Most employees at medium-size organizations have typically worked in networked offices, with a relatively small number of employees working remotely. Because organizations need to maintain business continuity in uncertain times, IT professionals face the challenge of rapidly deploying and supporting a growing number of home-based users who need consistent access to corporate applications.

IT leaders are now having to consider:

• Do our professionals have computers, monitors, headsets, and other equipment at home that are suitable to their work requirements? What are the different requirements for different groups – for example architects, financial analysts, graphic designers?
• How will our teams stay productive and effective without the collaboration tools that we take for granted in the office – conference rooms, whiteboards, and even hallway conversations?
• How do we provide the security and protection for PCs at home that are equal to that in the office?
