All the businesses across the world are in bad shape because of the latest epidemic COVID-19. Unfortunately, this is the most buzzing and booming word in the world at the moment. The negativity is not only confined to businesses across the world. But the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on human life is beyond the worst and it will likely remain a potential threat in the coming months.
The organizations belonging to the IT domain have asked their employees to work from remote locations via video conferencing and collaboration tools to establish seamless communication. Yes, companies are trying their best to beat this pandemic and try to use every possible tool to achieve productivity. But as per Kotak Institutional Equities, this mayhem, IT sectors has fallen down to 3-8% for the next financial year. India, which is one of the top 15 economies in the world, alone, has affected about $348 million.
Let’s discuss in detail the impact of COVID-19 on the IT industry and how the outsourcing model can resolve this issue—
Dealing with Decreased Productivity and Performance
Certainly, this virus is likely to impact productivity on a group and individual scale. Handling day-to-day productivity and performance-related issue are on the rise due to working from home. Fewer team meetings and coordination is also a significant factor contributing to this decreased productivity.
Cash Flow Crisis for SMEs
Due to the pandemic, about 30% of SMEs have reported a significant reduction in cash level as per the latest financial reports. It is a big lockdown for sure and it can’t be anticipated how much time it will take by markets to resurrect. This will leave a detrimental effect on a company’s working capital and they will not survive more if they were unable to secure some finance.
Not Ready For a Fully Remote Workforce
We are an indispensable part of the digital industry, and fortunately, blessed that our workflows and deliveries don’t rely on the location of the resources. But still, some organizations don’t have the infrastructure to allow their employees to work remotely and adapt to the work-from-home culture fully. Some of them are not ready for this situation, so the tools for collaboration and interpersonal training.
A report by Gartner, a leading IT service management company, says that 54% of the companies in India do not have enough technology and resources for employees to work from home.
