Working Green: Bottom-line Benefits of Telecommuting and Secure Remote Access

Growing concern about global warming is spilling into the business world. Companies are exploring the benefits of telecommuting, allowing their employees to work remotely from home. Most importantly, telecommuting boosts disaster recovery. Secure remote access also shrinks a company's carbon emissions, cuts air pollution, trims real estate costs, boosts "green" reputations, and improves regulatory compliance. Telecommuting also decreases traffic congestion, lowers public infrastructure costs (roads, bridges, etc.) and reduces consumption of raw materials for new public infrastructure.
