How Does Your Team Work Remotely?

HOW DOES YOUR TEAM WORK REMOTELY?

2. • According to the Zug, a Switzerland-based serviced office
provider IWG, as of 2018, 70% of professionals globally work
remotely one day a week, while 53% work remotely for at least
half the week.
• With the upward trend of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) in the
workplace, employees have acclimated to a “work-on-the go”
mentality. This combined with incorporating an
effective Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution and
policy, can increase productivity and job satisfaction for
employees, since they can respond to work matters any time of
day or night, while working on their own device.

3. HOW DOES YOUR TEAM WORK ON BUSINESS TRIPS?
• There are a number of ways that you can access your
company’s network, with a Virtual Private Network
(VPN) being one of the more secure options. With that
said, there is also nothing more frustrating than
connecting to a VPN for work purposes and getting
“kicked” off a few minutes later.

4. HOW DOES YOUR TEAM WORK ON BUSINESS
TRIPS?
• What if you are traveling and staying in a hotel? Hotels
are notorious for blocking VPN access, which can hinder
your connectivity to the network, and could lead to your
finding workarounds that may compromise security.

5. MANAGED SECURITY
• In today’s world, businesses must take managed
security into account when it comes to any and all IT
related matters. You are opening the doors to a potential
hacker when you choose convenience over security.

6. CLOUD-BASED SERVICES
• That’s where cloud-based services like Office 365 come
in. With the ability to collaborate in real time combined
with easy access to company documents and emails, this
platform provides the security and access to work
effectively outside of the office.

7. OFFICE 365 SUITE
• The Office 365 suite houses all of your emails, documents
and productivity tools and makes them available from
virtually anywhere. All you need is an internet connection
and you can access anything you need from wherever you
might be from your laptop, desktop or mobile phone
application.

8. COLLABORATION
• With so many employees working on the go, this allows you and
your team members to collaborate and stay connected. You can
also sync documents from any device so you are always working on
the most current version. Along with this, Office 365 saves a local
copy of your files to your computer, so you have to access to
important documents when you’re offline too. Once you reconnect
to the internet your changes get uploaded to the cloud and all new
changes are downloaded to the computer.

9. FEATURES – ONEDRIVE, SHAREPOINT, AND TEAMS
• OneDrive is another great feature that comes along with
Office 365 and be considered your individual
workspace. Each OneDrive account comes with at least 1
TB of space and it can house personal or work-related
information that you don’t want to share with others.

10. FEATURES - ONEDRIVE, SHAREPOINT, AND TEAMS
• Basically, if you are saving files specific to you or drafting
files, project plans, etc., before you move them
to SharePoint for input or make them available on
Microsoft Teams, OneDrive is your place. Utilizing the
Office 365 suite eliminates the stress of installing office
products on every computer you use and alleviates the
need for a VPN to access.

11. CO-AUTHORING
• Co-authoring also makes working remotely easier,
particularly when you’re working on a project with
multiple team members. Even if your team members are
scattered in multiple locations, they will all have access to
the most updated version of the file they are collaborating
on.

12. CO-AUTHORING
• They can also lock the document before editing so they’re
not distracted by other team members editing in real time.
This increases productivity because it incorporates edits
immediately and eliminates time spent hunting for the
right version of the file you need. It’s all right there in the
cloud.

13. • At the end of the day, your employees need to be able to
work remotely and safely. Is your remote access plan
allowing your employees to work as efficiently as they
should be? Well, there is an easy solution for that.
