So, what is an anywhere worker?
Most of us have come across the term ‘anywhere worker’ now, referring to the current breed of employee who (thanks to modern technologies) can operate and collaborate from anywhere at any time on any device. Marlin Communications are pleased to provide solutions covering many of the facets involved in becoming an anywhere worker, which include:
- Mobile phone integration with UC platforms
- Business mobile voice and data airtime & hardware
- Mobile device management
- Audio and Video conferencing – including content sharing
- Digital pen & form solutions
- Lone worker protection
- Network security & remote access
According to a study conducted by Unify (formerly Siemens Enterprise Communications), 85% of mobile devices used for communication with colleagues are being used outside the workplace. This highlights how employees are making delivery of work from different locations across different platforms a reality. Two-fifths of UK organisations have also indicated they intend to deploy cloud technology this year in a bid to further boost flexible working practices and collaboration with employees working away from the office. Industry leaders recognise the rise of the anywhere worker may mean the end of the traditional nine-to-five office employee. “The rise of the anywhere employee has meant the end of the office worker. Business tools, such as UC, are reshaping the way organisations collaborate and are helping deliver on the previously-too-difficult promise of enhanced communication.” Created by William Wood – Senior Account Manager
