As many teams remain remote, organizations are relying on technology now more than ever to stay connected and deliver for their clients. This trend has implications for organizational culture, productivity, collaboration, and risk mitigation. designDATA is at the forefront of this movement, identifying the issues and business impacts and partnering with clients to deploy solutions.
“From a business development perspective, we work to deeply understand the goals and challenges of the communities we serve and ensure alignment between our solutions, service delivery model, and the needs of our market. We are extremely disciplined about ensuring we are the best fit to deliver the outcomes prospective clients expect prior to moving a partnership forward,” explained Erik. “We believe it is the role of the managed service provider to empower teams to do their best work, and training is a big part of that. The extent to which staff are comfortable and confident using their technology is the extent to which they can use their full potential for the benefit of those they serve. We are excited to continue working with our clients to identify roadblocks and deliver solutions for an increasingly distributed and hybrid workforce.”
