by Maryann Lawlor

Richard Jordan, manager, Flex-Work, Sun Microsystems Incorporated, works on a Sun Ray thin client at a company drop-in center in Santa Clara, California. Classified ads that read “Work From Home” are appealing to everyone who faces a long commute each day.

The recent wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have generated a wealth of information about information—specifically, technologies that are at the core of network-centric operations. The U.S. Army, which long has been transitioning to a force built around information technology (IT) capabilities, gleaned considerable experience from those conflicts.
