In Statista's 2022 survey of employees in Asia Pacific, 66 percent said they want a hybrid working arrangement in the future with only 11 percent preferring to work directly in the office.
This shift is already underway, with Lenovo's survey of 500 enterprises CTOs, finding that 43 percent of their enterprise technology architecture has been 'enhanced' and elements such as smart devices (76 percent) and smart inter (70 percent) have become increasingly important in the past year.
Businesses will move to an easier model where the entire office experience and related solutions and services can be provided by a third party.
Lenovo offers employees an experience where companies can rent a Workplace Solution, as opposed to just hardware and software, including IT infrastructure and work analytics support as cloud and data infrastructure services.
