“The COVID-19 pandemic has been a major wake-up call for business leaders to embed technology in the strategy of companies. We have seen ‘going digital’ take a quantum leap as a result of the pandemic. For example, digitization of business processes and customer interaction has accelerated drastically, and many technological changes could be implemented much faster than thought possible before the pandemic. Also, the mindset of business leaders on the strategic impact of technology has changed as a result of the coronavirus crisis. Because businesses had to show resilience and the ability to adapt to this major disruptive event, they are more aware that agility is a requirement to remain competitive now and in the future. Embracing change may help companies to be better prepared and more resilient to future disruptive events, for example by adopting new technology
and fostering a culture of innovation. Technology, agility and innovation are key factors to achieve future goals.”

“Since the beginning of time, those who have possessed the most reliable information are the ones that have had all the advantages to succeed in this game called life. This new pandemic has shown us that, more than ever, we have to be prepared for whatever is coming next in almost all aspects of our lives. For the first time, most humans realize now that our personal, medical, banking and business information is out there, at hand for everybody to share, and that it’s important to keep it safe. Artificial intelligence, cloud computing, home office, resilience, risk awareness and many other concepts are now part of our common language. Small business owners especially are now aware of everything they didn’t previously consider to implement their strategies based on robust and secured technology infrastructures. They are now paying a higher price for what they should have taken into consideration in the first place. More than ever, information and its secureness is one of the most valuable foundations for businesses success. To make our businesses survive and grow, we need to be ready to keep up with the technology-driven world we now live in. Here at Crowe in Latin America, we are contributing with our ‘grain of sand’ by learning and teaching others about information security awareness and how to be trusted by customers and vendors by keeping it safe. Technology is now essential to our lives.”
