Telecommuting, teleworking or working from home (WFH) was starting to grow in acceptance prior to COVID-19. For businesses, working from home brings about flexibility in employing a workforce unconstrained by geographical boundaries. Driven by the key advantage of being able to work from anywhere and at any time, it is also seen as a dream move for employees.
When the pandemic struck, the dream came true for many. However, it also turned out to be a nightmare for enterprises that were not ready for telecommuting.
How can they monitor staff well-being and productivity? How can they ensure the security of the corporate network with so many accessing remotely? And how can they keep the WFH devices secured and free from virus?
Like it or not, WFH is here to stay. A Gartner study shows that 48 percent of employees will work remotely in the post-pandemic world at least some of the time compared to 30 percent pre-pandemic.
This shift towards remote work requires a relook at the way enterprises tackle IT asset and security management, and employee productivity.
Hitachi’s JP1 work from home solution provides the answer to these challenges. With JP1, PC operations logs are put together for IT managers to visualize and analyze PC usage.
Understand actual hours against contractual hours through monitoring of device usage. This visualization enables managers to view actual work time based on PC usage, thus helping them identify active hours against deliverables and contractural hours.
JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 is a web-based solution that enables you to manage your IT assets and security centrally. It aids the organization to take speedy measures to enhance internal control by enforcing company-wide IT compliance with the IT policies such as governing software licenses. JP1/ITDM2 efficiently supports IT asset management operations to promote corporate compliance through a centralized collection of information.
Confidential information can be wrongfully taken outside of the company and leaked during information sharing by related parties. JP1/HIBUN was developed with various information leakage risks in mind and offers robust security that safeguards information from the perspective of regulation and encryption. Since JP1/HIBUN allows security measures initiated by administrators which are not reliant on user judgment, JP1/HIBUN not only avoids information removal for unauthorized use but also reduces the risk of accidental information leakage that can occur during the sending and receiving of data or other types of work.
