The devices that your employees use should be prepared for mainframe interaction, and should also be up-to-date for travel use. Chances are that the workers in your office will already be familiar with how to connect through mobile means, but new regulations might change the conditions they need to be aware of.
Business travelers may be used to switching their devices off before boarding a plane, but the TSA has put new measures into place that will actually require them to switch them on instead (before boarding).
CNN describes this initiative, which would only apply to those coming into the country through international checkpoints, but could still effect the way that employees conduct themselves in transit, especially since planes seem to be relaxing regulations regarding the use of devices on planes.
In a press release, Secretary of Homeland Security, Jeh Johnson described the continuing attempts to make air travel security stronger and protect the US.
"We are sharing recent and relevant information with our foreign allies and are consulting the aviation industry," he said. "These communications are an important part of our commitment to providing our security partners with situational awareness about the current environment and protecting the traveling public."
Encouraging the use of legacy applications within the office can protect your operations, even during travel. When you go somewhere and come back, your devices should still be applicable with the mainframe you have installed in your company, and when other offices make use of the same technology, you need to have the kind of mainframe modernization system that can provide consistent satisfaction and performance in all areas.
