One of the most recognisable changes brought about by the digital networked economy is that work is something you do – not a place you go to. Flexible working is increasingly popular among organisations and their employees because it brings significant benefits to both.
Flexible working improves productivity, reducing travel time and increasing the time spent on more valuable activities. It helps rationalise office space and costs. Most importantly, it promotes better knowledge sharing and collaboration, regardless of location, and enables an organisation to achieve its goals while being responsive to the individual needs of its workers.
Realising these benefits depends on how you address two key factors:
-
Sharing knowledge across the enterprise: working from home, an airport lounge or hotel room has to be as simple and as secure as it would be in the office – and you have to evaluate the impact on processes as well as technology.

Flexible working, anywhere: real flexibility means providing secure remote access to the full range of corporate resources, while rationalising costs and controlling access.
