The Rise in Enterprise Technology

The business world never sleeps, no matter what industry you’re in. It doesn’t matter if you’re the company owner or an employee trying to work your way up from the bottom you still understand that work is essentially a 24/7 business.

The Internet and technology as a whole has opened up a whole new world for businesses of all sizes and disciplines. Small firms working out of industrial units in sleepy towns now have access to customers all over the world, and this means they have to remain in touch with them and track progress. The answer to this is based around enterprise technology with developers working on enterprise mobile solutions which help people to stay in constant communication with their workplace wherever they might be.

These systems are also designed to help manage those working outside the office, either during the evenings, on a day working from home, or whilst out working in a different location – such as a building site hundreds of miles from the main office, or in a second office somewhere else in the country – helping the staff members to stay in constant communication with the office, and the managers to monitor progress and answer any queries that may have come out of the day’s work.

Communication is key in all industries, every manager and team head appreciates that, but flexibility is also essential. There is no structured 9 to 5 working day anymore, especially when some staff members are working out in the field. This presents another issue regarding security. With so many people potentially working on the project, dotted all over the country, anyone could have access to confidential information. Fortunately, developers have created a format that allows those in charge of the enterprise to grant access to those whose input is essential, as opposed to every single member of the company.

One of the biggest challenges for those working out in the field is that requirements and specifications change and more resources and time are needed. For instance, you’ve been working on a building site for three weeks and everything you’ve needed to complete the task has been allocated to you and signed out of the warehouse or storage unit. However, the weather has taken a turn for the worse and you’re unable to complete the job on time and the materials you’re using have been allocated to another project starting the day after yours is scheduled to finish. With your ongoing project delayed, giving instant feedback to the main office about how much longer it will take and the number of people required will help the management team reallocate resources accordingly and make sure you have enough manpower to finish the task.
