Work From Home

Since the emergence of novel coronavirus, or Covid-19, many businesses have had to adjust their business strategies and processes, shifting the focus away from central offices to home services for both customers and employees. This reduces to a minimum the chances of exposure to the virus but puts pressure on IT departments to keep work and working safe.

For those working in financial services the situation is multifaceted, with retail customers and small businesses needing help to secure their futures. Are banks giving customers the experiences they need? For corporate and investment clients there may be significant opportunities as the markets lurch between record falls and gains.
