Isn’t mobile officing the same as teleworking?
No, not exactly. Mobile officing refers to a larger scope of activity, whereas teleworking has historically been associated with “working from home.” However, the delineation is not as simple as it sounds. Some experts refer to telework as an umbrella term encapsulating all forms of mobile work. Confusing the issue further is the term “telecommuting” which is often used to describe work-at-home programs. AgilQuest uses the term mobile officing to define all forms of work that require the worker to work outside the traditional office. Mobile officing is a new work paradigm gaining acceptance in all sectors, and is greatly influenced by advances in communication technology.
