13 Oct, 2020
Cloud-based communications and collaboration solutions prove effective for virtual work environments, Frost & Sullivan finds
SARASOTA, FL -- Oct. 13, 2020 -- For many businesses, COVID-19 was a wakeup call that revealed a lack of operational preparedness when access to physical office spaces became limited. Star2Star, a global leader in cloud-native collaboration solutions for the enterprise, recently worked with Frost & Sullivan to examine the long-term thinking businesses need to carefully design work-from-anywhere strategies.
The report, “Digital Transformation is No Longer Optional—It is Imperative” discusses the immediate needs companies have for connecting geographically dispersed teams. It also assesses how Unified Communications-as-a-Service (UCaaS) solutions support both the short-term goal of remote collaboration, as well as long-term goals to incorporate work-from-anywhere technologies and tools to enable effective organizational transformation and business continuity.

- Long-term strategies must also accommodate work from anywhere—not just employee homes, but also coffee shops, hotel rooms, airports, and other locations.
- Natural disasters like the global pandemic are compelling organizations to adopt cloud services, mobility, artificial intelligence (AI), and other advanced technologies to drive success during both economic expansion and recessions.
- To future-proof technology investments and prepare for intensifying competition in all industries, businesses are moving mission-critical communications and collaboration workloads to the cloud.
- Evolving health and business considerations require open communications platforms that can easily adapt to a business’ evolving communications strategy.
