Benefits
The Cisco Virtual Office solution addresses many of the key requirements associated with remote working for both end users and organizations alike. In doing so, it also provides benefits across three distinct organizational groups:
- For end users: Allows schedule flexibility and improves work-life balance by providing the ability to work at home or on the road. The solution also provides integrated family support with multiple SSIDs for wireless and separate VLANs for secure "split-tunnel."
- For IT groups: Simplifies the process of extending real-time, high-performance network services to remote locations. It also provides architecture for centralized, simplified management and operations, and contributes to improved scalability security, and low total cost of ownership.
- For businesses and organizations: Improves productivity of the workforce while saving costs associated with energy, facilities, and real estate. The solution also enables better business resiliency, allowing the workforce to stay secure and connected in the event of factors that prohibit employees from getting to the office, or when traveling.
