Abstract

The rapid shift to remote work has changed the way organizations manage their IT operations. This paper analyzes the challenges, approaches, and technical solutions that organizations undertake to transform their IT management practices for remote work. The paper describes the path of evolution of IT operations, the significant hurdles in managing IT remotely, and guidance on how to achieve performance, security, and resilience. Data and experiences are incorporated to bring out the workability of various approaches.
