Mobile working 2009 - The Concept

Mobile Working LargeIncreasing efficiency by implementing flexible working

Thursday 11 June - London

The concept of “mobile working” is becoming increasingly popular as it provides both flexibility and efficiency of working either in the field or at home, leading directly to performance improvement and cost savings for any organisation.

 

Increasing productivity and ensuring operatives can maximise efficiency is vital in the daily drive to reduce costs, speed-up resolution and disseminate information in an appropriate format to the right people at the right time.

 

There is a strong business case for the public sector, especially local authorities, to move towards the implementation of mobile services. Current advances in the capabilities of information and communication technology (ICT) offer vast opportunities to explore a wealth of options available to improve the delivery of public services. These include solutions that aim to reduce levels of social exclusion, improve access to services; and transform working environments and workspace culture.

 

Mobile applications also provide a key opportunity to enhance the delivery of service by relieving administrative burden and help to streamline operations. In turn, driving progress, cost, economic and fuel savings, reducing carbon emissions and contributing to the achievement of green objectives.
