Converged Network Solutions (CNS) is a well established acronym when designing and delivering networks and are usually discussed with confidence by developers and integrators alike. So everyone is comfortable with the approach and concept? Maybe not. Perhaps your network is actually just shared or in some cases a “divergent” network?

As we move into the next phase and the thoughts turn to relaxing the lock down measures, technology will have to adapt again to support these. As with many things we have been tracking over the past few weeks, this will involve understanding how tools and technology that are already out in the marketplace are being used to adapt. Creating something new at this stage is more difficult as the research and adoption cycle is longer so we view ourselves as being in the adaptation phase. As a technology practice however, we do see ways that existing technologies can be used to create new support mechanism’s for organisations at short notice. Specifically, in this article, we’re looking at how technology could support those organisations who will open their offices up and how to apply social distancing to their current work practices.
