According to a recent Reuters poll, remote worker access represents a surprisingly large fraction of the current global workforce; roughly 10% of all workers worldwide are full-time telecommuters. Inside the US, matters aren’t much different with Forrester estimating that approximately 34 million Americans work from home already, on a full or partial basis. The research firm expects that number to grow to a staggering 63 million by 2016.

Remote worker access represents a unique set of challenges. The fact that IT never touches the device means the organization must find new strategies to get these workers onboard, integrate them into the infrastructure, and then subsequently manage their devices – all while observing security mandates and keeping a tight lid on operational costs.

So, what are the best ways for IT to manage remote worker’s workspaces?
