The Issue:

The virtual workplace is here. IT executives in over 83% of enterprises now
view their organization as virtual, over 91% of employees work outside of
headquarters offices, and 17% now telecommute, with all of these percentages
rising over the last two years. 

What does it mean to operate in a virtual workplace? Employees work in multiple locations, away from their supervisors or their
workgroups at least some of the time. Basically, virtual workers do not have a single place where they conduct all of their business.

These figures are creating new challenges for both the business and IT staffs to make sure the right network infrastructure, collaborative applications,
and emerging technologies are in place to make virtual workers as productive as possible.
