How favorably do IT managers look on stay-at-home workers, both those who toil in IT, and the rest of the company? Citrix Online, a division of thin-client software vendor Citrix Systems that offers Web-based remote-computing services, released the results of a recent survey that said almost a quarter of workers in the United States are telecommuters, and of those who aren’t, almost two thirds wish they were. Twenty-three percent (23%) of American workers (and 41% of small business owners) regularly work from home or another off-site location, relying on Web technology (e.g., the Internet, e-mail, or programs that allow them to remotely access their office computers or meet with colleagues online). Of those who currently do not have the ability to do their jobs off site, 62% agreed they would like to be able to do so.
