Sun Open Work Consulting Practice Announced!

It is a very exciting day for the iWork Solutions team. Today we announced Sun's Open Work Consulting Practice. It is a consulting practice that allows us to help our customers as they study and implement distributed work programs. What we have to offer is the expertise we have gained in the past ten years as we have developed and deployed the internal work infrastructure program we call iWork.

The consulting practice is an integrated business solution with HR, IT & WR that allows account executives to speak to new decisions makers in the accounts they are calling on. This solution is part of the SNAP (Secure Network Access Platform) to deliver Mobility w/Security solution to enterpirse customers mobile and distriuted workforces.

The individauls I work with in the iWork Solutions Group are exceptional. Some of them have been in the group since before we opened our first flexible office ten years ago. They have unique knowledge about how to develop and evolve a distributed work program. We have developed tools, processes and programs that work. In our ten year journey we have had both successes and opportunities to learn. This consulting service allows us to leverage our experience and share what we have learned.

We have piloted this consulting offering with customers and have developed success stories aobut our experiences with Bank of America and within Sun. We are all really looking forward to expanding and developing this practice in the year ahead. I plan to talk about it more in this blog in the future.
