IT solutions for increased productivity through homeworking

These days, the average London commute takes 81 minutes a day - which over the course of a typical week, represents several hours of non-productive time.

Simultaneously, broadband connectivity means that UK businesses operating online are being increasingly required to staff their operations around the clock in order to serve international customers in multiple time zones right across the world. 

To square this circle, even in a large enterprise environment, periodic homeworking is becoming increasingly accepted as a viable alternative to constant office-working. There are many benefits to this system - rather than replacing office culture, homeworking typically extends and increases business productivity, with employees benefiting from greater freedom and flexibility away from a fixed computer terminal, and work hours able to bend more flexibly around the projects on which people work. 

Another advantage of homeworking capability is in ensuring business continuity in the event that staff are unable to access premises, either due to working out of hours, or due to a legitimate emergency. In this way, the policies and technology required to implement computer system access from home are directly related and complimentary to those required for disaster recovery. 

At Itelo, our IT Management solutions mean that  in addition to devising suitable IT systems for the office-centric corporate environment, we also specialise in devising effective measures to enable homeworking, mobile working, and ensuring seamless productivity on the go. We are also committed to enabling employers to maintain suitable IT  control over employee activity outside the office, and ensuring the integrity of data security systems at all times. 

With Itelo, your IT systems are in safe hands. Get in touch and see how we can help!
