Corporations both large and small have made significant investments in core IT systems. These investments have led to the installation of systems which are now so fundamental to the efficient operation of the business that it is hard to imagine how users would be able to do their jobs without access to the real-time corporate data such systems provide.
At the same time there is a demographic change away from purely office-based working - staff demand more flexible working practises, office space is becoming increasingly expensive and customers are demanding more face-to-face contact with staff. In short: your business will benefit if your staff get out more!
Surveys agree that there is an increasing trend towards 'mobile working' and that this will be one of the major areas of IT investment over the next ten years and that this will give a significant boost to the investment returns of a core IT system.
