Seemingly simple digital moments, like checking into a flight, trigger a complex technical flow of events under the IT covers. A simple swipe or click relies on a complex IT ecosystem made up of millions of lines of code, spanning multiple software applications, hybrid and multi-cloud technologies, state-of-the-art IT infrastructure, security apps, and more.

For many of us, “working” is incredibly difficult right now. That’s true at the organizational level, where maintaining business continuity and accounting for changes in customer needs are even more critical. But it’s also true at the individual level, where the sudden shift to working from home has jolted us all into working in new ways, and made virtual collaboration an essential part of each workday.

Across Asia Pacific, “Real-Time Retail” and e-commerce have never been more essential to meet the expectations of always-on, connected customers than it is today. To be successful, e-retailers need to ensure high availability and functionality across complex, interconnected services such as payment gateways, inventory and order management, and website and mobile apps.

Coronavirus has been a shock to the system for many IT organizations that are traditionally accustomed to working together in person. When you’re in an office, you can often use informal methods of communication—like swinging by someone’s desk, calling them on their office extension, or even imparting critical information when you run into them in the company cafeteria.

A Network Operations Center (NOC) is a location from which IT support technicians can supervise, monitor, and maintain client networks and infrastructure. Because they act as a central nervous system for many organizations, NOCs are typically located in a central physical location. The global coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is an unprecedented situation that is creating new challenges for everyone—and that includes NOCs.

COVID-19 is forcing many teams into crisis mode, as they rush to meet customer and employee needs in our new socially distanced reality. Organizations with experienced crisis management teams are urgently adding capacity and adapting to distributed working models. And those who haven’t built crisis response teams before are grappling with how to rapidly train employees and get access to the right tools.

Social distancing measures, like remote working, school closures, and “shelter in place” have driven us onto the Internet more than ever before, creating unprecedented demand for a range of digital services from companies, many of whom weren’t set up for this type of pressure. As a digital operations company, we help teams ensure their websites and apps are running perfectly and partner with over 12,000 organizations around the world—from start-ups to 58 of the Fortune 100.

Yesterday, we released our earnings during an unprecedented time for society and the market. One of the things I noticed was the collective empathy we experienced as we talked to different teams and companies in preparation, and in our analyst call backs, where to a person, everyone kicked off their call by wishing each other good health and safety. It reminded me that when we are all in this together, not only are great things possible, but it also feels less daunting and more manageable.
