The increasingly mobile and dispersed workforce of 2010 requires communications tools that are much different from those enabled by traditional enterprise systems. The marketplace of technologies designed to help business colleagues, partners, suppliers and even customers connect and collaborate wherever they are located is vast and sometimes confusing. 

To help put it all in context, we at Fierce are excited to announce the launch of our newest eBook, which deals with the issues of telework.

The business case for tools that facilitate telework seems to become more compelling daily. Rising travel costs, tighter product cycles, and the need for business continuity in the face of volcanoes, floods, blizzards and other disasters all point to the value in bringing people together in virtual environments whenever practical.

At the same time, technology improvements are making virtual meetings and remote collaboration more appealing. Video conferencing technologies provide smoother experiences than ever before, and there are offerings that meet any budget.

While the pace of change in enterprise communications and collaboration technologies makes it hard to predict the ways in which companies will connect internally and externally even a few years from now, it seems clear that business pressures will only demand more tools that improve the capabilities of remote workers. Download the eBook today and check out our overview of the remote communications and collaboration offerings that are currently available at diverse points in the market. - Caron
