SMEs eye remote access tech

Codestone.

This is the view of Martin Lyne, director of SME marketing at T-Mobile, who stated that the proliferation of devices such as smartphones is providing companies with opportunities to enhance their business continuity.

By allowing workers to use mobile devices in flexible home working applications, firms can maintain contact with staff members on a constant basis via e-mails and texts.

The Motivation Group notes that T-Mobile has suggested that small businesses could benefit from smartphones and other mobile technologies as they boost staff performance wherever they are.

"Mobile technology is becoming increasingly important in all walks of life. Workers expect the same technology at work as in their personal lives," says Lyne.

According to You at Work, companies who issue the latest smartphone devices to staff could well be the employer of choice.

Communication devices are becoming a vital component of SMEs and many are exploring the perks of handing their workforce a new phone.
