This report is available to those subscribed to the IoT & Enterprise module.
Covid-19 has compelled businesses to accelerate their digital transformation plans and embrace remote and hybrid working. As we enter the third year since the advent of Covid-19, assessing shifting working patterns is more important than ever before.
