Resources for Business Continuity during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Keeping your employees healthy and safe is your priority.
Keeping them productive, efficient, and secure is ours.
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread across the US, many organizations are asking their workers to do their jobs from home. For many organizations, this means empowering their workforce with the communication and collaboration tools they need to stay efficient and productive.
In response to the pandemic, several of the tier-1 manufacturers we partner with are providing special offers to help organizations build out solutions that enable their workforce to work from the safety of their homes. Cerium can help you explore the boundless potential of modern communications and collaboration solutions to connect workers at home with video and audio conferencing, chat, and webinars across mobile, desktop, and room systems. We work with a number of industry-leading manufacturers to offer flexible solutions that can mix and match calling, video, collaboration, and contact center features to power your organization and empower your workforce.
As we all do our part in slowing down this virus, the model of working remotely or telecommuting becomes even more commonplace than it already is across America. There’s no question, the scale and scope of the Coronavirus are like none other, and we want to assure our clients that Cerium and our strategic manufacturers are taking immediate actions to reduce the impact on your businesses.
