Users have multiple tools to complete their work assignments. It is a 24X7 job. Most corporate employees carry cell phones and pagers outside their business hours to make themselves available. In the office employees have powerful computers/workstations to communicate with others or access the corporate/Internet information. 

Individuals are using bandwidth-hungry applications such as file transfers, desktop conferencing, groupware, video servers, tele-training, video-on-demand, Internet shopping and Internet banking.

The new work mode is collaborative computing with dispersed project teams.
