Alternative workplace strategies such as telework and flex-work are transforming the way people and organizations do business. As organizations seek to recruit and empower skilled workers, workshifting provides a more attractive experience in which people can choose the ideal time, place and device for their work. By enabling full productivity beyond the constraints of physical offices and traditional work hours, organizations can reduce real estate, travel and labor costs. Anywhere, any device access to desktops and apps improves business continuity.

 To be effective, a workshifting strategy must address three fundamental requirements: 

• People must be able to work in the same way they would in the office, with full access to desktops, apps and files  
• People need to be able to interact and collaborate with co-workers just as easily as if they are physically located in the same place 
• IT must be able to secure and control business information to maintain protection, privacy and compliance
