The cloud – is it driving a leap in flexible working policies?
Posted on 10 Apr, 2013 by Guest in Business productivity, Collaboration trends | Leave a comment
I think cloud and particularly mobile technologies will persuade more employers to introduce flexible working. It already is. It is just a case of how long it will be before the office becomes a second thought. The ability to work flexibly is extremely valuable to people. This is particularly the case with those with young… Read more

In my second post on shifts we’re seeing in enterprise technology, let’s look at mobile devices. Given that the mobile phone celebrated its 40th birthday this week, it seems like the perfect time to examine how far the device has come over the last four decades.

There is an enormous amount being written about the mega trends of social, mobile and cloud.
