Drivers of the Market:

Rise of telecommuting

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the way organizations operate around the world. As the virus spread rapidly, lockdowns and restrictions were imposed by various governments to curb its spread. This led many businesses to adopt work from home policies for their employees almost overnight. While telecommuting was not new, it was adopted on a massive scale for the first time due to the circumstances.

Organizations realized during this period that remote working can be just as productive as working from the office and does not necessarily impact work output and quality. In fact, some firms reported improved productivity levels from remote employees. Employees also appreciated the flexibility and convenience offered by working from home. It reduced their travel time and costs while allowing them to maintain a work-life balance.

As restrictions ease in many parts of the world, some businesses have now made telecommuting a permanent fixture. They allow flexible work options to employees where they can work from home for a few days every week. This is expected to become a standard practice across various industries going forward. As more companies adopt hybrid or full-time remote setups, there is an increasing demand for remote desktop software that allows employees to access enterprise applications, systems, servers, and workstations from any location.

These software solutions help enterprises securely connect their remote workforce to corporate networks. They provide easy access to critical data, files, business applications and collaboration tools which are needed for employees to be as productive while working offsite as they are in office. With work from home becoming a prominent part of the new normal, remote desktop software are anticipated to see increased adoption globally among businesses to support their distributed and hybrid work models.
