Still Struggling to Get the Office to Work From Home?
As a response to the COVID-19 pandemic, CloudNexus Technologies, a Louisville-based IT and Cyber Security managed service provider, has been helping new and existing customers convert to a remote workforce setup. There are several actions companies can take to enable their office workers to work from home. Even if the company does not have all of the technical capabilities required to completely convert to a remote workforce, there are steps that can be taken to allow critical employees to work remotely.
VoIP: If you have a Voice over IP phone system,
in many cases, the handsets can either be taken home with the employee or a softphone app can be used on a personal smart phone that will not impact mobile plans. Some of these setups take no configuration at all and others will require a Virtual Private Network.
VPN: Virtual Private Network
is a key element for many companies where employees need access to file and print services, financial applications and other critical systems that will remain in the office. A virtual private network provides the ability of key users to remotely access securely, information and operate as if they were in their physical office. An example would be QuickBooks. If you install the QuickBooks application on your home PC and connect to your work network via a VPN, you will be able to access your company file at your office.
Another Option:
Another option is to add remote access software to employee work computers and then launch a remote session and have them do all of their work from home while on their work computer that is still in the office.
