EastPoint WorkSmarter™ is Made for Remote Working

Why remote working is no longer only about the office worker.

Introducing EastPoint WorkSmarter™

Remote working is no longer about the office worker, it has broken out of the office into remote sites and locations and as far as our imaginations will take us. The modern mobile worker needs more autonomy, more opportunity and more freedom than ever before to work from home, the office or in fact, anywhere else.

The needs for remote working is no longer solely the ability to be able to send an email, take a conference call, it has moved on to the true mobile roles like the surveyor, the engineer, the inspector, the monitor in whatever guise. EastPoint’s WorkSmarter™ solutions have opened up the ability of the genuine remote worker. 

Our clients ideas are just catching up with the possibilities presented by EastPoint’s cloud based platform. A centralised platform, securely accessible from anywhere, that enables you to schedule and distribute your workforces tasks while providing them with everything they need to efficiently take action and share results in an automated and near real time fashion. EastPoint WorkSmarter™ has already several projects underway or completed. 

Workers can now leverage AI and business intelligence to avail of automation and machine learning. We are now looking at the next stage of remote working, hitherto unimagined occupations are seeing the walls of certainty crumble all around them.    
“Technologies such as blockchain, AI, Internet of Things (IoT) and 3D printing will have a transformative impact on how work gets done” Gartner 

WorkSmarter™ can do its part in increasing the number of employees in remote work, in fact it is well on the way to doing so. WorkSmarter™ already enables many of us to work from home, a trend that is only going to increase. Yes, the pandemic focused our minds, and increased the adoption speed, but it has been happening all around us, we are merely more aware of it now.

As consumers and workers, we have the devices in our homes to facilitate remote working. Although some jobs are naturally unable to be done remotely yet, that number is decreasing as we continue to explore the opportunities  WorkSmarter™ presents us with.    

At EastPoint,  we are integrating and harvesting data from systems, but we are taking it further, in our vision for the world, we then use that data in AI and Machine Learning to remake how work is done in the twenty first century. The AI will now compliment what your employee would have been done manually and in some cases on paper. We are going to be integrating what emerges straight into the fully functioning brain of the company. EastPoint is learning, growing and evolving our offering and ourselves constantly.
The ERP cascades down, out and up, across the world. Everything is now possible. We just need to imagine it, then build it. At EastPoint we have already started and are regarded as visionary leaders in this space.  

We have already seen an explosion in remote and mobile working when it comes to office jobs. Many people now work from home, using their laptop’s, mobile devices and cloud access. Many more again remote work some days and only go into the office for specific events. Countrywide and International meetings are another day to day of business that immediately lent themselves to remote working and are a viable option in lieu of travel.  

But what about the Internet of Things (IoT) and remote working outside the office?
IoT creates the data and intelligent systems can be built and learn from this data. Allowing us to do more from one physical position. Instead of the travelling from one location to the next doing monthly, daily or annual checks, EastPoint WorkSmarter™ can do the job for them. Creating data that can be analysed and reacted upon when required. Mitigating the need for on site work, and as the system learns what to do in the event of one or more data points being reached, automation and AI are able to react accordingly to whatever the data reveals. A single worker on-site or on call is now able to oversee a much larger body of work.  

Convenience is one aspect of how EastPoint WorkSmarter™ can facilitate remote working. But it also brings more tangible complex benefits. With data being more freely available experts have more information on which to make their decisions. Predictive analytics and machine learning further increase the valuable insights and automation opportunities for preventing and or reacting to issues, whether they be positive or negative. Decision making automation based on previously learnt data inflection points are encouraging business into remote working, being not only a harbinger of change but also more efficiency, profit, employee satisfaction, less churn and providing us with the new frontier in societal change. EastPoint WorkSmarter™  has already embarked upon this journey, join us.  info@eastpointsolutions.ie 

Challenges 

Business data flows to and from people, systems, sensors, hubs and their eventual destinations are quite rightly the focus of industries’ wide security concerns. Security is a hot topic worldwide, but need not be such a pressure point. As the integrations increase, as more and more people and systems are connected, remote working is one of the many off shoots we will see and benefit from. The Covid 19 pandemic may have given us all a nudge in that direction, but the truth is we have been going that way for a long time.  
The Internet of Things and remote working are a perfect match.   

In EastPoint Solutions at the end of the day we are still data and system integrators, for us we just see WorkSmarter™ as another opportunity to harvest and glean data that we can then integrate into the company body, and mind. We have mastered data integration from the office, now we are smashing the silos wide open, whether those silos are on building sites, manufacturing, facilities management, fleet management, every industry is ripe for us to improve it, for employees to benefit from increased remote working, and for the company to reap the rewards. 

We’ve come a long way, and we are still not there yet, where? Just over the horizon……… 
So, what? 
WorkSmarter™ gives us the capability to harvest from a new, hitherto unbuilt, super highway into areas we never had access before. But that is not enough, having the tech is not enough. At EastPoint we have already normalised this, we want to bring it right into the business and have cross organisational capabilities, within and without. Why stop at the metaphorical walls of the company, we can move it right on through to other businesses. Streamlining agreed upon supply chains, processes and integrations. 
AI – integrating with other systems. In terms of where it will fully blossom, real world automation using AI is next, and it is now. The data flows aggregated onto one glass. Yes people are still having to look at that glass, but not for as long and only when necessary.
