5G is expected to shape this decade and play a critical role in the digital economy for decades to come. And while it’s easy to get excited about breakneck download speeds and killer apps, 5G offers so much more for the corporate world. The 5G network being rolled out in a location near you ­and right across Australia is giving every business the opportunity to undergo wholesale digital transformation and adopt end-to-end digital capabilities.

Ensuring your people can connect, communicate, and collaborate quickly and easily to get work done wherever they are, has become a fundamental business requirement. So, it’s important to have the right tools (whether cloud vs on-premise UC) for the right people, with the right size of licensing and services arrangements in place.

During the time of COVID-19 when enterprise mobility and the benefits of flexible working have really come to the fore, never have mobile devices been more important. Of course, managing a fleet of mobile devices requires a solid time commitment and it can get complicated dealing with an upgrade and refresh cycle. There’s also the challenge of disposal. Where and how an organisation disposes of its old mobiles and other devices can have a significant commercial impact on the business, so it’s incredibly important to consider disposal options and mobile device recycling.

With ongoing digital disruption transforming everything in its path, businesses need to find a way to respond to changing customer expectations. Whether embarking on or continuing a digital transformation journey, one thing is clear, digital transformation is now a matter of survival for many businesses.

With so many employees forced to work from home during the COVID-19 pandemic, cloud computing has kept many of them productive. Using cloud technologies such as software-as-a-service apps like Unified-Communications-as-a-Service (UCaaS) has enabled businesses to smoothly scale up and down and support enterprise mobility. It has allowed employees to securely connect to the corporate network and collaborate using their preferred communication channels from home on their own devices.
