Challenging times, innovate now

If ever there was a time to innovate, then that time is now.

Covid-19 has dispersed workforces, emptied offices and cities, enforced home working arrangements and dictated new ways of doing business.

A recession has arrived, its impact sure to be revealed over the coming months and years.

And Brexit looms. A known unknown. It’s coming, but just how will this be felt across the UK and what will the longer-term implications be?

Whilst this outlook is, to a large extent, quite gloomy, at the very least it presents major challenges to almost all organisations and we all need to prepare now.

Critically we need to be agile, to be able to respond to events as they arise; to maintain or even improve the quality of our work; to better utilise resources and increase productivity whilst protecting the health and wellbeing of our staff; to reduce unnecessary overheads and ensure investment is rightly targeted at solutions that will help us not only survive, but succeed.

Whatever we do should not be a short term, knee jerk attempt to cope with the here and now. It should:

·        be strategic;

·        be long term;

·        be an evolution that ensures we meet the demands of today;

·        anticipate the challenges of tomorrow; and,

·        create more rewarding and beneficial work for us all.

Inevidesk provides a platform to do just this.

The virtualised nature of our desktops immediately enables your teams to work from anywhere with a net connection, linking homes, offices, sites and those in transit. Moving desktops to a centralised resource and displacing fixed workstations allows you to reduce the size of your office, making significant overhead savings in rent, business rates and utilities.

These changes could also make your staff happier with the promise of less commuting, a better work/life balance, the prioritisation of their health and the ability to work from wherever they choose. And a happier workforce is one that is more productive; less travel and less distraction will mean opportunities are not lost when inspiration strikes.

We have calibrated our vdesks specifically for professionals working in the AEC industry to maintain high performance and quality of work no matter where your workforce is based.

Our pricing structure is sensible and equitable to the price of a workstation over a three-year period. This means it won’t cost you much more than you pay now for hardware, and any investment made in Inevidesk is far outweighed by the savings and improved productivity it enables.

The provision of our service in ‘pods’ allows a phased implementation and a potential strategy to move all infrastructure to the cloud.

The near future looks pretty tough right now. But we can stay connected. We can innovate to meet every challenge. And we can evolve through this time of adversity to become so much better at what we do.
