For over a year now, organizations big and small, across every industry, have grappled with radical disruption. We all know the story. Virtually overnight, organizations faced an immediate transition from their standard operating approach to a completely remote model. This created ripple effects across IT organizations as they deciphered how to scale secure remote access to their networks, maintain critical business operations, and enable collaboration and innovation from anywhere.

Now as we enter a new phase of the future of work, companies are evaluating technologies to help them not only return to office safely, but also invest rapidly in digital-first models. In fact, 75 percent of companies in the U.S. now plan to accelerate their technology transformation.
