2022 Business Predictions: Heath Roberts, Operations Director at Axess Systems

It’s that time of year, when Business Link Magazine invites the region’s business leaders to offer up their predictions for the year ahead. 

It has become something of a tradition, given that we’ve been doing this now for over 30 years.

Here we speak to Heath Roberts, Operations Director at Denby-based Axess Systems, who shares his thoughts on remote working in 2022.

One of the best things about our industry is it gives us a real insight into how the world of work is evolving, through the demands of our clients.

Before Covid, our order book showed us that staff coming into the office on their daily commute and sitting at a desk was still set to be the norm for the vast majority of companies. This meant their IT needs were, by and large, focussed on the technology being consumed on their premises.

However, so much has changed over the past year and with the PM advising us to work from home again – if we can – remote working or, once restrictions ease, hybrid working, will continue in 2022.

There has been a huge rise in businesses implementing the remote working solutions we supply at Axess Systems, working with Citrix, Microsoft and Dell Technologies, to deliver a digital workspace which allows staff to securely work from anywhere, on any device and any network. And these enquiries will, I predict, increase further in 2022.

While initially we saw large organisations implement remote working systems, SMEs are now getting on board, finding that there are cost-effective options available for them too and, rather than spending thousands of pounds upfront on servers and storage, the company can pay for what it uses monthly.

This will be a big deal in 2022 and beyond. This is the future of work, whether or not the virus stays around, and we all need to start prepping now. Whatever the eventuality.
