The COVID 19 pandemic has drastically altered the way businesses conduct operations. No longer is work confined to the office; no longer is work attached to a desk - or a desktop or a laptop. I would like Rocket Optics to become a workplace centered around mobile devices.

Benefits of Mobile Devices There are many advanced capabilities of today's mobile devices, including: coding web applications joining online meetings linking to personal computing devices Rocket Optics has already been contacted by government ministries who are looking to increase workplace flexibility and employee mobility while lowering overall costs, so this could be an effective business plan as well.
