In today’s world Telecommute is fast becoming a buzzword in the job market. Research is rapidly proving that telecommuting is making organizations increasingly efficient. Working remotely is now a viable, affordable solution for every company and employee. With the advances in broadband Internet access and VPN (Virtual Private Network) hardware and software, telecommuters can now enjoy the flexibility of remote access.
There are different reasons for permitting remote access to employees. It’s a convenient way for organizational staff to access emails, shared folders and other resources after-hours or when traveling. It also provides employees the ability to stay on top of their work during sick days, snow days and vacation. Limited office space sometimes necessitates the need for full-time telecommuters who still need access to all the resources to execute their work seamlessly.
A VPN solution will access your work system in a secure manner just as you would at the office. Dilima will provide all services required to make your telecommuter’s job a breeze with the exception of a broadband Internet connection. However, Dilima can help you identify and work with reliable Cable, DSL or FiOS providers to get your telecommuter up and running.
There are excellent options when choosing the right remote access solution for your office:
- Windows XP’s Remote Desktop. This option allows you to connect directly to your office PC. Once you establish a secure VPN connection to your office, you can take advantage of Windows XP’s RDP feature. It’s just like sitting at your office workstation.
- Microsoft Terminal Services. Have a dedicated server, loaded with your company’s applications, available to remote users after they establish a remote connection. This option is geared toward telecommuters and employees without a dedicated office workstation.
From start to finish, Dilima will design, implement and train your telecommuter to use a remote access solution customized to fit your needs.
