I was surprised when Five9 canceled its event, but it was the right thing to do. It’s hard to remember how normal things were in early March. Most announcements can’t wait that long, so expect lots of news in April.įew of us realized how quickly life around the world could change. Enterprise Connect was postponed until August. The provider demonstrated its agility (as if we needed more evidence) by pivoting to a virtual event in just two days. Nearly every major communications conference in March-June has been canceled or postponed. On the other hand, a big part of the past 10 years has been enabling mobility, and now it is time to enable the nonmobile. This is good for the communications industry, but it is hardly business as usual. Organizations are now urgently dealing with work from home (WFH) and digital transformation. US hospitalizations continue to increase with a peak forecast in May, but possibly as late as August. Some experts believe US hospitalizations have not peaked yet, and deaths will continue (ironically, overall death rates are down since everyone is staying home). The COVID-19 disease is still spreading exponentially, and there’s no cure in sight. Markets are fluctuating annual returns in a day. Though the swift stimulus has already been approved, this is far from over.
The impact was sudden, and though the fear and spread of this virus will end, its consequences will be felt for decades. Actually, the federal government was studying the pandemic in October 2019, but it took until March 2020 for it to be realized. Well, obviously, the big event this month was the coronavirus.
