As the pandemic circled the globe it quickly became evident that organizations needed to react rapidly to enable their teams to begin working remotely.

As the world begins to assimilate the new reality of remote working into daily life, 我们必须问问自己, can things go back to the way they were? Or, has all that we’ve been through opened the door to the possibility of a new normal, 也许是更好的常态.

当需要 业务连续性 成为真正的, companies were forced to react quickly to enable their teams to work from home and maintain something that resembled ‘normal’ in their daily work life. The companies that succeeded in a seamless transition to the new remote working situation sought out a solution where employees could easily download an app and have 21st century communications and collaboration at their fingertips. And, for some it was almost that easy.

Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise was ready when the call came. We jumped into action with a 业务连续性 offering that has provided 成千上万 of 阿尔卡特-朗讯彩虹™ 向客户免费提供许可证. This program has enabled ALE customers to quickly implement the remote working environments that they needed to keep employees safe and continue to operate through this challenging time.

Following are just some of the types of organisations around the world leveraging the Rainbow platform to ensure 业务连续性 during these troubling times:

• An official IT partner of a major European city requested 10,000张牌照，帮助市民, companies, visitor, 和学生, 都住在城里, to better engage with city officials

• A South Asian National Army is utilizing 1,000 licenses to enhance its internal communications

• A South African research and development facility have requested more than 3,000 licences to ensure 业务连续性 during the coming months

• A local government branch of a leading European city with over one and a half million constituents have 2,000 licences to enable staff to work remotely during the recent pandemic 

• A major South American household electronics retailer have implemented more than 2,500 licences to facilitate remote working and ensure employees can continue to work from safe locations

• A school district in North America have requested approximately 1,000 licences to continue to deliver remote classes to students

• A hospital in South America is deploying 1,000 licences across all departments to offer more secure, effective, and manageable internal communication processes

With more than 50% of ALE employees—which quickly escalated to 100%—working from home prior to the pandemic, we had the experience and expertise to help our customers respond rapidly and keep their businesses running in this new work from home (#WFH) environment.

While it’s an understatement to say that ‘much’ has changed over the last few months, as organizations around the globe undertake the task of re-opening, 我们不得不问, has remote working become YOUR ‘new normal’?
