The work-from-anywhere trend has become the new normal, and new networking technologies and methodologies are needed to sustain it. After 16-plus months of dealing with the pandemic, more than half of Americans want to continue working remotely, and two-thirds of companies may render their work-from-home (WFH) policies permanent, according to research from IBM. Many customers and prospects also are looking to equip their workforces with technology solutions that enable more flexible work arrangements, such as hoteling, where workers dynamically schedule their use of office workspaces, computers and conferencing systems. As a result, the modern workplace is becoming a hybrid environment where work is no longer defined as a place one goes, but rather it’s about the activities one does.
