Cloud Computing Market - COVID-19 Impact
The unplanned rush to remote working because of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic means companies and governments have had to rely on technology to keep their operations running as offices lay empty. Cloud services suppliers – notably Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Alibaba, and IBM – had to step up and bear the brunt of a transformed business landscape.
So far, they have proved equal to the challenge and, in the space of just a few weeks, spurred a change in the way some businesses operate. Companies that would never have contemplated allowing their employees to work from home have been forced to rethink their opposition as cloud services delivered collaboration on a massive scale.
The COVID-19 crisis has highlighted several examples of processes that can be digitized and virtualized. Google has told job seekers that, to protect candidates’ and interviewers’ health and well-being, it will conduct all interviews virtually via Google Hangouts for the foreseeable future. Corporate video conferencing is enabling both legal and medical case discussions, while telemedicine is being used to provide COVID-19 remote diagnosis and treatment. The telemedicine industry, which is wholly enabled by secure cloud technologies, has been kick-started by COVID-19.
