How Big Tech is Driving a Return to Work and How the World of Work Will Transform Along the Way

For this week’s episode of the Futurum Tech Webcast, analysts Shelly Kramer and Sarah Wallace discuss how the Future of Work has transformed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The tech industry has seen major announcements vendors regarding remote collaboration, workplace transformation and safety, and distance certification.

Their conversation includes a look at:

• Cisco Live’s Collaboration launch, which focuses on workplace transformation, helping IT transform to a ‘new normal,’ moves to enable seamless remote workflows with expanded integrations with productivity tools, enhanced security around collaboration, and more.

• HPEs return to work solutions announced during HPE’s Discoverevent, including touchless entry solutions, fever detection tech, workplace alerts, and some other really cool offerings.

• Siemens’ partnership with Salesforce on a new workplace technology suite that allows companies to safely return to work and some of the specifics of that offering.

We also discussed our thoughts on what’s ahead — the Future of Work world will require a transformation of the actual work that’s done, a transformation of the workplace, and a transformation of the workforce as well — and all that’s entailed there.

It was a fascinating discussion and we’re glad to have you as part of it.
