Description

As most Americans were recovering from the 2008 financial sector meltdown, our global economy spawned an entirely new way of organizing work. As a result, jobs disappeared, but the work did not. Instead, it moved to the cloud.

The shift to a virtual workforce was subtle and slow to adopt, until the COVID - 19 pandemic changed the way the world worked.

Now, there are literally no limits to what, how, and where work can be performed. These changing patterns have transformed jobs as work moves seamlessly across the globe, oblivious to borders or locations.

While every company had to adjust to the new world of work, smart companies and leaders will continue to leverage the global talent marketplace by using the cloud and this high-demand skilled, virtual workforce for competitive advantage.
