The Coronavirus’ Effect on the Computers, Hardware & Software Industry

The Coronavirus pandemic had a tremendous effect on the computers, software and hardware industry. Shelter-at-home orders had companies of all sizes scrambling to enable their employees to be effective on a remote basis. IT departments had to rapidly enable secure, stable remote access to data and tools to enter, analyze, share and use that data.

The Coronavirus compressed what would have been years of digital advancement and adoption into a few months’ time period. The virus boosted a number of trends that will continue to dominate the industry. Movement to the cloud will continue to accelerate. Before the onset of the virus, McKinsey & Company reported that only 20% of most businesses had shifted data from in-house servers to the cloud. That percentage radically changed and will continue to do so over the near to mid-term. Another area that will boom is automation technology. The use of artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics will increase rapidly as businesses look for ways to cut costs and to minimize business disruptions. This includes automation in warehouses and factories, as well as automation in services, such as call centers.
