Flexible Working

Rising fuel costs, environmental concerns and changing employment legalisation are strengthening the case for flexible working. As a result, it is now a business imperative to establish an appropriate IT strategy to enable and support increasing numbers of mobile and “out of office” employees.

The typical business environment today is almost unrecognisable from that of a few years ago - characterised as it is by increasing numbers of mobile, field and home-based staff. Indeed, it is predicted that there will be more than a billion mobile workers globally by 2011, according to leading analysts IDC.

This trend places ever-more complex demands on the IT department. Developing an approach which takes into account differing end-user devices, connectivity methods, security policies and management can be confusing - compromised as it is by the relentless pace of technology change.
