The Information Age is now upon us, an age when computers connected to communications networks are changing very quickly the way we work, play and organise. All organisations are changing the way they work and trade. Patterns of work have changed and most people are able to choose when and where to work.
Teleworking is an accepted way to work.
We in 1999 must prepare for this era now upon us and put systems in place to ensure that Ireland will progress to the forefront in the E-commerce world. Teleworking is an important part of this organisational change. Teleworking is 'a way of working using information and communication technologies in which work is carried out independent of location'. Teleworking is not a job but a way of working. Learning how best to use teleworking is good groundwork for the Information Age.
