As the need to work remotely increases, technology will have to continue to improve.
Here are some of the changes we can expect to see in the coming months and years:
In a recent study into the work-life balance of South African office workers, conducted by FreedThinkers on behalf of Citrix, 54% of workers indicated that they would be very likely or slightly likely to work from home if their employer allowed it.
People are demanding the ability to work from locations that best enable them to get their jobs done. And with this comes increased job satisfaction while also delivering a more flexible and agile organisation that is better equipped to deal with the increased speed of change in today's business climate.
In the coming years, we expect a major change in how business and IT enable its workforce. Whether people are working from new and exciting locations, from new devices and OSes, or with new apps that make collaboration easy from anywhere, becoming software defined will reinvent how people work, accelerating business mobility.
