While the recovery through this human tragedy will be a long-fought battle, industries, individuals, health organizations, governments, and world leaders are fighting this severe challenge at a scale to reassure our future is safe. We all shall live with this new normal till we know where we are heading and what’s waiting for us. However, this crisis has also brought out the best for few and rest are braving this pandemic.
Datamatics Business Solutions’ response to the COVID-19 situation has been all about:
- People first and ensuring the safety of all our associates
- Navigating clients by providing uninterrupted services, complaint operations and delivering quality outcomes at unmatched speed
- Complying to the regulations from government and healthcare authorities
To neutralize the impact and help our customers stay certain, we have implemented several measures to ensure continued operations with minimized disruption by enabling our global workforce digitally. We have changed our working models to ‘work-from-home‘ and remain ‘open to business,’ ‘fully operational,’ ‘highly resilient,’ and ‘safe’ in this dynamic business environment.
Our Priority – Ensure the Safety and Wellbeing of our Employees and Associates
We have aligned our operations to the directives and guidelines issued by the local government & the World Health Organization (WHO) to have all employees work remotely and implement 100% remote working protocols. Our business continuity plans are in place and under constant vigil to help us continue to deliver on our promise of uninterrupted services to our customers.
In the initial phase of the outbreak, we took several proactive measures like travel restrictions, revocation of internal meetings, regular sanitization of our offices, and issuing social isolation directives, which helped to mitigate the impact of Covid-19. Since most of our employees operate from our offices, we launched a massive remote enablement program where our IT systems and support teams worked tirelessly to allow the entire workforce to work-from-home securely and seamlessly. We transitioned from the ‘office’ environment to ‘work-from-home’ model in a matter of 24 hours. We have also formed a cross-functional COVID-19 team to monitor the situation around the clock, as the safety and wellbeing of our employees is and will remain on the top of our priority list.

Impact on Businesses
Covid-19 is having an increasing impact on the businesses across the globe. The rapid movement of the outbreak has led several countries to announce or extend the nationwide lockdown. The situation has caused severe disruptions in the global supply chain, especially for businesses dependent upon logistics to make import, manufacture, and export. Other industries that are witnessing a significant impact due to subdued or zero demand are Manufacturing, Travel & Tourism, ICT, Aviation, Oil & Gas, Retail, Real Estate, Automobiles, Packaging & Distribution, and Sports and Entertainment. Our Business & Industry Research unit has been publishing some thought-provoking views on the ‘Impact of COVID-19 on Businesses‘. These points of view serve as a guiding force for business leaders looking to navigate through these unprecedented times.
Preparing for the New Normal
Our hearts go out to all those who are impacted by the outbreak. What we are witnessing today might strongly influence and change how we live, work, travel, and socialize. Adapting to the new, different kind of normal, whenever it comes, will not be easy and would require empathy and resilience driven with collective human ingenuity.
