Telecommuting and the Mobile Worker

The
number of American telecommuters is expected to increase by 29 million
telecommuters or 43% of the workforce by 2016 as more work gets
performed from remote locations. Mobile workers can work from wherever
they are and use the IT / IS technology necessary to access co-workers,
company or corporate infrastructure, intranets, and other information
sources.

Write a two to three (5-6) page paper in which you:

1. Thoroughly
   described the impact of telecommuting on energy conservation, IT
   operational costs, “green computing”, and shifts in telecommuters’
   lifestyles (e.g., parents, disability, etc.).
2. Thoroughly
   described how the business infrastructure should be designed so that
   employees will be able to continue to perform business functions in the
   event of a disaster (i.e., storm, hurricane, or earthquake) that
   destroys or makes it impossible to access the buildings.
3. Thoroughly
   determined five (4) advantages and five (5) disadvantages of
   telecommuting from an IT manager’s point of view. Thoroughly elaborated
   on each advantage and disadvantage.
4. Thoroughly
   examined the effect of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) to the IT
   infrastructure with regard to security, IT support, knowledge, and data
   management, green computing, and telecommuting.
