The COVID-19 pandemic forced businesses to work-from-home overnight. Some were well-prepared and already allowed everyone in their language supply chain to access their translation management system (TMS) remotely, with no disruption to workflows; for others, it was more challenging, involving other IT tasks such as enabling virtual private network (VPN) access.
