Limpert Tech "SullyCast" on Radio 105.7 - The Home Office

Taking about products for your home office this week.

 

The digital world has created a new age that is taking over the traditional business model the world has grown with, known as the Age of the Telecommuter.  A “telecommuter” or “teleworker” is an employee who does not commute to an office or place of business but rather works from home.  One in five Americans work from home and the number continues to grow.  People are no longer driving through morning traffic to work at their cubicles from 9:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. Monday through Friday.  Technology has allowed one to use their mobile phones, tablets, laptops and more devices to video stream for communication and cloud drives to instantly share information beyond the office network.  The benefits found by those who choose to work from include less overhead as no office or supplies make for fewer expenses and great for startups and other looking to save money on rent.
