Distributed Workplace
A stepping stone in the
‘network economy’
Building a Stronger America with Innovation and Technology
Evolution of IT Solutionsfor Remote Workers
Telework (Home Based) – Early 1970’s
Telework Centers (Modest Real Estate) – Early 1990’s
Distributed Workplace (Strategic use of Real Estate)
Greater Washington Area Telework Centers
The Challenges of Telework Not for every knowledge worker Home environment Isolation factor/envy factor Many need separation of work and home Management oversight resistance Last mile technology, security and support Most teleworkers are “occasional” users Lack of predictability for TDM and COOP Relies on PSN
POCKETS Distributed Workplace
Distributed workplaces are the combined use of a broad range of information technologies and strategic use of real estate for sustainable and secure economic and social advantage.
