Collaboration

Like most of America, CCP Global’s consultants and administrative personnel have been working fully remotely since mid-March when the pandemic shut down most face-to-face interactions. That means we’ve done a lot of business by phone, chat and, of course, video conferencing. One of our senior consultants notes that she has found video chats to be a critical success factor to her fully remote Ariba projects.

The workplace has been moving toward more remote work for some time now, fueled by factors such as better remote communication technology, a desire to reduce infrastructure costs and the opportunity to provide a better work/life balance for employees. The Covid-19 pandemic has both accelerated and normalized that trend. However, even before the pandemic CCP Global recognized that prioritizing remote collaboration had benefits for clients as well as employees. After all, the fewer travel expenses a client has to incur, the greater the bottom line impact on their profits.
