Charlie Grantham and I completed presenting a webinar on “The Future of Work:  IT’s Role in Enabling Mobile Work” just a few hours ago.
The webinar was sponsored by Citrix Online, and included our reporting out the results of an extensive survey we recently completed of IT professionals and their views about the challenges and opportunities surrounding mobile work. The survey was also sponsored by Citrix.

Among the topics we covered:

• Why mobile work is real – and here to stay

• What challenges the mobile workforce creates for IT

• Why remote access is just as important as having a laptop and a cell phone

The session is now available for viewing online whenever you wish. Just click here and you should have your Windows Media Player or other media player open right up and start playing.

The whole session takes about 50 minutes; we’re on for about 30 minutes, followed by an online demo of Citrix Online’s GotoMyPC software that does just that - it lets you access a remote PC from anywhere and work on it just as if you were sitting in front of it.

Hope you’ll find some time to listen to the webinar - it’s mostly about the issues and challenges facing IT organizations as they gear up to support mobile workers, but we also spent the first ten minutes or so talking about why mobile work is growing so rapidly (hint, it’s not just because technology makes it relatively easy - there’s much more to it than that).

We think you’ll find the session interesting and informative.
