IT leaders are preparing for an extended period of remote work, signing up for new tools and letting go of those that aren’t adding value
By Sara Castellanos Close Sara Castellanos May 18, 2020 2:13 pm ET Information technology leaders at software companies including Dropbox Inc. and Elastic NV are preparing for an extended period of remote work, a process that involves signing up for some new workforce IT tools and culling others that seem superfluous.
“That’s a new emphasis that’s greater than it has been in the past,” Ms. Veilleux said at an online conference hosted last week by enterprise-technology venture-capital fund Work-Bench. MORE ON REMOTE WORKING Some executives say their workers will have the option to work remotely for the foreseeable future, even as local governments ease social distancing guidelines.
PREVIEWSUBSCRIBE Kim Huffman, vice president of global IT at Dutch open-source software company Elastic, said she would consider using a tool from Robin Powered Inc., a workplace scheduling software company, to help manage the return to the physical office for some employees. Elastic, with U.S. headquarters in Mountain View, Calif., has about 2,000 employees, of whom about 80% were already working remotely before the pandemic, she said.
