Lucas Jiang , General Manager , TP-Link MEA , said CIOs across industries have faced some challenges as their Business Continuity plans were put to the test by the on-going COVID-19 pandemic . Jiang said one of the significant challenges has been around onboarding new employees remotely . “ A Business Continuity plan needs to include the use of endpoint mobility management systems to set up new employees remotely smoothly . Securing company assets has been another challenge faced by many who have moved to smaller offices or moved out of their offices altogether ,” he said . “ CIOs must have a plan in place to help secure company devices virtually and help businesses sync their devices into their asset management . Managing technology that is not sufficient has also been a big challenge faced by many , for which the only answer is upgrading their technology and services to help employees work better and operations run more smoothly .” p
