Trends: Department of Defense and Teleworking: Bill Vass interesting take of the examples of Applied Information Technology. “When Sun began their iWork program in 2002, they originally used planning ratios of 1.4 sales force employees for each office “seat” of real estate acquired and of 1.2 home campus employees per “seat.” Based on the program’s success, Sun currently uses ratios of 3.0 sales force employees per “seat” and 1.6 home campus employees per seat. With computations made on real estate and employee support costs over the past five years, Sun has determined that fixed office employees cost them approximately $10K per year, flex employees cost them approximately $6.5K per year, and home assigned employees cost them approximately $3.5K per year. If these types of savings were scaled to the more than 180,000 employees DoD reports as “eligible to telework,”16 potential savings of greater than $250M per year could be added to the projected BRAC savings of $600M per year as currently projected.”
