Webinar: How to Enhance your Firm’s Technology Experience: Talent, Remote Work, Security and More

This webinar was held on Thursday, June 30, 2022.
Sponsor: Cetrom
Duration: 1 Hour

Over the past two years, we have witnessed technology serve as a powerful enabler. Firms that have adopted the “new normal” have accelerated; maximizing performance and flexibility, enabling scalable growth, retained, and gained staff, improved bottom lines from reduced operating costs, and enhanced overall customer experience.

Following the tectonic shift to remote work, firms find themselves no longer limited to any one geographical location. Offering a flexible work from anywhere environment to help promote work-life balance, including the technology experience to support those needs, plays a key role in talent recruitment and retention, office moves, mergers, and acquisitions, and sets the groundwork for more strategic IT planning and growth.

During this webinar, we will arm you with tips and best practices you can bring back to your firm to better support a flexible workforce, manage your IT security, and enhance your technology experience for both your staff and your customers.

• Outsourcing Talent & How Cloud Can Help
• How to Support & Maintain a Hybrid Work Model
• Tips & Best Practices to Manage IT security
• Where Do We Go from Here? IT Solutions to Consider

Program level: Basic (no prerequisites required).
