Assignment 2: Telecommuting and the Mobile Worker
Due Week 4 and worth 100 points

The number of American telecommuters is expected to increase by 29
million telecommuters or 43% of the workforce by 2016 as more work gets
performed from remote locations. Mobile workers can work from wherever
they are and use the IT / IS technology necessary to access co-workers,
company or corporate infrastructure, intranets, and other information
sources.

Write a two to three (2-3) page paper in which you:

1. Describe
   the impact of telecommuting on energy conservation, IT operational
   costs, “green computing”, and shifts in telecommuters’ lifestyles (e.g.,
   parents, disability, etc.).
2. Describe how the business
   infrastructure should be designed so that employees will be able to
   continue to perform business functions in the event of a disaster (i.e.,
   storm, hurricane, or earthquake) that destroys or makes it impossible
   to access the buildings. 
3. Determine four (4) advantages and
   four (4) disadvantages of telecommuting from an IT manager’s point of
   view. Elaborate on each advantage and disadvantage.
4. Examine the
   effect of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) to the IT infrastructure with
   regard to security, IT support, knowledge, and data management, green
   computing, and telecommuting.
5. Use at least three (3) quality
   resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do
   not qualify as quality resources.
