Go talk to IBM - maybe not today's "poster child" trendy IT company - but they started home (and remote location of any kind) working in the late 1980s with very early experiments (PCs with no hard drives and 300kb modems!) and by the early 2000's this was pervasive around the world for the dominant proportion of their staff. It is now so ingrained it is impossible to imagine the company without it.
If you want to understand the technology needed, the cultural change it takes (particularly in management) then you could do a lot worse than use IBM to help any company make this change.
