Getting Online From Home

Many London area businesses have taken advantage of remote work technology to let their employees work from home during heavy snowfall. Getting remote access setup for your company is simpler than you might think. Years ago, remote computer access was cumbersome, slow, and unreliable, but today there are a variety of technology solutions that can be quickly implemented to get your company into “virtual mode” in a matter of hours.

Cloud Computing

If your company uses mostly standard office tools like word processors, email and web-based programs, cloud computing may be just the thing for you. Cloud computing turns computer access into a service based model where you pay for only the resources you use. Your employees can use any computer to logon and access their files, send emails, and perform other basic functions. All they need is a computer with Internet access. The programs and data reside on secure, pooled computers which share the workload of multiple users. Cloud computing could revolutionise the way you look at computer use.

Remote Desktop

Remote desktop technology allows you to connect to another computer and work on it as if actually sitting at the console. Your computer simply becomes a viewing window into the other computers desktop, hard drives, and programs. Various types of remote desktop solutions exist, and usually require a good Internet connection to keep things fast and secure. It can only take a few quick modifications for your work computers to accept a remote desktop session for when you have to work from home.

Virtual Private Network

For large organisations that need full access to their systems, databases, and servers from a remote location, a virtual private network – or VPN – is a perfect solution. Virtual private networks are very secure and allow you to access a wide area network or intranet infrastructure across the Internet. You can also easily copy files from your network to your local computer for working offline. You can do everything you could do if you were directly connected to the network in the office. This is the ultimate solution for those who can’t live without full access.

Scootek is standing by to help you implement any one of these solutions and help you select the one that is right for you. We can even get you set up with some remote solutions over the phone in under an hour. If you can’t wait another minute to get your business operating in remote mode, you know who to call!

Thankfully, with a few simple adjustments, you can get this problem under control. Most email programs give us some excellent tools to help us control the confusion of the modern inbox, whether you use Microsoft Outlook, Apple Mail or a web-based browser, most of these simple suggestions can be applied.

Creating Folders

You wouldn’t keep all your companies documents in a big cardboard box, would you? Obviously, this is not the best way to find what you need quickly. A file cabinet is a much better solution. But since most inboxes sort by date, you are essentially looking at a big pile of papers. Creating folders is the first step towards getting organized. If you have common emails you only need to see now and then – for example, newsletters – create a folder for them. This will take the cut down on the clutter. If you receive emails you always want to keep, move these to a special folder as well so they won’t get accidently deleted as you erase older emails. But what if your box is already filled with a thousand emails? That brings us to our next step, creating email rules.

Email Rules

Now that you have folders, it’d be great not to have to manually move everything to them as it arrives. Email rules can be setup in a matter of minutes to automatically route incoming mail into the correct folders when it arrives. Rules usually allow you to enter a specific sender, subject line, or other attribute as criteria for moving incoming mail to the correct folder. Most email clients will automatically sort through your existing messages and put them into folders when you apply a new rule. You can also make rules to send spam and junk mail straight to your trash folder by listing out common words that you know only come along in spam email messages.

Search Folders

Since small business owners often use their email as their main resource for tracking progress on a project, additional organization might be needed to group data in a different way. Maybe your new folders and rules work great for some cases, but you find that you also need to sort some data in another way. For example, you have folders for art resources, accounting emails, and customer requests, but you also have a project that uses all three of these. You can create a “virtual” folder that lets you view all the data on your project in a single place, regardless of where the actual messages are stored. Creating a search folder is much like creating an email rule, except the emails appear in their “real” folders as well as the “virtual” ones.

In a small business, we often have to wear many hats. By using these techniques, you can make sure you don’t let an important email go unnoticed. Get back to your customers and vendors as quickly as possible by turning your chaotic inbox into a well-organized emailing machine.
