As hybrid work becomes the norm, businesses are facing increasing pressure to adopt cloud-first solutions that offer both flexibility and security for their distributed teams. To meet these evolving needs, mobco has forged a strategic partnership with ChromeOS, combining forces to deliver powerful, cloud-centric solutions designed for modern work environments.
In response to the pandemic, businesses were forced to rapidly adapt by deploying remote workers and establishing distributed workforces, with employees working from home, in the office, and in the field. As a result, employee expectations have shifted dramatically, with many now seeking the flexibility to work from anywhere, at any time. According to recent studies from Forrester, 90% of employers intend to maintain continue to offer some form of hybrid work to meet these expectations.
However, enabling hybrid and remote work requires more than just flexibility, it necessitates a fundamental shift in how IT infrastructure is managed. To support this new model, IT administrators need modern, cloud-first solutions that work seamlessly across any location. These solutions must equip employees with tools that can quickly be deployed, foster collaboration, and provide strong security. Additionally, they should synchronise customisations and policies across devices, enable remote management, and keep operational costs under control to be truly effective.
Cloud-First IT: The Future of Hybrid Work
As businesses continue to embrace the challenges of hybrid and remote work, security, employee productivity, and cloud adoption have become top priorities. According to Forrester research, over 75% of IT leaders report that the shift to hybrid and remote work has accelerated their organisation’s adoption of cloud technologies and cloud-based applications.
However, the success of hybrid and remote work depends on more than cloud adoption alone; it hinges fundamentally on having the right endpoints in place. Cloud-first devices are crucial to ensuring employees remain productive, regardless of their location. These devices must deliver robust security, seamless integration with cloud platforms, and user-friendly management features to support ongoing productivity and collaboration. As businesses look to the future, investing in these solutions is essential for keeping employees connected, secure, and efficient in any work environment.
