How Is The Business World Changing Today ?

From certain dairy farmers being asked to dump millions of liters of fresh milk to prevent oversupply, to most of the
business world temporarily shuttering operations, the impact of the coronavirus is being felt globally by organizations,
governments and people.
At the same time, however, many businesses are swift to embrace information technology to keep their operational wheels
turning. Such use of innovation is showing up in medicine, financial services and real estate, to name a few sectors.

Embracing The Remote Office


For years, many businesses and startups have been experimenting with and implementing scenarios of working remotely.
Email, texting, web-based videoconferencing and the growth of electronic documents allow more employees to do their
jobs from home (and often save money on child care, too). The coronavirus has ramped up the use of these enabling
technologies to encourage social distancing.
Meetings, conferences and social events are now occurring with regularity, and teleconferences among various countries
are activated with both dial-in and dial-out formats. In almost every financial or information-based sector, telecommuting
affords little disruption in operations.
Possible Growth In Virtual Commerce
With new restrictions and impediments to face-to-face transactions, I believe it is likely that virtual commerce will assume
a bigger role. Fortunately, more states and jurisdictions are permitting electronic document signings and e-notarizations
for identity verification.
Because my company is in the iBuyer space, I believe it's possible that we could see an uptick in virtual commerce after the
coronavirus outbreak has subsided. With advances in document technology, it is conceivable that conducting traditionally
in-person transactions virtually (such as buying and selling a house online) could become the new normal.
