Emergent Leverages Adobe Connect to Telework During Historic Snowstorms Ensuring Continuity of Operations

VIENNA, Va., Feb. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Emergent, an award winning small business and IT solutions provider, announced today it has completed another successful week of teleworking by leveraging Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro during the historic snowstorms which blanketed the DC Metro area.  Telework, also known as telecommuting, is designed to allow employees to work from another location other than the worksite, including home or remote sites.  Telework popularity has increased over the past few years, with GSA and OPM leading the charge in the government -- encouraging all government agencies to implement programs in order to reduce traffic and emissions, improve employee productivity, while saving time and money.

Emergent launched their telework program several years ago when they brought Adobe on as a flagship vendor.  With Adobe onboard, Emergent quickly realized the benefits of Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro, a real-time collaboration solution vital for providing Continuity of Operations (COOP). Due to the recent snowstorms in the area, Emergent employees have been able to conduct business as usual, utilizing the technology put in place to effectively telework from their homes around the DC Metro Area.

"We were happy that the investment we made in Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro enabled us to remain open and productive during the Blizzards of 2010," said Greg Christensen, President.  "Without the ability to telework, we would not have been able to support our customers with the time and attention they expect in support of their agencies mission or business goals."
