Borderless Network Equals Anywhere Office
Network World
Robin Gareiss writes how much the way in which we do work has changed.
“Along with the rise of the borderless network, we’re seeing the emergence of the ‘anywhere office’ – employees working at all times and places, under all conditions. A critical issue to consider when supporting the ‘anywhere office’ is the type (and variety) of wireless access. Devices may come equipped with Wifi and/or EVDO cards (and increasingly, LTE connectivity). The goal? To ensure employees are able to stay online at all times. Bottom line: Don’t assume that a single type of access is enough.”
