool that can study and detect events, providing predictive actions that can vastly impact consumer lifestyle ­ become more seamless. The future lies in its convergence, as AIoT will affect every industry vertical in 2022 and beyond.Although the pandemic is receding, there's little sign of working practices returning to pre-COVID `normal.' And while it's here to stay, remote working might not continue in the same way. Some organizations aren't as enthusiastic about remote working as others. And while some employees never want to go back to the office, others find that working from home full time (something that was never going to be perfect) isn't for them after all.Let us know your thoughts.Joe PhillipManaging Editoreditor@cioapplications.comJoe PhillipCopyright © 2021 ValleyMedia, Inc.
