What Technology is Retail Prioritising in 2024?
We take a look at which technologies mid-market retail IT leaders are prioritising in 2024 and what they are focusing their investment on.
HYBRID WORKING SOLUTIONS
As more employees work from home, in the field and while travelling between sites, you need to be sure that workforce productivity doesn’t drop. Offsite user experience must be just as good as onsite, and corporate culture just as strong as if you were together in one office. Our hybrid workplace solutions provide your workforce with the IT services and infrastructure they need to get the job done, wherever they are.
WHAT IS A HYBRID WORKPLACE?
A hybrid workplace approach combines both office-based and remote working, providing employees with greater flexibility and balance. In such a setup, workers often experience enhanced independence and improved work-life harmony, leading to increased engagement. For employers, this translates to a more efficient, content and consistent team.
To effectively implement this approach, robust IT support becomes crucial. With the integration of cloud services and heightened security measures, the complexities of managing a modern hybrid workspace can escalate. Node4, through its digital transformation services, is equipped to address these intricacies, ensuring seamless operations and safeguarding crucial business data.
HOW CAN YOU DESIGN A HYBRID WORKPLACE WITH NODE4 HYBRID WORKPLACE SOLUTIONS?
Even if your organisation falls within the small percentage that wants everyone back in the office, all of the time, your users are increasingly expecting flexible hybrid working. They want to access business data in the field and engage in collaborative work with colleagues, while travelling between sites and catch up on emails at home. You need to enable your more complex, hybrid workforce to work productively. This means closing the gap between in-office and off-site user experience with effective hybrid workplace solutions and network architecture support.

Implementing appropriate processes and technologies for effective remote collaboration was high on the Stagecoach agenda.
