axon IT is warning local businesses to prepare for another bad winter by setting up for remote working to enable employees to work effectively from home in the event of another big freeze.
Technical Director at axon, Graham Fern, said: “Last year the bad winter took us all by surprise, meaning millions of pounds worth of business was lost across the country due to staff being snowed in and unable to get into the office.
“This year, businesses have time to prepare and should learn from the lessons of last winter by getting set up for remote working now, before the weather takes a turn for the worse.”
Using cloud-based computing, businesses can put a remote workforce in place which enables employees to securely access and share company data, emails, calendars and contacts from anywhere with an internet connection.
Microsoft technology also allows real-time communication between users via instant messaging, audio and video calling, live web conferencing and online meetings, while hosted telephony means business owners can receive calls made to their company telephone number, from anywhere they can connect to the web.
Fern concluded: “axon IT strongly urges local businesses to act now to safeguard against potential loss of earnings through the winter months. Remote working is simple to set up, cost-effective and offers increased flexibility and productivity while ensuring seamless business continuity.”
