  • Adopting a remote workforce model allows companies to save money by not leasing large office spaces.
  • The technology to work from home has been available for quite some time. And while it’s been used casually in the workplace, coronavirus has required businesses to become more comfortable with this technology.
    • Bandwidth is fast, available, and affordable.
    • 5G will be faster than any internet service you can get in your home.
    • GSuite, Microsoft Office 365, and Zoom make it possible to collaborate without being face to face.
