Remote working from the office is becoming ever more popular. Alliance Solutions offers a range of solutions for maximising productivity from remote sites, whether they be home or remote offices.

Giving employees the ability to work away from the office, often at home, offers many advantages for both the employee and the organisation they work for.

The most common scenario is that an employee needs access to files and email on the office network when they are at home. This is normally achieved by using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) from their home to the office. This type of connection sends encrypted data to and from the office network over a broadband Internet connection.

The employee can then access files and email just as if they were in the office. There are restrictions with this kind of connection due to speed limitations. However, there are normally easy ways to avoid these problems.

In addition to accessing data on the network, it is also possible to connect a remote user to the company phone system as a normal extension if a VoIP phone system is used.

If you are interested in this kind of solution or you are already using remote working but would like to know how to improve reliability and performance, please contact us for more information.
