The business challenge

At the beginning of the COVID-19 disruption, several clients needed to move almost their entire workforces home with very little notice. Collectively, eight businesses moved remote in one week during this process covering more than 150 devices, which had to occur without materially interrupting business operations.

Why the transition worked

MacWorks 360 had already planned for business interruption. Firewalls, remote-access capabilities, server infrastructure, management tools and recovery systems were largely in place. The missing step was configuring employees’ home devices and activating the plan at scale. In fact, the rapid activation was proven when eight businesses moved remote in just one week.

What MacWorks 360 delivered

• Transitioned approximately eight businesses to remote work within one week.
• Configured more than 150 devices for secure access.
• Set up many individual employees in approximately 30–60 minutes.
• Provided remote troubleshooting and user guidance during the transition.
• Maintained minimal workflow interruption across the affected businesses.

Business results

• Clients continued operating during an extraordinary disruption. It is remarkable to see how eight businesses moved remote in one week and still maintained operations.
• Existing preparation prevented an emergency redesign of each network.
• Employees could access the systems and data required for their roles.
• Work equal to roughly three normal weeks was completed in one week because the foundation already existed.

The lesson

Business continuity is most effective when technology and procedures are established before an emergency begins. For example, eight businesses moved remote in one week because they were prepared.
