Adopting Work-From Anywhere
COVID-19 has really ramped up the entire culture of the organisation where they are forced to adopt the work from anywhere culture for the employees as a consequence official environment has converted into a hybrid working model, and in such a difficult time it was an opportunity for us to enable the digital platform with capability of communication with collaboration where all the employees, students, doctors and patients can have virtual meet, chat, Call and collaborate and sharing the data & contents at one place in secure mode.
Whether it is chat, calls, or video, anyone can engage at any time, bringing everyone closer.
Documents, photos, videos, chat history, and meeting notes are always there, so it’s easier to work together. This enables all the employees to stay in just one place instead of jumping around.

The technology makes it easy and cost-effective to provide connectivity securely and continuity of business operations interrupted along with central roll out security policies across the networks. Redefined Security Policies, SOP’s and strategies that we have enabled in response to the pandemic helped us to create a foundation for Cybersecurity that will sustain in future too.
