A File sharing and storage solution in the Cloud is a great fit for a business that just needs access to Files outside of the Office and/or any other software is web based and does not require access to a ‘Server’ to run.

Users access files from what appears to be a local folder or Mapped drive letter but is in fact accessing files stored in the Cloud or a remote location. Files can be easily accessed from various devices such as PCs, Mobiles, Tablets, etc.

Remote VPN

Remote Dial-in VPNs work well for users who just need access to Files that in a Mapped Drive or similar and need to be able to connect to a File server remotely.

A secure VPN Appliance is installed at the edge of the network in the Office and then users ‘dial-in’ to that appliance to then access the wider network by establishing a secure tunnel between the VPN Client software running on their device and the Office network.

Remote Working Options for Phones

Remote Phones

Many phone systems will these days have functionality to enable you to run a Deskphone at home and have it connect back to the main system in the Head Office as if it was just another extension on the system.

Usually all you need is an internet connection and some way to power the phone either via Power over Ethernet (PoE) or a separate power adaptor. Some re-configuration on the system may also be required but is usually minimal. Wireless solutions are also available for those who do not have good structured cabling or any but do require a very strong WiFi signal.

Pre-configured phones where needed can simply be shipped directly to site with easy instructions for how to plug in.
