Can Coronavirus Infect Your Tech?

Probably not, but it did have an impact on IT within control center projects.

The world was taken off guard by the coronavirus and continues to grapple with uncertainty and instability. The pandemic hasn‘t just affected individuals and society; it has also left its mark on the global economy, particularly in terms of disrupting worldwide supply chains. Many nations closed their borders, scaled back production, and brought entire industrial processes to a standstill.

This crisis has underscored just how much of our prosperity and quality of life relies on interconnected global supply chains. Border closures and restrictions have placed numerous sectors of the economy under duress and presented formidable challenges for global logistics and transportation networks.

Another factor of influence is the ongoing conflict between Taiwan and China, demonstrating how swiftly political decisions can reverberate through the global economy. Companies with operations in Taiwan are directly impacted by this conflict, leading to further delays, supply shortages, and accompanying price fluctuations.

eurofunk is also heavily reliant on the supply of electronic components and IT equipment. Given the altered global market landscape, eurofunk was compelled to take immediate corrective measures to minimize project delays. Teams from Solutions and Development managed to craft alternative technical solutions, while Purchasing diversified its supplier base to secure additional sources for materials.

Furthermore, warehouse capacity was expanded to maintain higher minimum stock levels, better insulating against delivery delays.

By employing this approach, eurofunk ultimately managed to avert project delays or effectively manage them, thereby securing its ongoing position as a reliable partner in control center technology.
