Brien Posey's Guide to Practical Telecommuting

Brien Posey's latest book is designed to act as a hands on guide for various enterprise networking products such as Exchange 2007, Office Communications Server 2007, Windows Mobile, and Windows Server, with an emphasis on telecommuting. The book explains how telecommuting can be beneficial to businesses and employees alike, and then proceeds to demonstrate how to use technology to make telecommuting practical.
