Workplace

            IT has organised our workplaces with maximum efficiency. Almost all private and public sectors either have their own
            IT department or they outsource it to provide higher-quality products or services. Some of the main application of IT
            at workplace are listed below:
            •  Virtual offices are a new trend to reduce the administrative costs with a higher degree of flexibility and efficiency,
            •  In offices, laptops and PCs are interconnected using Local Network and Internet for efficient flow of information at
              different levels.
            •  Data creation, presentation, analysis using different software tools have become an integral part of office work.
            •  In some companies, the reception staff is replaced by answering telephones to take messages, due to messaging
              services and cellular technology.
            •  Some of the daily repetitive jobs can be easily automated by using customised hardware and software tools.
            •  Using emails, blogs, online forums, websites to be in touch with the emerging technologies and other competitive
              companies in the market.
            •  Online meetings, video conferencing, and online workshops have become new normal in professional workplaces.
            •  ‘Work from home’ and ‘work from anywhere’ is only possible through the implementation of the latest information
              and communication technologies. This COVID time has brought our workplace to our homes.
