More businesses 'embracing flexible working'

The importance of hosted software is getting more important as trends change, with one specialist in IT considering the expansion of one such issue.

Alistair McKinnon, the senior product manager at ntl:Telewest Business, explained that larger companies tend to have multiple locations and therefore travelling and home working becomes a major business importance, with a number of them using hosted services such as project management software.

However, small organisations are also "embracing more flexible working", the expert added, highlighting a growing market for software-as-a-service, whether it be online timesheets or resource scheduling software.

Mr McKinnon added: "Historically it required more knowledge of technology and was more expensive to do, therefore a bit harder to work out a business case for doing it. Whereas, these days, with a network-based service, even small companies can deploy multimedia.

According to a study by Citrix Online last month, 85 per cent of senior IT decision makers questioned said that UK businesses have increased investment in remote working over the past 12 months.
