From the Paper:

"Today, more than ever, having the ability to access important data remotely and to communicate is crucial. Businesses competing in the modern and increasingly globalized marketplace must focus the abilities on gaining access to information quickly, securely, and reliably. This new business model has been termed the "virtual office" by some, and provides employers with the opportunity to retain valuable employees by offering them the ability to work from home, gives remote office employees the same services as the employees at a main location, and enables field representatives to connect effectively to the organization's local area network (LAN) from virtually anywhere in the world (Thomas, 2002)."
