As  our world  continues to settle into a new, more socially-distant normal,  we at Pioneer Technology  want to  ensure we continue to be a resource  to our  existing and new clients in this time of work disruption. One point of concern for many is the strength of their IT infrastructure to support remote work.

In our efforts to be proactive, we are reaching out to you today with helpful information on how you can ensure the security & stability of your IT systems are not lost in the chaos. The good news? You don’t have to reinvent the wheel to keep your operations running smoothly with technology.  

Here are three  things you can set up now:  

1. Identify Your Collaborative Software: Microsoft Teams is the standard bearer for working together when your team is apart and is already available to you if you use Office 365. It includes chat, video meetings, scheduling, sharing files, and more using most major platforms: Mobile, iOS, Android, etc. Adapting your business practices around it will ensure your team is ready to work from home on a moment’s notice.  

2. Invest in Security: This is vital for remote work. Do not skip this important step. Whether using a VPN, Remote Desktop, or some other method, it’s important to maintain a focus on security when implementing work-from-home strategies. Criminals are even more likely to attempt cyber crime during this period of ramped-up remote connectivity, especially if users have networks not as secure as their work ones.

3. Use the Cloud:  Shifting reliance away from specific hardware is key in setting up an effective remote team. If you are still reliant on physical servers and hard drives for all your work, now is the time to consider an update, not just to technology, but your view of what “work” really is.

If your organization is interested in pursuing a technology shift to ensure the security and stability of your wireless and other infrastructure systems, and you have questions, we are here to help! We have the knowledge and ability to guide you through a diagnostic process to identify and mitigate these issues. In fact, we have set up a simple, accessible assessment call, we named the Disruption Assessment to make it easy for you to jump on the phone with us or send us a quick form so that we can connect with you and discuss the remote-work and other IT pain-points you are currently experiencing. If we can help, we will! And if we do not offer a specific service you need, perhaps we can at least try to point you in the right direction.

Contact us today to set up your Disruption Assessment call! And remember, we are all in this together.
