International Data Corp predicts that as much as a third of the workforce will be remote in just 3 years. With half of all American owning smartphones, and millions of tablet PCs being shifted every month, more people than ever are carrying mobile computing devices.
This has led to more corporate and business responsibilities than ever before being conducted on the move. Travel managers are at the forefront of this trend: managing expenses, booking tickets, reserving hotel rooms and keeping in touch with a mobile workforce.
