Mobile working will contribute to business success

A growing number of businesses are recognising the importance of mobile working in the current economic climate.

According to the Times, there have been strong sales of dongles, a pocket-sized USB device that equips a computer with internet access wherever there’s mobile coverage. With the cost of this device falling steadily, many companies are expected to utilise the technology to embrace mobile working strategies.

Other innovations, such as VoIP networks, are also making flexible working increasingly attractive to businesses, as it provides the infrastructure for home offices and conferencing without the restrictions of travel arrangements.

A recent study indicated that organisations implementing flexible working policies are more optimistic about their future prospects. The research found that small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with a fully mobile workforce are 60 per cent more likely to be predicting growth in 2009 than those who don’t have flexible working policies in place.

Peter Thomson, founder of the Future Work Forum, believes that the technology solutions for flexible working make small teams more productive, with SMEs being more agile and likely to survive the downturn. The cost-cutting benefits of flexible working are now widely recognised within the business community, with the technology that’s needed to alter working habits becoming more accessible.
