13th April 2022 Adapting to the next reality with Lenovo

Keep your customers future-ready with Lenovo products

In the 1990s, the internet was a new commodity for most people. But since then, technology has been advancing at lightning speed, with smartphones, tablets, and computers taking the world by storm and making everyday processes that much easier.

Because of this rapid rate of development, the technology market is also constantly changing and the need for new tech grows every day. Here at Exertis, we are leaders in distributing technology, driving innovation, and adding value through our specialist services. Technology has become essential for the workplace – even more so since the events of 2020. With organisations now trying to adjust to the digital workplace, we’re here to help you and your customers adapt to the next reality. We believe that the key to resilience and adaptability in the face of widespread change is having the right technology on your side, to help you and your customers succeed. That’s where Lenovo’s market-leading product range comes in.

How has working life changed?

People all over the world have had to adapt to new habits and ways of working. And quickly. The first lockdown alone was enough to cause massive change in day-to-day life for many, with a study on habit formation showing that the average time for a new habit to form was 66 days.  Those organisations in the UK that could, shifted to working from home. Over the next two years, following multiple periods of being locked down with ‘stay at home’ orders, remote working became deeply ingrained in today’s working life, with 87% of leaders around the world expected to allow people more choice in where and how they work as a result.

According to the Office of National Statistics, before the events of 2020, only 5% of the workforce worked mainly from home. This may be because, up until the Covid-19 pandemic, working from home was a workplace experiment until it became necessary. Although the pandemic caused many challenges for organisations everywhere, working from home proved effective, with research showing that productivity actually increased with more remote working.

The next reality

Organisations are now settling into the new reality that has been brought on by the pandemic, and with remote and hybrid working here to stay, that means new ways of working and new technology to facilitate the shift to hybrid working.

Hybrid working means it is essential to have a core work set up that can be used in any scenario, to allow your customers to adapt to their surroundings. Having a set-up that is as efficient at home as it is in the office means increased productivity, no matter where work is happening.

The perfect set-up for remote work

Lenovo’s product range offers several solutions to help you and your customers reach optimum productivity, no matter where they work. The ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga 2-in-1 laptop, for example, boasts an impressive ultralight chassis with a titanium cover that looks as good as it feels. Designed to work in whatever mode suits your customers, the 360-degree hinge on this unique mobile device shifts it smoothly from laptop to tablet. And back again.

Built with the Intel Evo Platform, the 13.5” laptop delivers a powerhouse combination of performance, responsiveness, battery life, and stunning visuals. With up to 11th Gen Intel Core i7 vPro processors, your customers can count on an exceptional experience, anywhere.
