Over the past few years organizatio

Over the past few years organizations across the
globe have changed dramatically in response to the
forces of globalization, economic uncertainty and
consumerization of IT. These forces are fundamentally
altering how businesses manage and operate. In this
world, new ways to improve business productivity,
flexibility and agility are no longer nice to have; they
are essential for the workplace of the future.
Organizations that embrace the workplace of the future by supporting mobile
workstyles will be far more agile than others. Mobile workstyles deliver organizations
the flexibility to operate in a world that is hyper-connected and always on. Mobile
workstyles enable people to strike a better work-life balance, able to work from
anywhere, unrestricted by location, time or device.
In this world, work is something people do, not a place they go. Through mobile
workstyles, work can be effortlessly shifted across people, locations, devices
and time. It’s also a shift in fundamental thinking. By completely eliminating the
traditional hard-coding that exists between people, devices, applications and data,
organizations increase flexibility, decrease costs and increase the speed of change.
The workplace of the future will be core to business strategy, where adopting the
right technology and putting the right policies in place will be key to organizational
success. Companies will build and protect amazing cultures that foster diversity,
collaboration and innovation while supporting work-life balance and offering
employees an element of choice in workplaces and devices.
This global market research report, which surveyed 1,900 senior IT decision
makers, shows that organizations around the world are gaining huge operational
and strategic advantages by embracing mobile workstyles to:
• Recruit and retain talent with cutting-edge policies for personal device usage
and flexible work schedules
• Offer modern, flexible, and economical workspaces that inspire people while
reducing overhead and real estate costs
• Increase personal productivity for people working anywhere by offering easy, yet
secure, access to business resources
