Business Continuity – Setup your office so you can work from virtually anywhere!

Current events have prompted many businesses to re-evaluate their working situation.  Some businesses will find the need to work remotely as much as possible.  At The Tech Zen, we want to make you aware of the current capabilities we can provide to our clients.

Remote Access – Being able to remotely access your office resources from home can be critical for your business. We can deploy a remote access solution on the computers in your office which will allow you to use a personal computer from another location to gain access to the applications and files at your office. Our preferred software for remote access is ScreenConnect but there are other options such as Teamviewer and Logmein that can also be deployed if needed.

Hosted VoIP – A majority of our clients use our Hosted Voice over IP Business Phone System which is a full-featured phone in the office that has the capability to be brought home and connected to the router in your home and this provides phone service as if you were in the office. This is a full-featured phone system and sometimes it can be less expensive than a traditional phone service while providing more features than those that are offered by your local phone company or ISP. Learn more about our Hosted VoIP Solution.

VPN – If you need access to the resources on your network in the office, we can review your current setup and configuration to see if a Virtual Private Network is the right solution for your situation.  Example:  If you use your laptop as your only business computer but still need to access systems and resources physically located in the office such as shared files/folders.  A VPN would allow you to use a single computer that will behave as if you were still in the office. This solution does require equipment to be configured in the office that will allow a remote computer to gain access to the network. A Static IP is also recommended for this solution.

Cloud File Storage – A cloud storage solution would enable a centralized location for your files that can be accessed from anywhere over the internet.  Example:  Multiple employees need access to the company files in order to work from home.  This solution provides an internet-accessible folder so employees can work on the same shared files as if they were in the office. This can be done with numerous platforms such as Axcient Anchor, Dropbox, One Drive, and more… We can help find the right solution for you.

Communication/Collaboration – Platforms such as Microsoft Teams which is part of Office 365 business can be utilized to collaborate, chat, conference calls, and share files for various projects. This is something that we can help provision and deploy quickly.

There are a number of solutions available that can be customized to fit your specific business needs.  Please reach out to us to discuss any of the options listed above.  It is our sincere hope that we can help you maintain as much continuity in your business as possible during this difficult time.
