Expo 2020 Dubai is undoubtedly the most anticipated event on the Dubai calendar and despite it being postponed by one year due to the impact of the COVID-19 crisis, preparations continue in earnest.<\/p>\n
With the launch of\u00a0a \u2018remote work\u2019 system, when remote working very suddenly became the new reality,\u00a0Expo 2020 Dubai is faced with the challenge of continuing its preparations during lockdown \u2013 but how?<\/p>\n
The scope of running an operation of this magnitude from home is beyond my imagination, but Cisco, which is the Official Premier Digital Network Partner of\u00a0Expo 2020 Dubai, has detailed the scale of the project in a cool graphic.<\/p>\n
Cisco is working to ensure the online shift to working from home is seamless and here’s how far they’ve come in a very short space of time:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Working from home IS the new norm. We\u2019ve seen heaps of event cancellations and postponements around the world, but Cisco is trying to help its\u00a0customers, partners, communities and people take advantage of technology in times of immense transformation.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And over 2,000 Webex users who work as part of the Expo 2020 extended team have been racking up these calls.<\/p>\n
The shift to working from home for a massive team was enabled by Cisco\u2019s collaboration technologies that are available for Expo 2020 Dubai employees. And Webex usage has also been extended to their families and friends so the entire extended family can stay connected!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Working at this scale, Cisco has managed to empower teams to work effectively, both remotely and securely. As the largest security enterprise in the world, the company has invested in building secure processes for remote working. On the scale of the Expo 2020 Dubai project, Cisco reported:<\/p>\n
\u201cIn less than three days, the Expo 2020 Dubai team was able to gradually start using the newly enhanced system and, in less than a week, the majority of their users were migrated to the new system.\u201d Amazing!<\/p>\n
