Summary
The shift towards remote work hurt many businesses because they ignored IT advice for years. Companies like Basecamp and Daylite worked remotely from the start and were fine. To avoid being out of pocket or out of work, make sure your tech is future proof and get the right advice from IT pros. Don’t pick the wrong tools and then say remote work isn’t working.

As you know, for the past few years, the world has gone into a bit of a transformation. There’s been lots going on. I’m not going to go into it. But it’s kind of hurt pretty much every business, specifically small businesses like yours and mine.
But what’s happened actually with that transformation is that everyone started working remotely. Now, that’s been great for people like me in a way. Because obviously these people who work remotely actually need help, need the right tools, need the right resources to be able to work.
Some companies, remain nameless, haven’t taken the advice of IT experts who’ve given them the advice over the years of the just-in-case. They haven’t taken that advice. They never do. The IT crowd is always in a basement, as you know. But now they’re starting to realise, oh, by the way, digital transformation, working remotely, it’s awesome.

They’ve worked remotely pretty much since the beginning. There are many other companies that have worked remotely from the beginning without the past few years. affecting them in any way.
