2020 saw a sharp rise in the number of people working from home. In the early months of 2020, around 3.4% of the American population worked from home. By 2021, experts estimate that nearly a quarter of the American workforce will continue to work from home. This trend exists not only because of coronavirus concerns. But because of the benefits that remote work offers to workers and employers alike.
Less than a year ago, every industry, almost every organization, was focused on adapting to the challenge of managing successive generations of new technology: more but also more expensive equipment. Of course, IT loomed large, here, with constant advances in mobile devices such as phones, laptops, notebooks; but, in fact, the revolution was in full gear in specialized equipment for hospitals, service companies, engineering outfits, and many others.
The only way for asset managers to maintain their operations and get ahead of the competition is by reinventing new ways to adapt their processes in line with the current situation. Learning institutions, businesses, and government agencies are turning to digitalization and technology tools like asset management software to help keep up with their IT inventory management.
Few businesses of any kind operate without equipment. For many organizations—hospitals, service companies, and communications firms, to name just a few—equipment is a chief investment essential to almost every employee’s role. And with applications of IT and other technology now supporting productivity in every industry, more and more expensive equipment is in use everywhere.
