Almost overnight, millions of people turned their living rooms, bedrooms, and dining rooms into makeshift offices. Companies across the globe had to quickly create a plan to continue business operations during the COVID-19 pandemic. Most organizations implemented a work from home strategy for non-essential personnel.
Many companies are now left wondering, “What comes next?” Businesses around the world have adapted to the growing challenges of managing their remote workers. Now companies are faced with the decision to either reopen offices or consider downsizing or even closing their physical office space.
Across the world, as office buildings in many major markets remain dark and silent, the office footprint is still a major overhead expense. The trend of working from home was already well under way but quick responses of businesses to adapt amid the pandemic further proved that remote work is not only feasible and acceptable but also more efficient in many cases. Because of this, the Economists predicts corporations in professional services will cut their real estate in half, if not more. Companies that are considering closing or downsizing their office space are faced with the decision of what to do with their critical data infrastructure and networking gear now that they do not have an office or a local IT staff.
