Remote Office Technology

Solutions for Productive Working From Home

Innovations that enable productivity outside of the office has made working remotely increasingly popular.  Enabling  productive working  from home solutions can also greatly pay off in times of major public safety and health  concerns. 

Consider for example, major weather events can that make commuting unsafe or even impossible,  national security events such as 9/11, and more recently, the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak.

These events can threaten not just health and safety, but also business continuity,  and have compelled many businesses to invest  in the technology to enable their employees to work remotely.  As companies face the possibility of disruption, determining the right IT solutions for this situation is critical.

Start with reliable Internet connectivity

Most high-speed home Internet access is sufficient for handling typical daily business activities.  Many home WiFi routers, however, are  not optimized to deliver seamless coverage, especially if there are other users in the home consuming bandwith.   Remote employees should instead use an ethernet connection to ensure reliable performance.

Have the right collaboration tools

Our technicians can ensure that you are set up with the right collaboration tools, such as Office 365, VoIP and chat/video conferencing programs to enable project transparency and real-time collaboration. Today’s collaboration tools feature much more than the ability to message co-workers. They also allow sharing and joint work on documents, incorporate video conferencing, and customer communication.
