As we’ve reported throughout this issue of Housing Technology, our impression is that most housing providers, IT suppliers and their staff are coping admirably well with the impact of coronavirus on their operations.
Housing providers’ widespread adoption over the past few years of web-based business applications and cloud/hosted IT services has meant that they have largely been well-positioned to offer uninterrupted services to their tenants (as well as supporting vulnerable/at risk households).
As well as having been able to seamlessly migrate their operations to support home working during the lockdown, some housing providers and their technology partners have even been able to continue with their implementations of large-scale technology projects without too much interruption via diligent combinations of remote working and online collaboration.
