How Cloud Services Help Avoid ‘Working From Home’ Business Challenges
At Simple Biz, our cloud based remote workforce solutions are created based on the most pressing challenges employers face when making the switch to work from home business solutions. We align our thinking with yours so we can innovate and deliver IT solutions you’ll love. Whatever you’re concerned about regarding your transition to working from home for your business, we’re your trusted IT partners who can help. The following are a few of the most common challenges businesses owners, like you, face when managing a remote workforce with employees working from home:
Ensuring Sufficient Speed
Employees working from home using on-site servers often experience slow speeds, crashes, among other problems that understandably cause a lot of frustration. These are usually related to poor internet speeds in your office - creating a bottleneck that hinders productivity and performance. Upgrading your internet can be costly and even if done can still be a single point of failure. One internet outage and your whole team working from home can't work.
At Simple Biz, our cloud based remote servers have multiple redundant internet links that operate at speeds up to 1 Gigabytes per second. This is 20 x faster than most office internet connections with 99.99% up-time.
Insufficient Performance
Connecting to on-site servers whilst working from home generally translates into a painstaking and unstable experience. IT's not uncommon to experience crashes and server timeouts which results in corrupted data. The fact of the matter is, on-site servers simply aren’t able to handle many of your employees connecting at once.
At Simple Biz, our cloud based remote servers are enterprise grade, meaning it can provide high performance on some of the fastest hardware that money can buy - with most businesses only using around 10% of that capacity at maximum. Tech giants such as Facebook and Google use the same type of cloud server technology we use to scale their companies without outages, so you know you’re in good hands.
Back Ups
When the unexpected happens, you’ll want confidence that your business is protected by a reliable backup system that can have you recovered in minimal time. At Simple Biz, our cloud based work from home solutions carry out back ups daily, conducting everyday checks to ensure your business data is always on hand when needed.
Security Concerns
Security is always at the forefront of business concerns, especially in work from home arrangements. At Simple Biz, our cloud based remote servers allow you to restrict varying levels of access to all of your employees working from home. We guide you through how you can easily block off or change access settings for certain remote employees should you ever encounter a situation that requires it.
Version Problems
Running several applications on different versions are inevitable causes for error. With Simple Biz’s remote servers, we put in controls that standardise all applications to the same versions.
Having Adequate Storage
Physical on-site servers require you to buy more storage every time you reach your maximum capacity. On the other hand, having adequate storage and memory are never a problem with cloud servers. As your business grows, so will your cloud server capacity.
Running Custom Applications
Compared to on-site servers, our cloud based desktop management services offer faster speeds of processing and efficiency. This means you and your remote employees will be able to run and share custom applications without experiencing delay or issues. No more waiting for that slow database to display a report!
Maintaining and Purchasing Hardware
If there is ever a situation where your business’ on-site server, hardware, and other computers were damaged or needed replacing, this would halt productivity for all your employees working from home. By switching to cloud remote desktop solutions, you’ll be provided with the virtual server, while we take care of all the maintenance.
