Remote working during lockdown has required a shift in work practices for many companies, with collaboration tools becoming vital.

Video conferencing, audio calls and instant messaging have all played roles in keeping projects afloat across organisations, while AI and automation aim to speed up operations, as well as contribute to maintaining customer service while offices are locked down.

In addition, the substantial rise in online activity has also been proved to cause increased strain on networks, meaning that many have had to upgrade their broadband packages.
