Why the office is not dead

The office is dead — long live working from home! Or so many people would have you believe. At Sungard Availability Services we too have heard the questions around the Workplace Recovery services we’ve been providing for over 40 years; but we’ve also heard this before—with assertions that the advent of cloud computing would kill off specialist technology providers as everyone went to public cloud.

We certainly won’t pretend that the workforce dynamic will go back to the way it was, but the key traits of a proven, resilient workforce don’t change: Agility, Adaptability and Flexibility.
