The Extended Enterprise
Office work: - Best voice fidelity - Large wireless range
Hoteling: - Privacy - Portability - No desk phone
Telework: - At home mobility - Multi-tasking work-life - Multiple devices at home
On the go: - Portability of tools - External noise - PC + mobile device

What is a Teleworker?
– Also known as: “telecommuter”, “mobile worker”, “virtual worker”, “remote worker”
– The daily commute to a central place of work is replaced by technology links
– Can range from a few hours a week to full time
– May work from a home office, a co-working facility, or in many locations for jobs such as sales and service
An employee who works remotely, usually from their home, facilitated by collaborative information
and communication technologies

real estate
– Office space for the average worker costs $10,000 per year
Ease traffic congestion and
commutes; reduce energy use, emissions

Not All Teleworkers Are Alike
Teleworker profiles vary according to the following criteria:
Company Size (SMB, Fortune 500+, Public Sector etc.) Professions (Sales/ Customer Service/ “Knowledge Workers”) Primary Work Interactions (Clients, “Virtual Teams”, local/ out-of-state/ international)Degree of Mobility (% week spent at home vs. office; % travel)Devices used (landline, mobile, VoIP, SIP Phones, etc.)

Teleworker Pain Points
Not comfortable with new technologies, want familiar tools/user interface
Want to sound professional even when working from home
Overwhelmed by multiple communication devices
• Multiple roles: business owner, parent, volunteer
• Multiple tasks: conference calls, email, answering the door, walking the dog
• Multiple devices: landline phone, mobile phone, headsets, chargers
Need to be productive and able to multi-task (both cognitive and physical)
Need to be available and not miss calls
Softphone

Teleworking: Key Challenges
Sources: AEA, 2008; customer visits; CDW, 2008
Information security
Productivity & performance – working remotely or remotely working?
SolutionChallenge for Corporations
– Identify IT support & resources (VPN connections, Secure communications such as DECT) to manage teleworker programs.
– Provide similar experience (and quality) as office-based workers.
– Companies have reported productivity gains due to teleworking. IBM: 10-20% increase. BT: 31% increase. AmEx: 26% more calls & produced 43% more business.
– Productivity factors include fewer distractions, time gained from reduced commutes, and healthier work-life balance.
– Allow teleworkers to utilize communication technologies that allow employees to keep in touch with managers & peers when working remotely (E-mail, IM, voice/web/video conferencing).
– Ensure that the most important collaborators only work remotely part of the time.
– Establish programs, policies and resources to allow the teleworker to thrive while working remotely.
Collaboration & communication: losing the “water cooler” effect
Establishing technology standards (incl. QoS, equip.
reliability & compatibility)
