The Impact of COVID-19 on Businesses and the Role of Cloud Platforms in Business Continuity

Sai Vishnu Vardhan Machapatri

Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic turned the whole world ?upside down? and it would be accurate to say that businesses have never known a better time to rise and make those instant adaptations. Whether it was network operations, collaboration or service delivery, the need for the switch was immense. COVID-19 made sure of it. Cloud platforms saw to it that many businesses that went remote whether just for a couple of weeks or forever were up and running almost immediately. This paper critically examines the stark effect of COVID-19 on businesses, focusing on how cloud computing solutions or platforms have facilitated the swift adaptation of businesses and what it would have become for employees (and employers!) if not for this lockdown-friendly technology. This paper researches the advantages of cloud platforms, provides a few interesting uses cases in different industry sectors, and gives visual examples of how businesses had to switch to remote workforces during one of the most monumental events in their histories.
