The 21st Century is the century of
virtualization. Many companies are leaving their physical spaces behind and
becoming virtual, while others are finding something in between, adopting
technology which allows managers and employees to connect remotely to their
offices and work from any part of the world.
But still many others frown upon remote access and look at
it suspiciously especially because they fear, and not without reason, that by
opening connections to their office computers they might be creating a channel
that could be explored by hackers to access sensitive data.
While this might be a real issue that concerns IT managers,
the truth is that many remote access solutions today have incorporated safety
measures in their products in order to assure its users that their connections,
their computers and their data is safe.
By using SSL encryption together with proprietary encryption
and by keeping your connections locked behind a firewall, remote access
solutions, like RHUB 6-in-1 web
conferencing and remote support appliance, will keep your computers and
connection safe from harm.
Now that the main worry has been addressed, let’s take a
look at the benefits of remote access.
As it has been said before, the main benefit of using remote
access is that it allows you to access you workstation from anywhere in the
world where you have an internet connection. This means that you can be home
and connect to your office just to do some work, and even at vacation and
connect yourself from the beach if there is wireless connection available. But
most of all it means that if something urgent comes up that only you can solve,
you don’t have to be physically there to address the problem.
Another great benefit from remote access is that it allows
you to work remotely with other people on the same virtual environment. Imagine
several people working in different offices in different locations, remote
access software is a great way to help them work together on a common
problem.
It is also great as a teaching tool. By providing other
people remote access to a computer, you can teach them, talk to them and guide
them through the learning process. Once again, you can do this from the comfort
of your home if you wish to or from another office if needed be.
Finally, it is the best tool there is for customer service.
By allowing you to access a customer’s computer who is experiencing problems,
you can quickly solve it without any additional problems.
Remote access greatly benefits companies by providing a
greater flexibility to managers and employees alike. The technological
advancements that took place in these last few years have made these solutions
much more safe and efficient. Companies implementing remote access solutions
will take a big step into the future.
