This White Paper explores the fundamental question in the title: how come Distributed Work isn't being embraced to the degree many of us have thought it would be by now? This is a Very Big Question - one that reminds us of the 1990's quandary about collaborative software: why should anyone use it, what gets in the way of widespread use, and what can be done to promote it? We believe the same three questions have to be asked - and answered - regarding Distributed Work. What makes it compelling in the first place? Why isn't it being embraced.

Web conferencing as a general-purpose business tool has undergone tremendous growth in adoption and usage over the past few years. While many think of web conferencing as a large enterprise application, in fact it has shown remarkable attractiveness to Small to Medium Enterprise (SME) users as well. Citrix Online asked Wainhouse Research to conduct an independent web survey to a portion of the Citrix GoToMeeting Corporate customer base. The goal was to identify which applications and underlying motivating factors are driving SME's to use web conferencing, what SME users think about the results they have achieved, and whether the technology has become essential for conducting business. Wainhouse Research received over 1,500 valid responses and highlights from the survey results follow in this white paper.
