Increasing the Business Value of Mobility
Monday, December 22nd, 2008Mobile computing has become a strategic asset for Intel. Wireless-enabled notebooks increase the productivity per average employee by more than five percent and help to create a more efficient work environment. Today, approximately 80 percent of Intel employees use a notebook as their primary business tool. Now we are working to take the mobility of our workers to the next level by taking a look at our overall mobile strategy.
The result is a major upgrade of our mobile computing solutions coupled with a redesign of our physical office space.
