The outbreak of the epidemic in the early spring of 2010 had a certain degree of impact on the survival status of small, medium and micro enterprises, but also brought some structural changes to online education, telecommuting, Internet medical and other industries. Compared with other industries, the development of these industries was not mature before the epidemic, and the potential of users was greatly increased. However, under the impact of the epidemic, the online consumption and life will help accelerate the speed and progress of the acquisition of users in this sector, and reach the ceiling of industry scale earlier. Among them, SaaS telecommuting has achieved remarkable results in this epidemic.

What is the future of SaaS telecommuting?

In order to cooperate with the epidemic prevention and control, enterprises that have returned to work have started telecommuting mode, which directly led to the surge in the number of users of remote office software such as Dingding and Yonyou cloud video. According to mUserTracker, SaaS telecommuting apps increased by 72.2% month-on-month after the resumption of work in 2020, and the number of daily independent devices for telecommuting reached nearly 30 million in 2/24-3/1.

In fact, telecommuting is nothing new abroad. With the rapid development of the Internet industry, the average commercial and residential real estate prices in the US are generally higher than in other regions where the high-tech industry is concentrated. However, the development of cloud computing infrastructure has provided extremely fast Internet speeds and newer communication tools to even remote areas. As a result of this trend, flextime is slowly gaining popularity in Internet companies, with well-known companies such as Dell and Deloitte offering office benefits to their employees.

At this time to turn the perspective of China, in Shanghai’s Cloud conference, Ali Cloud Zhang Jianfeng mentioned “All in Cloud”, for the enterprise’s overall Cloud plus held a lot of confidence. The advantages of cloud service are obvious, low cost, stable operation and high efficiency, making it an inevitable trend in the future. At the same time, as China’s Internet technology continues to grow, the trend is likely to move closer to that of the United States. The epidemic has shown us the market and users’ demand for SaaS telecommuting products. At present, it is not the peak, the user penetration rate has not reached the highest, and the users of SaaS telecommuting in China have not been fully tapped. Telecommuting is bound to become the new normal for some enterprises after the epidemic.

SaaS currently exists on the market

During the epidemic, while resuming work, enterprises should also respond to national policies and actively prevent the epidemic. Under the combined action of these two factors, cloud computing can not only adapt to the requirements of epidemic prevention, but also reduce costs and improve efficiency through remote education and telecommuting. It is also in line with the general trend of future industry development.

In fact, there are already many related companies on the market researching SaaS telecommuting software. Whether dingding or the cooperation with Yonyou cloud to establish cloud video, cloud contract, are trying to use more stable network, more efficient algorithm to improve the efficiency of SaaS telecommuting. It can be seen that SaaS telecommuting is not only the demand of internal training and office of merchants, but also an important track in the field of cloud services.

The SaaS telecommuting software launched by Dingding, an Internet company, has achieved great success in online education, especially Dingding once topped the download list of software, with considerable achievements. At the same time, yonyou cloud as the representative of the traditional software giants are not willing to lag behind, with the strong technical background to catch up, in the B2B track also occupies a place.

Just like The Three Kingdoms in ancient times, the race has not yet come to an end, and it is not clear who will win the race.

Thinking about the future relationship of enterprise extended by SaaS telecommuting

Telecommuting is more than just a tool, more is a change in thinking, mechanism. This sudden outbreak is not only a disaster, but also an opportunity and a turning point.

For online education, the continuation of more than ten years of offline education model had to be postponed, and online education took this opportunity to rapidly expand the user market, occupy the user mind, many people have gradually found that “offline class” and “online class” seems to be no difference. School education may still be irreplaceable, but I believe that the market share of online education will also see an objective increase after the end of the epidemic.

This is especially true for telecommuting. For many jobs, telecommuting is a more economical and cost-saving solution than offline working, even after the outbreak. On the other hand, the demand for flexible employment is also growing as the problem of difficult employment becomes more prominent. During the pandemic, Hema introduced a pioneering “shared employee” policy, in which Xibei alone sent thousands of employees to work in Hema. Enterprises’ need for the mobility of idle employees may lead to the transformation of the relationship between enterprises and employees from “employment” to “cooperation”.

Under this trend, it is a rational choice to use SaaS office software, enter the field of telecommuting as soon as possible, and explore the road of enterprise in the field of telecommuting. Both Yonyou cloud and Nail nail have provided strong enough and comprehensive online office services. When change comes, those who can seize the opportunity first and open the door first will have a better chance to become the “pig” on the next tuyere.
