“Starting to travel for work again?” It’s a common question among my friends and colleagues, and one where the answer is 'yes' more and more often. Between sales teams returning to partner and customer sites, and technicians supporting reopened satellite offices, many are returning to the road and sky. Recently, I’ve been focusing more on what is needed for an IT Pro to equip and support an increasingly mobile workforce. As someone who, at various points in my career, has been both on the road professionally and supported others who work on the road, I know firsthand that the right accessories matter. Small choices make the road warrior more productive while requiring less ongoing support. Three aspects stand out for me: getting connected, being powered, and staying organized & protected. A sometimes-daunting task, this involves choosing the right adapters for boardroom video connections, making sure laptops, tablets, and phones can stay charged, and keeping all the various parts (and data) organized and protected. And so, we’ve created a range of resources to help you, the IT Pro, help your teams perform. "Carrying a compact, versatile, portable accessory, like a multiport adapter, not only makes travel easier but helps them stand out from the competition." In conversations with our own road warriors, I’ve understood anew the importance of making the best of limited time in front of customers. Carrying a compact, versatile, portable accessory, like a multiport adapter, not only makes travel easier but helps them stand out from the competition. Our new Mobile Workforce Solutions Portal makes your job easier and your users more productive on the road. You’ll find all-new resources, including videos and my IT Pro Brief, that expand on the key aspects I mentioned above. Mobile Workforce Solutions Portal Upcoming: my colleague Barry is writing a series of blog posts with more detail on related topics, like high-speed NVMe (NVM Express) drive enclosures and DP Alt (DisplayPort Alternative) Mode for USB-C adapters!
