The need for flexible working is paramount these days, and that means full access to IT system and data from any location. The days of being tethered to the office are well and truly over; thanks to improved security, speed and reliability on the internet it is possible to connect to your company’s network in a secure manner from just about anywhere: at home, at a customer’s premises, in a hotel, in an airport lounge on the other side of the world.
The possibilities opened up by remote working are enormous. For instance:
A salesperson on the road equipped with a laptop and a mobile broadband connection can connect back to the office for the latest sales and stock information.
A director can connect back from home in the evenings.
A home-based worker can have full access to everything they need.
For staff needing just access to, say, email, contacts and appointments, a BlackBerry or other Smartphone can provide that information in “real time”.
Remote working can also save you a lot of money. Many businesses operate from expensive premises, but those premises are often under-utilised with maybe half the staff elsewhere at any given time. There may be scope to move to smaller, cheaper, premises and provide full-featured remote access to those who are not in the office. The savings are potentially thousands or even tens of thousands of pounds per year depending upon circumstances.
No matter what your requirements, OfficeNetExpress can provide a full-featured, reliable but above all secure remote access solution.
