We’ve all adapted quickly to living in a more remote world due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Large production companies are using travel and tradeshow budgets to handle the new need for remote and IT based capabilities. Budgets have switched to optimizing VPNs and quickly embracing cloud based factory management platforms.
We have been in close contact with our customers and we are looking for ways to support them.
