Video and the Distributed Workforce

What does the modern workplace look like? Is it row upon row of cubicles and modular workstations? Or is it perhaps a more open-flow office plan with shared workspace environments that encourage greater collaboration? In reality the answer is neither as technology has dramatically improved the efficiency of remote employees over the last decade, giving rise to the concept of a distributed workforce.

What is the Distributed Workforce? The distributed workforce is a legion of external/remote employees who can convert coffee shops, park benches, an airport, a hotel room, or anywhere with a WiFi connection into their office space.

In the infographic below, we look at the role that video plays in ensuring efficiency and productivity throughout the distributed workforce. Video meetups can build trust and engagement by fostering regular communication and a platform for establishing timelines and responsibilities amongst individuals working as part of a group from different locations. Video collaboration tools also allow for content sharing as well as a virtual co-working environment. And finally, by helping make a distributed workforce a more feasible option for enterprise organizations, video and the distributed workforce can allow companies to achieve significant cost savings through lower office overhead costs, less travel, and greater efficiency.

Analyzing the Rate of Migration to Cloud Technologies

The Cloud. The movement of all things tech-related to the cloud has become an ever-present topic of discussion in the last few years. While “the overarching concept of delivering computing resources through a global network is rooted in the sixties” (source), the cloud computing concept has experienced explosive growth in the last decade as companies like Salesforce.com have made enterprise application delivery via a website a reality.  Here at Aryaka, we specialize in helping solve the challenge of unreliable performance of public internet experienced by end users as a result of enterprise applications and services moving to the cloud.

As such, we took a special interest in a recent survey done by PC Connection that analyzed how far along in the process of adopting cloud technology a sampling of 500 different organizations were as of 2013. The results are quite interesting, revealing that while only about 1 in 5 organizations have already moved some of their applications to the cloud, 50% of organizations labeled themselves as “on the way” to moving applications to the cloud as they are in various stages of evaluating vendors, making plans, etc. Not surprising, a chief motivation for migration to the cloud is disaster recovery, while ensuring proper security is listed as the most significant challenge.  We hope you find our infographic to be interesting, and please feel free to submit your comments or questions!
