The teleworking that has prevailed in most companies since March 2020 is here for good. After the urgent implementation of new working methods, it is time to continue operations in an efficient, safe and competitive manner. But what to do when the organization is now fragmented and the employees work independently?
“In our company, we were ready long before COVID-19,” says Alan Kezber, president of Kezber Expert TI. Our employees were already working with laptops, we exchanged documents via the secure cloud, we had eliminated phones in the office, and many meetings were conducted by video conference. The pandemic has allowed us to put into practice daily what we have been doing for a while. “
Mastery of IT, more essential than ever
Today, organizations must rethink the way they work, outsource processes, strengthen IT, share the corporate culture with employees far from each other, redesign their offices and adapt working hours to a new reality. Alan Kezber, who supports companies in their digital transformation, is experiencing the same challenges.
“Our employees appreciate the advantages offered by teleworking, such as the gain in efficiency and the fact of not having to live in traffic jams,” he explains. But they also know how to appreciate the advantages of face-to-face contact, such as team coordination, human contacts, the working atmosphere and even the corporate culture. “
In order to successfully integrate a new hybrid way of working and achieve objectives based on performance indicators, managers must take up a series of challenges: managing schedules, organizing meetings, sharing files, securing documents, supervision of teams … The digital transformation allows them to tackle these issues by facilitating the achievement of their objectives.
Rethink work without compromising safety
“Digital transformation is no easy task,” acknowledges Alan Kezber. It involves many resources and, it is normal, creates apprehensions. Adopting an agile methodology gradually and smoothly improves processes. “
For the founder of Kezber, it goes without saying that the implementation of new technological tools is not enough: we must ensure that all the key players in the organization adopt them.
The implementation of efficient IT makes it possible to bring together the members of the same team around a common objective by ensuring better communication and avoiding working in silos.
“However, we often forget the security issues,” says Alan Kezber. When you connect to the office network, it is for example possible to have a multi-factor authentication, as we do with Google, Facebook or Netflix. However, very few companies consider implementing this security in their system. “
While collaborative work and data sharing bring a lot of value to companies, security and best practices ensure a successful and lasting digital transformation that will allow them to remain competitive.
Cloud solutions optimize productivity
Whether it’s migrating applications to the cloud or integrating new technologies, such as business intelligence, you have to take the time to properly analyze the objectives. The development of tailor-made applications allows companies to equip themselves with scalable solutions that perfectly match their needs. These solutions then open the door to a range of proposals, such as marketing and management action tools, or the automation and optimization of processes.
“With cloud computing solutions, there is no server on site,” summarizes the president of Kezber. Everything is in the cloud! Automation enables dynamic growth and gives managers more time to go about their business. “
Kezber helps its clients to evolve and achieve excellence by providing them with cutting-edge technological services that exceed their expectations. A true center of innovation, Kezber supports Quebec companies in their digital transformation by providing them with scalable IT solutions adapted to their present reality and their future needs.
