For many years there was a clear distinction between ‘office hours’ and ‘time off’.

But the world is changing. The mobile phone has made key employees highly available at all times. The internet means previously impossible forms of communication are now de-rigeur. And in a globalised marketplace, business is conducted internationally, with all the knock-on effects of travel and different time zones.

Furthermore, recent UK legislation allows for flexible working hours and extended periods of maternity/paternity leave. A lot of businesses are now finding that they are hamstrung by their inability to give key staff access to their systems when out of the office.

Dean & Hilton can advise on a wide range of solutions that provide just this geographical flexibility and mobility. The suitable level of service provision depends entirely on your requirements and your budget. A simple approach is to allow users with laptops to connect remotely to the office from home, or from a hotel bedroom. At the other end of the scale is full availability of all office services from any internet-enabled location such as an internet café. Whatever suits your organisation, don’t get left behind as the communications revolution continues apace.
