El cambio al trabajo a distancia representa una mayor digitalización del lugar de trabajo, y es cada vez más probable que Apple juegue un papel más importante en este cambio de paradigma. Hablé con Alcyr Araujo, CEO del proveedor de soluciones MDM de Apple Mosyle, para tener una idea de los próximos cambios en la cultura del lugar de trabajo.</p><h2>Apple y el lugar de trabajo del futuro</h2><p>Araujo ciertamente ve a Apple ocupando más espacio de la compañía y cree que la compañía está en condiciones de crecer más en el futuro. Apostó su negocio a eso.
The biggest transformation in corporate culture over the past year has been the backbone of working from home. While some employers apparently insist on forcing people back to the office, this phase is likely to pass, if only because workers will start voting with their feet.
“The most difficult point of change will come from a cultural change in how and where we work,” Araujo said. "As more companies, like Spotify and Salesforce, embark on work-from-anywhere (WFA) strategies over the next year, IT teams will need to adapt to provide the access, security, and connectivity remote workers need. ".
The benefit to him and others in the space is that as Apple's presence grows, "IT teams adopt new Apple-specific enterprise solutions to remotely deploy, manage and secure devices at scale. "We know that employee choice programs make sense in many ways. In 2019, IBM CIO Fletcher Previn highlighted the benefits in terms of employee productivity and retention, once again reaffirming that the TCO of Apple platforms is lower (and support load lighter) compared to others.
We also know, as the BYOD trend has shown, that workers value the autonomy of being able to choose the tools they use. Apple's ease of use, inherent security, and familiarity are fueling industry growth. Some argue that choice in IT becomes a HR factor.
To support remote work, Apple-focused MDM and endpoint security solutions are becoming mandatory, ushering in the new era of remote help desk support. Founded in 2012, Mosyle started out in the education market and later moved into business. A cloud-based approach is needed for Apple MDM.
As the workplace becomes increasingly digital, what we do at work is also driven by data. This data means that automation and artificial intelligence are playing an increasingly important role in the workplace, from Industry 4.0 implementations to the use of digital twins and RPA.
There's a lot of innovation that tech evangelists like Araujo say will give employees more flexibility and improve their lives.
"RPA helps streamline boring and repetitive tasks, so employees don't have to do them," he said. “Digital twin technology can help capture data in real time, create digital representations of products in the field, and analyze how changes might produce the product. best. And AI has the potential to discover information and help predict responses so humans can work faster and smarter.
“I think it's like using technology to improve people's lives. That's why our solutions are designed with automation in mind. By consolidating and automating tasks, we can reduce the time and complexity IT professionals experience managing fleets of Apple devices. "Many remain reluctant to embrace greater automation in data-centric organizations, and new workspaces that do so must always be people-centric.
Technology has its place, but human "soft skills" like critical thinking, problem solving, and communication will continue to be needed. “We may have to adapt how we did these things when we were all in offices, but they will still be important in a distant world,” he said.
