Whether or not they are working in-house or on an as-needed basis, IT support is necessary for troubleshooting problems, choosing the best tech tools and products for each unique workplace situation, and more.
A hybrid IT team needs to be fluent in both in-office and remote support and our latest guide helps them do just that.

An office transformation should be approached as a complete revamp of your office space. Every room, space, and tech update should be considered. Simply put, if a space isn’t wired for collaboration (in-person and hybrid), it’s wasted space. And just because a space was wired pre-pandemic, doesn’t mean that it won’t need to undergo a few updates to be optimized for hybrid work.
A little inspiration can go a long way with reimagining spaces. Our guide breaks everything down, step-by-step — complete with diagrams — so your IT team has the knowledge they need to rewire every type of space.

When choosing the best technology for your hybrid teams, the biggest mistake you can make is assuming that they all have the same needs. Before following that impulse and providing them with baseline tech tools across the board, reach out to hybrid team leaders for their input.
For your tech stack, think with a growth mindset. Our guide helps you choose hardware (and software) that enables your team to accommodate any unknown future needs they may have as they return to the office.

As your company evolves, the tech you use to support hybrid teams should be scaling alongside you. But simply outfitting your newly flexible employees with the latest tech tools isn’t enough, you also need to rethink your office spaces to make them just as flexible as the employees who will be using them.
To ease the burden on your IT team during the return to office, create clear communication guidelines and defined roles. In our guide, you’ll find a checklist for your IT team so they feel supported in all their rewiring efforts.
