While working from home and allowing employees do the same may not be how you want your business to run, there are few occasions where it can be needed to keep your business running. CFLnet has had years of experience working from home and setting up a number of users and businesses to do so.
VPN Connections
VPN connections are private and direct connections to the network and resources the user needs from any location. Think of it as a user working from a computer at home but it works as if they were sitting in the office as normal. This is typically done with a work computer the user takes home with them. VPN connections are encrypted and secure to ensure the security of your data.
Remote Computer Control
In this case the user connects to a PC in the office from any PC at a remote location. This means the user can use their own PC to connect to their office PC and access it as if they were sitting in front of it. There are a number of ways to do this depending on what needs to be accessed and what abilities the user’s home and work computer have.
Cloud Services
Cloud services are becoming more and more common in workplaces. Sometimes users and business owners aren’t even aware that their resources are cloud based and can be accessed outside their network. One example is email. In most cases no matter who your email provider is, you often don’t need to be in front of your specific PC to access email. Most email providers have ways for you to access email through a web browser instead of having to open the Outlook application each time.
