I grew up watching the television show 227–you know, back when sitcoms had catchy theme songs with words that people remembered and enjoyed singing? Random thought, I know…but as I was reading this Mashable article the second verse in 227‘s theme song popped into my head: “Time’s are changing everyday. We won’t get by with the same old ways.”

Further arm your workforce with technology. Mobility trends will not be exclusive to staff who are able to do their work offsite.
