MyBroadband spoke to Alviva Holdings and the JD Group regarding how hardware requirements have changed with the shift to working from home.
Tech distributors in South Africa have noticed an increase in laptop sales and “work-from-home products” since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, according to Alviva Holdings.
“We have had meaningful notebook revenue growth along with other ‘work from home products’ like networking, accessories and monitors,” Alviva Holdings CEO Pierre Spies said.The JD Group noticed a similar trend. Its tech marketing executive Stef Michael told MyBroadband that the company had seen more people investing in hardware to work from home more efficiently and comfortably.
Employees are unlikely to have the IT support their employer could provide at home, making after-sales support an essential factor for purchasing decisions.
