Zero Office Handle the Present, Build the Future
Drawing on lessons learned
The 2021 Gartner Board of Directors survey reveals that 69% of corporate directors accelerated their digital business initiatives to help deal with the ongoing disruption. The survey also shows that almost half of Board of Directors anticipate changing their organizations' business model as a result of the pandemic. As Gartner research VP Partha Iyengar points out, "technology-driven digital transformation can, and should be, a strong enabler in addressing employee, customer, supply chain and broad brand impact to position the enterprise to come out of the crisis stronger." For some businesses, it means that their digital strategies became real for the first time. For others, this entails rapidly scaling digital investments.
But more importantly, this implies that organizations must look beyond the pandemic to similar events or other global issues that will shape business in the future: slow productivity growth, weakening international relationships, economic downturns, key talent shortages, or climate change, to name a few. Just as mankind was able to retain and develop its cultural practices and achievements through the ages, people today must build on the current momentum to prepare for the future and transfer lessons learned, knowledge, and know-how to subsequent generations.
To empower organizations to overcome the large-scale disruptions that are bound to happen - and all their economic, social and human consequences - Proximus NXT decided to write a new chapter in the travelers' guide to digital transformation: Zero Office.

The solution provides secure access to corporate data and allows employees to use their regular applications and tools, thereby ensuring mission continuity.
Secure access to ICT resources. Thanks to the cloud, Zero Office provides secure and compliant business continuity capabilities, while offering a way to monitor the organization's reliability and performance. Based on a Zero Trust approach, Zero Office secures employees’ remote connections to corporate data and applications. Under the assumption that every user, request, and server is untrusted until proven otherwise, a Zero Trust-enabled environment dynamically and continually assesses trust every time a user or device requests access to a resource. But Zero Trust offers more than a line of defense. The model also delivers considerable business value, including greater enterprise visibility, reduced IT complexity, less demanding security workloads, better user experience, and support for cloud migration.[1]
User adoption follow-up. Proximus NXT helps make sure that the new tools and user interfaces are properly used and understood by the employees, be it through e-learning, online tutorials or its Training Center. The user adoption follow-up program fosters the introduction of "Zero Office champions" from inside the organization to unlock the full potential of the Zero Office transformation journey. This service provides the means to create virtual community spaces where users can share their experiences and learnings, to issue adoption monitoring reports, and implement business KPIs to measure results and ensure that the adoption process is well on track.
Remote assistance. Zero Office offers multiple solutions to support and solve workplace issues (device failure or breakage, missing service, etc.) through online assistance such as chatbot interfaces, remote control of defective tools by experts from Proximus NXT, or through the delivery of replacement devices pre-configured to customers specific needs.
