Federal road warriors have offices on-the-go
That Starbucks around the corner can mean big savings for federal
agencies seeking to provide virtual workplaces for their employees, especially

allow workers to move to telework – with savings potentially in the

ditching all but 1,000 of its 13,000 desktop computers, the article said.
