COVID-19 has shown us that we have the potential to adapt to anything life throws at us. Use our W@H Suite to support your remote workers.
COVID-19 has shown us that we have the potential to adapt to anything life throws at us – even a global-wide pandemic. Yet, many companies are not prepared to support their suddenly-remote staffs. And they need to – the resolution of COVID-19 will lead to a market that is even more competitive and that increasingly relies on transformative workforces like the gig economy, requiring companies to be more agile, flexible and creative.
That’s why Stefanini is offering the resources necessary to stay productive and keep workers connected during these trying times.
Working from Home
It’s clear today that your business needs to be able to train your team to work long distance. Further, you need the right tools to virtually ensure your employees are collaborating, understand what they need to do, and are motivated to work, among other expectations.
With many employees working on laptops and using their own devices, it would seem that from a technical standpoint, working from home is easy to support. Yet, it’s not as simple for some industries. Though remote workers may have access to corporate virtual private networks (VPNs) that allow them access to office networks, everyone working remotely requires more network bandwidth and expanded hardware to encrypt those connections.
At Stefanini, we have a wide depth of experience in providing remote support, both to our own employees and to our clients. With a focus on your business needs, we analyze pinpoints, identify opportunities, and co-create a workplace strategy customized for your business. Using our tools, you can set up your employees with all the platforms and applications they need to be successful while maintaining their health amidst this global pandemic.

Application Data Access
Access the physical office from anywhere. It’s especially crucial in these times for employees to have the VDI to access virtual interfaces, work from home, and access streaming applications anytime, anywhere. We provide three categories:
o Access to Virtual Desktop Applications: This solution can be applied for clients who require minimal hardware requirements for access. They are implemented using Amazon: AWS Workspaces and Microsoft: Azure Windows Virtual Desktop.
o Access to VPNS Concentration Applications: This quick-deployment solution allows for the creation of layers for new levels of security deployment.
o Access to Applications Streaming: This solution works well for customers who have legacy client and server applications that are now provided by a web interface, but have concerns about the personal devices set up for employees due to the generation of high demand (BYOD configuration). To implement, we use Amazon: AWS AppStream and Microsoft: Azure Windows Virtual Desktop.

The Future Workplace Is Here
The nature of work is rapidly changing and so are your employees’ demands. According to Gartner, by 2025, team tools and skills will change and co-evolve, digital dexterity will be closely measured, and learning will be connected, among other expectations. Yet, due to COVID- 19, we’re finding that these workplace changes have had to happen much more quickly than we anticipated. At Stefanini, we strive to be future-thinking and calculate workplace solutions before they’re needed – and we want to work with your business so you’re equally prepared. One of the best ways to anticipate changes is to understand the type of work environment you’re dealing with.
Gone are the days of the traditional workplace. Expect to see less and less:
- Physical offices
- Virtual teams
- Hierarchy team structure
- Limited automation in workplace
- Fixed cycle of employment – study, job, retirement
- Focus on work, dependency on office devices, starting of multichannel, multi device
- Physical presence in the office
Instead, look for:
- Virtual offices and smart offices
