Work from home or remote working is not new. People have been working remotely for a long time. However, the recent COVID-19 outbreak has forced companies to switch to remote working very quickly. Today, millions of people across the globe are adjusting to remote work and learn new things.

A recent Microsoft report on Microsoft Team says that they have seen a new daily record of 2.7 billion meeting minutes in one day, a 200 percent increase from 900 million on March 16. And as students and teachers turn to Teams for distance learning, there are 183,000 tenants in 175 countries using Teams for Education. They have also seen total video calls in Teams grow by over 1,000 percent in the month of March 2020.

As the businesses transition to remote work and learn, the migration may go reasonably well in a short time. However, there are many challenges, including employee productivity, security, and compliance, that business managers need to be aware of. To be successful in the long-term, customers need to adopt a structured approach coupled with significant investment and corporate culture change.
