Even though the Open Work program at Sun Microsystems is well established, with over 50% of it's employees working flexibly, and with proven work practices, places and technologies for collaborating in a distributed and mobile workforce, Sun saw an opportunity to enhance it's approach to work still further with the acquisition of MySQL this year. Learn how that experience is being applied at Sun, and how it may benefit your organization too.
