In an ever-changing global economy, organizations are faced with the task of providing employees with remote access to corporate information resources to accelerate business growth. Whether it is a sales representative or engineer dealing with a customer opportunity, someone traveling on a business trip, a person trying to extend their hours by working at home at night or on the weekend or perhaps a highly qualified yet remotely located employee or contractor, workers can all be more productive when provided with access to the right information and business applications - at the right time - regardless of where they are physically located.

The benefits are many, not the least of which is employee productivity. Companies are now free to hire the best talent without regard for location, and workers can accept those jobs while minimizing concerns about commuting distances and expenses. There is also the promise of saving facility costs because the need for permanent office space can be minimized. Companies and government organizations concerned about the environment will readily recognize the eco-benefits of an employee population that is able to work remotely. It is clear that the companies that embrace employee mobility will be a step ahead of their competitors as they accelerate their business.
