Mobility As A Service

Mobile workforce solutions bring management and workforce together for one common purpose: to provide state of the art IT technology that gives remote workers access to their network based data and applications while on the road and ensures failsafe security for transmitted data and full network policy compliance by those workers while away from the office. Cloud based mobile workforce solutions make this happen.

Just how do mobile workforce solutions accomplish this. Cloud based technology has replaced LAN as the office IT paradigm. LAN based networks that are physically restrained by the four walls of an office are fast becoming irrelevant in a world where information and communications are instanteously transmitting by wireless phones and handheld devices. There no longer are any boundaries or limits. Mobile workforce solutions can corral all the data flying through the clouds to and from a mobile workforce with the help of a secure network of laptops and handheld devices that workers use to remain in touch with the company while on the road.

Mobile workforce solutions are based on the premise that company servers need not be physically located at the office. Web based services are the trend of the future, and any company looking to remain competitive in the 21st Century needs to recognize this. The trend for workers themselves is going toward stepping outside the traditional 9 to 5 office cubicle paradigm toward more mobile locations like an airport or beside a backyard pool.

Of course, as noted above, this new state of the world raises network compliance and security issues. How to keep the mobile workforce updated with the latest security patches and policy updates to minimize risk to the company. Mobile workforce solutions provide an IT department with the means to download the latest security patches and anti virus software to each endpoint unit with every activation and ensure that the personal firewall on each unit remains fully operational. Any unit with a non functioning firewall is prevented from accessing the network. What a relief it will be to know that the company network cannot be infected with outside viruses picked up by remote units. Cloud based IT infrastructures give companies control over compliance and security like no other.

Mobile workforce solutions also include data backup services in their service platforms. They ensure that data is automatically backed up in a secure offsite facility for rapid recovery should a network experience service interruption. IT managers can rest easy that network data will remain secure with cloud based technology.
