Arcules "Embraces" Remote Work Examined
Canon's Arcules, spun out 6 years ago from Milestone, has had a volatile run. Now the company announced its remote work model as a "new way of doing business", counter to a growing trend of "return to office".
The company has had significant challenges but is now being boosted by Milestone relabeling Arcules as "Kite".
In this report, IPVM examines Arcule's remote work terms, the company's extensive feedback to IPVM, what the model means to the company itself, and overall work model trends in the security industry.
