Coronavirus and Working Remotely in the Cloud
The World Health Organization (WHO) recently classified the Coronavirus (COVID-19) as a global pandemic outbreak. Each passing day brings continued news of venue closures, various “States of Emergency”, country closures, travel bans, concert festival postponements and crowdless sporting events. Two impactful changes have been with Colleges and Universities moving all classes to a mandatory on-line format as well as widespread company closures. This change drastically increases the demand for an immediate remote office for thousands of employees across the United States. Companies are sending their entire workforce home to work. College students are scrambling to make sure they are setup to remotely view their class lectures. These are all great ideas to help slow the spread and gain ground on the containment of this highly virulent virus, yet some companies and institutions simply do not have the infrastructure in place to enable students, professors and employees to comply.

Many say that the media has spun this situation and created a panic frenzy. Most consumers believe that the Coronavirus is just like the flu, however it is not. We see the number of cases increasing each day, we learn more and we make the appropriate changes to protect ourselves and those around us. We do know that this is a highly contagious and invasive respiratory virus that can cause pneumonia in the average person and possible death in elderly and those with a compromised health status. This is why extreme measures such as self quarantine, working from home and on-line college classrooms are the new norm for the immediate future. Businesses must implement alternative plans (disaster prevention) in the event of global pandemics, earthquakes, fire, flooding and other “disasters” to keep afloat, which is why working in the cloud using Cloud Solutions is so widely popular. It’s only a matter of time before your boss or local government suggests that everyone work from home to help decrease the spread of Coronavirus and working in the cloud will be one of the few ways that businesses can move forward during this crisis.
The current reality is that companies will cut labor, ask staff to work remotely, or close for weeks at a time. The good news is that there is a quick solution that can keep you working by utilizing Cloud Solutions. Your company can continue to work as usual while following the recommendations made by the CDC and the WHO to minimize public exposure.
