How can the Cloud help a Mobile Workforce be more Productive?

There is an increasing need for team members to be out of the office and still need to keep up to date on information regarding customers, projects or generally just to stay in touch with the office and remain part of the decision making loop.

However, there is a strong push from users (especially sales teams) to start moving away from Laptops and towards tablet devices (especially Apple’s iPad). Traditionally this would have been a road block, but now with the Cloud this is not a problem.

With Remote Desktop apps and the (optional) Citrix XenDesktop solution almost any device (including mobile Smartphones and Tablets) can get access to your business applications – without concern for the underlying operating system.

With good usability even over mobile 3G networks you can always get to your business applications wherever you are.


Why provide Online Access?

By giving a mobile workforce an on-line Cloud solution for Mobile Access you are giving them the ability to work from wherever they are. Maximising the time available to work with and update business systems, avoiding the delaying of waiting until they are back in the office.

This makes them and the rest of their team much more efficient as it enables a more “real time” decision making and knowledge sharing environment. Helping get more of the information that is in individuals heads out onto a proper system that the team can access and benefit from.

Examples of where Online Cloud Computing helps ensure:

  • Orders are processed faster so customers get their goods and services quicker; making them happier and improving cash flow.
  • Information is much more real-time to help customer services to improve customer satisfaction.
  • Reports are more accurate and timely to enable better and faster decision making.
  • “Field workers” are more up to date so they are able to talk confidently to customers and prospects and can be kept informed of schedule changes easily.
  • “Large file” information for users (such as images, drawings and documents) are presented faster as there is no transfer time; helping them perform their roles more efficiently and ensure they have access to the up to date information.
  • Whatever device they use they see the same applications and data, giving you the choice to use the best device for users’ needs and also get users up and running fast.
  • Any lost or broken devises that can be replaced are up and running in no time as the software and data the user needs is on the Cloud and not on the lost device.

Why is this not available as standard?

“In each company I worked for I had to have the same core infrastructure setup, the same security hardening features and so many of the same software applications. Why is this not all setup and available as standard?

And why was it that only the bigger companies with sizable IT budgets benefited from such fundamental requirements being met?”
