Psomas was also faced with the challenge of adapting to a new
business environment that requires more flexibility in order to meet
the needs of an increasingly distributed and mobile workforce. "There
are a number of factors at play," said Pinckney. "First, we have
many employees that frequently work from client or job sites that
need to maintain access to large files while on the road. And just as
we need to enable people to work from remote locations, we must also
be flexible enough to enable employees to effectively work from home
whenever needed. There is a lot of competition for talent in today's
market, and in order to get and retain the best people, we need to
provide employees the ability to work wherever they are."
"Steelhead Mobile is a powerful tool for us," Pinckney said.
"Combined with 3G cards, workers can access, download and collaborate
on large files -- such as CAD or PowerPoint files -- within just a
minute or two, no matter where they are in the world. We would have
never even thought of being able to download these large files over a
3G card before Steelhead Mobile. And more importantly, remote and
mobile employees are no longer difficult to collaborate with -- they
can operate with the rest of their team just as if they were in the
next cubicle. We even have a remote employee who said that, with
Riverbed, he feels like he is truly 'part of the team' for the first
time."
