Over the past several months, the world has changed immensely. Whether it be how we interact with others or the changes we had to make to feel safe, the COVID-19 pandemic has changed our world. While this realization is quite apparent, people don’t realize how different the future will be once we have passed through these hard times. As people, we will undoubtedly be different consciously or subconsciously, but our most significant change will be in business. Many businesses have struggled through these times, but what is the most critical factor that has helped them stay organized and manageable? Technology.

Over the past couple of decades, technology has become more critical in the business world, and companies have adapted to permanent changes. However, as COVID-19 has forced us to make a significant jump in our technology use, we may begin to see this as the new norm for two reasons: comfort and financial logic. Beyond the prevalence of COVID, people are going to be more and more cautious. Individuals will be more afraid of germs and may elect to keep things virtual in any situation that allows it’s using, for example, online shopping. In this year’s first quarter, Amazon saw a 26 percent jump in sales due to COVID. While that number has slightly decreased since the opening of stores, there are many reasons to conclude that these numbers will remain high, including a second wave. Customers desire to leave their house less as much as possible after months of quarantine. Nonetheless, people love technology because it is efficient. Why would I choose to visit a doctor to renew a prescription when I can arrange a tele-visit from my home’s comfort? Why would I go through the hassle of picking up my new IKEA couch, when I can simply have it delivered right to my door? Consumers have fallen even more in love with technology than before, and s

With the utilization of technology, businesses have seen increased efficiency that won’t change any time soon. Employees can sell more products and see more customers, in many cases, while sitting in their own homes. For example, doctors who have been providing tele-visits during the pandemic give the same service, but they are doing so in a much more timely manner. They are completing their appointments through phone calls and video calls, digitizing the company and, therefore, becoming more efficient. As a result, this means you can get rid of paper practices and have a secure and more organized software system that allows you to stay connected with your company anywhere and at any time. Is this something that your company has done? If not, then it’s time to change.
