At the same time, the IT environments are becoming more complex, thus increasing the exposure to all forms of IT risk. The fact is, if one doesn't get IT risk under control, one puts the entire business at risk. That's why Symantec believes there has never been a better time for taking a comprehensive approach to IT Risk Management.   
whitepaper Easy, Integrated Solution Gives Workers Remote Access, Improved Productivity2007-07-13 Microsoft
  ROI, the Dutch Institute for Public Administration, is a nonprofit foundation based in the Netherlands that provides training to government offices in Europe. Many ROI training consultants work from home, accessing the ROI system through a Virtual Private Network (VPN). However, security management was difficult for administrators, because there was no integration between the VPN solution and the company's Windows-based IT infrastructure. The VPN solution was also unreliable, so remote employees often had to travel into the main ROI office to do their work. ROI recently implemented Whale Communications Intelligent Application Gateway, a remote-access solution that is part of the Microsoft Forefront line of business security products. Now employees can easily retrieve information from home, so they are more productive.

whitepaper Assessing the Role of Information Technology (IT) & Enterprise Software in BPO2007-05-01 EquaTerra
  The original market assessment findings illustrated that these BPO decision makers were very positive about the role of IT in general and enterprise software in particular in supporting BPO efforts. They clearly recognized that while BPO was focused on "business process," it was not advisable to disassociate it from the underlying IT applications and systems. BPO buyers also had clear preferences on the commercial enterprise software vendors they would like to use in their BPO efforts. Commercial software vendor preferences, however, typically were based on strategic IT investment decisions that had been made prior to, and separate from, BPO decisions and investments. The overall challenge, however, is not so much appreciating the value of IT and enterprise software to BPO.
