SUMMARY
Abstract
This IDC study examines the current state of telecommuting in the United
States, profiling telecommuters as well as the companies that employ them.
Issues such as the amount of time spent telecommuting, the industries where
telecommuters work, and the size of the firms for which they work are examined.
"IDC estimates that by the end of 2012, there will be nearly 10 million
telecommuters in the United States - people who work at home three or more days
a month," says Merle Sandler, research manager in the SMB and Home Office
programs at IDC. "Although their number is no longer growing as quickly as it
was in the past, telecommuters continue to represent an important opportunity
for vendors of technology products and services. The range of telecommuting
activity means that no single program or technology solution is likely to meet
the needs of all telecommuters."
