Remote & Mobile Working

Liberating your workforce from the confines of the office

Remote technology and mobile technology both describe methods of utilising IT beyond the restrictions of the traditional workplace. Although they have similar aims, remote and mobile technology are distinctive technologies in their own right.

Remote technology

Utilising methods made possible by the internet, remote technology gives you access to information ‘anywhere, anytime’, allowing you to manage your business more efficiently. Employers are now able to use the possibility of flexible working to meet the more diverse needs of a modern workforce.

Mobile technology

Mobile technology has made use of recent advances in miniaturisation to develop devices that allow the user to effectively take their office wherever they go. Commonplace examples include laptops, Blackberry’s, mobile phones and global positioning devices. A variety of communications technologies have developed to meet the burgeoning variety of mobile devices: wireless WiFi, Bluetooth, 3G, virtual private networks and the ‘traditional’ modems and telephone lines.
