Posted on March 2, 2020 by Gento
We are in the midst of the COVID-19 outbreak affecting China and many parts of Asia, which sees restrictions on travel and mass quarantine of suspected cases to curtail further spread.
In the face of such massive disruptions and threat of infection, your business urgently needs new strategies to function, while ensuring safely for every employee.
One approach immediately comes to mind — working from home — to minimize human interaction and prevent possible risk of transmission.
However, can your business continue operating with reduced manpower, or even without any physical presence, in the office?
Remote access and management presents the obvious answer.
Staff can work from home or a safe location, reducing possible infection exposure, yet having constant access to the company’s resources and services. They can still communicate virtually with their colleagues and work offsite to maintain the smooth flow of corporate operations.
Essentially, it will be business as usual.
Here are some key features you should consider when looking to invest in remote access for your company.
According to Market Research Future, major drivers of the remote access management market are the increasing employee strength globally and the flexibility to work from anywhere, anytime. It is simple, flexible and provides cost-effective licensing.
