Get Those IT Infrastructure Projects Back on Track
In early 2020, many organizations were moving full-speed ahead with IT infrastructure upgrades that would help position themselves for the digital transformation. The pandemic caused on-premise data center projects to get downsized or even cancelled. Funds were needed elsewhere, staffing was disrupted, supply chains became disarrayed, and the companies focus was pulled in multiple directions. Companies went from thriving to survival mode. As we are already seeing, companies are starting to rebound and projects that were tabled are now back in play.
Because of how the world has changed, the business world also may never look exactly the same as before. Many IT infrastructure projects will now be hybrid or altered to support more of a mobile workforce. An office is no longer defined by four walls, so changed to IT projects have to reflect that. The digital transformation is now going to see a sudden push in mobility management, Backup-as-a-Service, edge computing, artificial intelligence, IoT and machine learning projects and solutions.
