Remote work refers to especially office work done at home or on the different branch offices
of an employing company or a customer, maybe even in different country or continent. Remote
work started to increase in 1990's after the massive rise of it-technology and the internet
connections becoming more common. The dream of doing work in some remote tropical
paradise lying in a hammock on some sunny beach is actually possible, taken that the internet
connections are working in that paradise. The biggest obstacle for working from abroad and
faraway places was in the past and these days still are the slow and insecure connections in
many corners of the world.
The need to do the work remotely rises more often from the location of the customers' or the employing company's branch offices than from the need to have a semi vacation anyway, and remote work still is more common in western metropolises than on the countryside. Along with the remote work, the work can be also decentralized, which refers to for example that the team members of a working group can locate all in different corners of a city or the whole world.
Latest developments in the field of it technology and software development has made the employees and self-employed even more free from the location on the whole, and the e-work and businesses based solely on the expertise in it-technology or trades based on the internet connections are increasing all the time. Cloud services, such as for example Google, are in common use for example as a basic office work tools. Such tools as electronic accounting (in Finnish= sähköinen kirjanpito ) and shared virtual office spaces enable the real time online collaboration regardless of location.
