The modern digital workplace has been revolutionized by digital transformation, leading to significant changes in the way people work. Today, many employees, particularly Gen X and millennials, desire the flexibility to work from any part of the world. They also have unique work schedules and work hours tailored to their lifestyles or to collaborate with colleagues in different parts of the world. This new way of working has transformed the traditional workplace, allowing for increased flexibility, efficiency, and collaboration, and is constantly evolving to accommodate new advancements in technology.

 

The Cloud answers to these unique requirements.

 

The cloud has revolutionized the way businesses operate by transforming traditional workplaces into a mobile-centric and cloud-connected environment. This lift and shift have enabled the workforce to use a diverse mix of personal and company-owned apps and devices that rely on cloud storage, resulting in greater flexibility and accessibility of information. Two of the most important aspects of the digital workplace are cloud and mobile services, which have removed geographical barriers from collaboration and processes, allowing company information to be available remotely 24/7.

 

A digital work environment can enhance its operations using available technologies and improve employee engagement, teamwork, content management, business processes and productivity. According to Gartner, 39% of knowledge workers will work in the hybrid mode by the end of 2023. Additionally, 86% of workers have reported that mobile technology helped them increase their work performance. The percentage of knowledge workers to be reclassified as mobile, cloud workers is set to go higher than the projected 48% in 2020. These numbers evidently highlight the impact of technology on a digital workplace powered by a cloud environment and its consistent success.

 

The available technologies can expand the horizon of a digital workplace and aid in increasing productivity, improving content management and business processes. To achieve this, organizations need to adapt cloud, cloud computing and mobile technologies to build a flexible workplace that promotes better employee experience, efficiency, and a competitive advantage.

 

Here is a list of popular digital workplace initiatives that businesses can execute:

  • A digital workplace that replaces paper processes with digital workflows
  • Efficient tools for information management, such as cloud file sharing and electronic archives
  • Software for managing records that can automatically forward reports to the appropriate repository, replacing physical filing
  • Tools for booking conference rooms or conducting video conferences, including asynchronous video platforms
  • Online calendars that can sync with multiple accounts and platforms
  • Single sign-on (SSO) capabilities
  • Digital tools for team collaboration, such as instant messaging
  • Leveraging the cloud- public cloud service (Google Cloud), private (AWS) or hybrid cloud (Oracle) to implement a digital workplace that meets your organization’s technological needs

 

But migrating applications to the cloud at scale while ensuring optimal application performance and security can be tedious and complex. Consider these tips before transforming your workplace:

 

Formulate a Strategy

Assess your current IT landscape and create an appropriate digital workplace strategy to migrate applications and on-premises workloads. Your plan should be in-line with previously identified business objectives and budgeting considering cloud costs. If you lack planning, you won’t be able to set the correct expectations with your stakeholders and may face technical issues in the long run for your application migration strategy. Consult with an expert before taking any big leaps in the process of moving your workloads to the cloud.

 

Engage an Expert

Choose an expert who matches your requirements. Migration is the process which should be preferably done by a cloud service provider that has delivered expected outcomes to organizations of your size, talk to companies you trust, or ask for customer references.

 

Choose Convenience

A cloud platform with a ready-built solution to combine key product features into customizable channels should be your first choice. Don’t take up designing and building solutions from scratch. Doing this will be a complex, expensive, and time-consuming process.

 

Be Legally Compliant

When planning a move to the cloud, security and compliance should be on the top of your to-do list. Your organization’s data center, data security needs and any legal liabilities should be the foundation on which you take any important steps and decisions. Your cloud provider should be updated about the developments in privacy laws that impact your business and should commit to confidentiality in its methods for securing your data.
