Flexible Working

The Internet can deliver on the dream of working anywhere and at anytime. The challenge facing businesses is how to actually deliver the dream now that the business is aware of the possibilities.

Frontier Technology provides innovative solutions for organisations that are embracing flexible working practices. With legislation now effectively making home-working capabilities mandatory, there is a need to explicitly demonstrate capabiities to deliver business systems in a secure manner with the highest levels of accessibility.

This is not a story about ‘thin client’ technology or secure Intranets, although these may play their part. This is instead a capability based upon the smart use of the existing IT investment, used in an innovative manner to provide employees and business partners with access to critical business systems whilst keeping support costs and risks to an acceptable level.

This is also a story of satisfying legislation, supporting the changing demands of the organisation, encouraging better business practices and staying competitive.

When online and offline access to business systems are required,
Frontier Technology has proven solutions.

Client Example
A major manufacturer with a reputation for product innovation was losing talented staff partly resulting from their poor office location. Commuting, safety concerns and parenting requirements were encouraging key staff to look for opportunities within alternative areas.

The introduction of flexible working practices based upon secure access to all business systems and a network that accommodated messaging and voice stopped the trend and also provided the mobile sales force with a new level of information access resulting in faster order and more accurate order processing.
