The COVID-19 pandemic has brought a mix of blessings and curses to the world of technology. Some companies, such as those that specialize in video conferencing, have proven lifesavers, allowing the business to operate, and sometimes thrive, while working remotely. Others, however, like developer shops that build lighting control systems for theaters, have faced a world in which demand for their services has plummeted, sometimes to zero. While it's a bit early to know what changes in IT usage and tactics will remain permanent, we can find out which businesses are currently thriving and likely will continue to do so even after the pandemic has subsided. One of the most significant changes will affect office workers, who already make up much of the tech economy. Many companies are already reporting that they will no longer require employees to report to the office every business day. They are embracing remote work, signaling that it will be the new normal. The time and real estate savings are too great to ignore. Hybrid schedules, in which people meet in person multiple times a week, month or quarter, will also be part of an experimental workplace mix. Below is an overview of the technology categories and strategies that have benefited from changes brought about by the COVID-19 crisis and are likely to be rethought post-pandemic.
