Mobile computing essentially means using computer technology whilst out of the office. This could be while travelling on business, working from home, or as a measure to reduce the size of the office and cut costs. It also involves how external computing communicates with the main office, via smart phones, laptops, desktops and tablets.
Remote working can be a very effective tool when staff are prevented from getting to work, or for sales teams who are on the move and need to keep in constant touch with the office. Remote working can lower overheads and operating costs, improving productivity and staff retention, and enhancing work-life balance, in addition to reducing the environmental impact of your business.
There are combinations of technologies that can be employed to provide the computer infrastructure which will enable this to be an effective tool for your business.

Virtual Office
Whether or not we embrace the practice, working in a 'virtual office' is becoming increasingly more common, whether that means individuals working remotely from home on a remote server, an employee travelling for business, or a large global team collaborating in a virtual environment.
The financial advantages for a company, such as saving on office space, or the reduction in the cost of travel, can be very attractive.
We can provide virtual office software tools from Microsoft Office 365, Google Apps and others, plus a wide range of hardware such as mobile phones, tablets, laptops and desktop workstations.
