About This Gorilla Guide Webisode

IT pros are used to requests seemingly at odds with reality, but rarely are such requests more necessary than what many have dealt with in recent weeks.  As countries, counties, cities, schools, businesses, and organizations of all shapes and sizes come to grips with their own current realities, many are turning to IT in a desperate bid to ensure ongoing business continuity.

Many organizations have plans to support some level of a remote workforce, but, as we’re discovering, these plans didn’t often include essentially abandoning on-premises environments and pushing the entire workforce into remote offices and homes basically overnight.  Even as companies shut down their facilities, IT pros are working overtime to figure out how best to support this shifting paradigm.

As former IT pros and CIOs ourselves, ActualTech Media’s principals truly understand what everyone is facing, from decision makers to IT pros, and we wanted to find a way that we could provide some assistance to members of our extended technology community.

ActualTech Media is engaging IT vendors and independent experts, including ourselves, to provide actionable advice that we’ll intersperse during the event to ensure that all attendees walk away from this event with broad knowledge that may help them more quickly solve the key challenges that they are facing.
