Switching to remote working is hard, here is some help to keep you performing well
You are becoming a virtual team member and you know it!
The recent events have pushed us all to move our job and business activities to our home and even if some of you out there might have already been using up-to-date hardware and software even from your home, but not all businesses are prepared to shift that fast.
This the reason why some companies still require their team to be at the office daily in order to sustain their business.
The IT professionals might understand and are living their best days, but we need to understand that transferring the working environment in the homes of the employees isn’t as easy as it looks.
We must also mention the fact that this transfer is happening in a very short period and tech support is essential. I might add, it is so essential that the future of the business depends on it.
When moving our team’s activities to their homes, I’ve understood that this involves many questions among which also productivity and understanding the environment.
As I’ve mentioned earlier, tech support is the most needed, in the scope of understanding your environment, your systems, the interconnection of the systems which are a must for day to day work. You also need to establish a well-defined connection with your employees to ensure business continuity without problems.
Moving your business’s activities to more than one location brings some data security and non-performance threats. This is all happening while you are ensuring business sustainability. Besides setting up extra cybersecurity settings and software, you might be dealing with VPN settings which might sometimes create problems for your employee to connect due to wrong system configuration.
I know that most of the companies have an IT department, but in some cases, you as a business owner have to deal with setting this up at the most rapid time possible.
Not to mention, that the IT departments are dimensioned to handle the office work and not having hundreds or thousands of employees switching to work from home in 24 hours.
So, while setting up things for our small team of 5 and an additional setup done by our team in India, I was thinking that if I am having a hard time with this, imagine how large companies are seeing now issues that they haven’t predicted.
Then it came to me that this is why tech support and service desk service companies exist and we have a great partner from which we can get advice from.
The tech support and service desk service companies are providing ad-hoc advice and services for enabling companies to continue the business and minimize the effects of the preventive measures due to COVID-19.
The support enables solving trivial and complex problems that employees are facing with software and systems in use and take the load of the companies’ IT departments
As you can see, I’ve only used the diseases’ name once J
I think that during this crisis we must help each other even if we are sometimes competitors in business and while the IT support now is an imperative part of your daily routine, we can adapt by using some of the services which were created just for that.
Hope this advice helps and you can find the right partner to help you with these tasks. Having trusted contacts, I can recommend trying the services offered by IT Labs.
