The firm has been quick to adopt new technologies that save time, costs and efforts, making the firm operate more efficiently, while also keeping peoples’ safety in mind.
In mid-2019, we had invested in cloud-computing, mainly in order to safeguard clients’ data which was earlier being stored merely in the server and backed-up periodically. The cloud-based data had also provided us with remote accessibility as a perk, whose true value was realized only when Covid 19 struck the world like a bolt from the blue in March 2020. When the complete lock-down was announced, while many offices were dumbfounded, not knowing how to work without physically going to the office, we were able to move to the new norm of Work-From-Home [WFH] seamlessly, with no sweat as all at JSR could log into iDrive and get into the JSR server to access data. The WFH norm has continued in JSR smoothly ever since, with improved efficiency and the much-needed safety of the home.
Having adopted the WFH culture, all our client meetings went virtual. We also introduced the student seminars and student training to the virtual model, using platforms like Google-Meet where all could participate, present PPT slides, clarify issues and do everything as efficiently as in personal mode. Students training in the virtual mode has made it much more efficient, fruitful and rewarding.
