Pillow Talk - Episode 3 - Overcoming the complexities of a cloud-first remote working culture

Written by Core Newsroom | Jun 18, 2020 8:14:48 AM

Core's exclusive research report, The Sleep Habits of IT Professionals, gives unique insight into what it's like to work in IT in the UK, in 2020. 

A few months ago, we commissioned a survey of more than 250 IT professionals to find out how they felt working in IT impacted their life; what effect did it have on their sleep habits? Do they feel they have a good work/life balance? What aspects of the job do they find most stressful?

Just over two months later the results are in, and we've compiled them in our brand new report. The aim? To identify how we can help relieve stress and lessen the burden on both individuals working in IT and whole IT teams through the implementation of innovative technology. 

In our Pillow Talk video series, we'll be chatting about the most significant report findings and addressing the issues that most IT professionals said cause them the most concern and stress, with the aim of helping them sleep better at night and improving productivity during the day.

In this episode, Core's Client Solutions Director, Eamon McGann, chats with our Chief Commercial Officer about overcoming the complexities that come with working in a cloud-first, remote working world, including:

  • Addressing the cynicism that can exist around cloud - are the stresses of on-premise IT simply moved to the cloud?
  • What are the benefits of using a Managed Services Provider to help manage business as usual activity.
  • Can a cloud-first model help overcome the challenges of remote working?
