For as long as there have been workplaces, there’s been good reason for businesses to commit to workplace modernization. The reason why is straightforward – when you give people better technology, they work more efficiently every day, and they ultimately achieve more for your business.
But in the last year, that’s become more challenging. As more and more people have embraced remote work, IT has run into some roadblocks. Their people are distributed; their IT assets are distributed as well. And yet, they’re expected to deliver on the same goal as always – to manage the full lifecycle of their office technology.
Of course, this begins with getting people their devices in the first place, and that means that having a healthy supply chain needs to be a key focus. In fact, according to Supply Chain Digital, Gartner has said that leveraging the right technology to sustain the supply chain is going to be a key source of competitive advantage moving forward. Christian Titze, vice president analyst at Gartner, said that when companies right now invest in better methods of getting devices to their users in a timely fashion, it should deliver long-term value in the form of a competitive leg up over rival businesses.
Having said that, supply chain governance is a major concern right now. When you’ve got so many people scattered all over the world, and all of them need their IT, it’s not easy. Gartner sees this as a key priority for businesses right now – finding the necessary technology to smooth out wrinkles in the supply chain and keep the machine humming along.
“Gartner anticipates a wave of new solutions to emerge for supply chain security and governance, especially in the fields of privacy as well as cyber and data security,” Titze said. “Think advanced track-and-trace solutions, smart packaging, and next-gen RFID and NFC capabilities.”
The faster you can innovate when it comes to the supply chain, the sooner you can truly drive digital transformation.
