Today’s CIOs need to equip their workforce with meeting solutions that leverage the latest technological advancements – including mobility, analytics and automation – to improve productivity and reduce cost and complexities. Today’s workforce is always on-the-go, yet business expectations have never been higher. International employees, remote workers and field staff are still expected to work at a faster pace than ever before. Collaboration can no longer be limited to the confines of an office.
Given this environment, what we discovered through a recent partnership with Ovum Research should come as no surprise: 2/3 of CIOs consider communications and collaboration to be mission-critical – and 76% plan to increase their investment in collaboration tools next year. What’s more, 93% of leaders agreed that incoming generation of digital natives have different needs and expectations that must be taken into account. These trends are forcing today’s businesses to adapt by laying a solid foundation that’s supportive of a diverse workforce.
