Broadband, mobile broadband, VPN and Thin Client technologies have matured in recent years making it increasingly possible for your workforce to work effectively from outside the office.

Your workforce can work where it makes practical commercial sense for them to work, not where office bound IT infrastructure dictates.

While working from home does not suit all types of work, there are many roles where working from home can be as effective or more effective than working within an office. Workers avoid fatigue from the daily commute, visiting the office only when necessary.

Not only can a 'work from home' policy appeal to many workers, it can also be viewed as a 'green' policy for the organisation and potentially save the organisation money. If a significant percentage of workers are able to work from home, office costs can be reduced.

A hosted solution can further reduce the cost of managing a remote workforce solution. If the majority of your workforce is located away from a central office this may not be the most effective location for your system to be based.

Topline can provide, house and maintain a solution to which your users can connect using PCs, mobile devices or Thin Client terminals. This type of solution vastly reduces the complexity of the configuration and consequential support required to each workstation.
