What businesses need to allow staff to work from home

There are many ways in which we can help you achieve this, please contact us for further information.

Migration to the Cloud

• Emails are migrated to Microsoft 365 to allow access from any internet-enabled device.
• Shared Data is migrated to SharePoint Online to allow access from any internet-enabled device.
• Users data is migrated to OneDrive to allow access from any internet-enabled device.
• Recommended Microsoft 365 Business Premium Licenses are £9.40 ex vat per user per month.
• Ideal for smaller businesses who need to access emails and data via an online system when away from the office.
• However, if the business run applications from their internal network, such as any none cloud versions of Sage then these applications would not be available for users when away from their office.

Virtual Private Network

Another one of the most popular questions we are being asked at the moment about the staff working from home is whether VPN is a requirement. Here is an example of the process however, please remember every business is different and prices will vary according to your requirements.

• Physical Firewall device is installed in the clients office which is for up to 10 users
• If the business has more than 10 users extra VPN licenses in bundles of 10 are issued
• A small application is installed on the users laptop or computer, the user would open this application and be prompted to enter a username and password. Upon successfully entering this password the laptop would then be connected to the internal network at the clients office. This would then allow the user to access any data and or applications that are hosted within their office.

Note: not all applications run successfully via a VPN, however most do. If the user has a very slow internet connection though they would struggle.

Telephony : Free calls to all UK landline and mobiles

Our staff are currently working remotely from their homes however some have to be onsite and for those occasions, we have implemented our own 'safe working practice' which includes:

• All staff being issued with disposable gloves and masks and told to keep at least 2 metres from onsite staff
• Hand sanitiser and sanitising wipes as well as large disinfectant wipes for shoes for before and after staff visits
• Staff being issued with adequate clothing so they can change this daily
• All staff also complying with the safety procedures in place by the companies they visit
