At this point the vast majority of businesses around the country understand the fact that there are benefits to a mobile workforce. Remote workers are of huge value, while employees throughout the organisation being able to answer client and colleague queries while on the move is an enormous plus.

Put together, all of this is enabling organisations to work more flexibly than ever before, keeping employees happy and productive by helping them to work across the their various devices.

At the same time thankfully, more and more companies recognise that they need to manage the security aspect of all this as well. The need to keep data safe and secure, while allowing employees to access what they need to, and when.

However, for some there is still some reticence regarding various elements in mobility, with some fearing the ‘Bermuda Triangle’, as many in the industry have coined it, of security, regulatory requirements and end-user performance demands.

Then comes the ‘bring your own device’ (BYOD) phenomenon which affects everyone from the boardroom to the shop floor. With each and every outside device also comes outside consumer apps and cloud services, which can be deployed without the knowledge of IT departments.

So while the benefits of having a workplace anywhere you go is obvious, the threat of ‘losing your IT’ is just as apparent. In order to fend off this possibility then it’s imperative that businesses out there protect themselves with a sufficient plan and suitable software solutions to manage the situation.

At Fujitsu, our Workplace Anywhere strategy makes it possible to deliver a computing and communications experience that is personalised for each and every employee at scale.

The key driver is to make the best use of end users time, improve agility, drive the cost and simplify management. Whether you are using a tablet PC, smart phone, laptop or desktop PC, we can create a solution that allows your staff to access applications, data and tools they require whenever needed. All of which can be centrally managed and securely delivered.

Lowering your costs and providing your business with the highest service standards possible, Workplace Anywhere is a unique combination of end user service offerings with managed mobile and virtual client services.

It provides enterprises with the reassurance that their mobile workforce are able to work securely and meet compliance requirements, while also enjoying optimised system performance.

Part of our wide range of mobile services we provide, we can manage and update devices using a virtualised blended service. Our end-to-end service covers desktop and mobile, communication and collaboration, with solutions that are device, carrier and data-source agnostic.

In addition to all this, here at Fujitsu we offer a workplace strategy and assessment service. A packaged advisory offering that helps define the best strategy for you, it takes into account your existing environment, recommends the right virtualisation opportunities and identifies potential cost and efficiency savings, as well as possible migration scenarios.
