Mobile Workforce in the 21st Century

The 21st century workforce is demanding a flexible work environment. Employees do not want to be constrained by an office or dealing with the traffic to and from work. Most information workers today can work from anywhere as long as they have an internet connection and a mobile device. This rapid shift in the workforce demands are threatening traditional organizations’ comfort zone. Organizations do not want data leaving the perceived safety net of their controlled environment and do face the real threat of data leakage and other real security risks. Organizations need to embrace the movement and address this head-on by building a mobile workforce strategy that is rooted in technology and flexible business processes.

Organizations will need to focus on technology and services that will allow their data to be accessed, processed and stored in a flexible, secure and compliant manner. Organizations can leverage public and private cloud services to adapt to this ever changing business landscape. The Chief Information Officer and Chief Information Security Officer will have to work with the line business leaders to build effective and efficient means to make the data and application available to those who need it, whenever they need it and wherever they need it. I contend in most cases a strategy can be developed to address any concern.
