BI Consolidation Roundup: Who is best positioned to win after the recent M&A activity?

COVID-19 has created a new normal: knowledge workers setting up their offices at home, juggling child care, homeschooling, and household chores even as they try to maintain and develop business relationships over video links. All this comes following years marked by declining employee engagement and rising levels of stress in the workplace. Now the sudden and unexpected shift to home working has caused unprecedented levels of disruption to the lives of workers. No surprise, most organizations were caught cold by the pandemic. The question now becomes, how can they support their teams as the world structurally shifts to a work-from-home model? Supporting the Distributed Workplace The COVID-19 pandemic has forced a scramble to upgrade and align central IT infrastructures—from security approaches and software deployment models to the adoption of user-facing solutions like intranets and workplace technologies like chat, file sharing, and digital whiteboards.
