THE STANDARD
OPINION
Carol Koech, Schneider Electric Country President
I don’t need to tell you that 2020 was all about digital; we adapted to the pandemic, to both keep our people safe as well as keep business and economies moving.
Electricity used to be the must-have resource, now it’s the internet and a lot of us are living online. We’re working online, often remotely, our children for most part of the year adapted to studying online and even our courts have been holding online sessions.
The question I must ask is this: Is our infrastructure able to cope? Are we managing our IT networks well enough to be able to do everything online, all at the same time? And are businesses able to support their employees, many of whom are working remotely and are relying on their own home networks.
