The public cloud consists of cloud-hosted infrastructure provided by major national providers such as Microsoft, Amazon, and Google and is recommended because of its scalability, cost-effectiveness, and level of user control. Private cloud hosting is also an option, which is utilizing space in individual datacenters. Either way, cloud-hosted infrastructure means as long as you have an internet connection, your team can access server resources from anywhere. &nbsp;<\/li><li><strong><em>Option #2 &#8211; Going serverless:<\/em> <\/strong>For this option, organizations should ask: <em>what does my locally hosted server do, and how can I move those services or application requirements to the cloud? <\/em>If your organization plans to move away from a locally hosted server environment, you would need to outsource any applications, file storage, or other services currently provided by your local server to cloud-based versions. For instance, QuickBooks may currently be hosted on your local server, but you could migrate to QuickBooks Online instead. Most local servers are also repositories for file storage, which can be moved to applications like Microsoft OneDrive, ShareFile, Google Drive, or Dropbox for Business. OneDrive has been particularly attractive due to Microsoft\u2019s continual improvements, and it may come included for those with Microsoft licensing. Another common function of a server is providing security controls and authentication for the connected computers. These, too, can be moved to the cloud using options like Microsoft Azure Active Directory (AD) or through mobile-device-management (MDM) platforms, which can perform some of those same security functions.<\/li><li><em><strong>Option #3 &#8211; Retain a local server with secure remote access: <\/strong><\/em>Although cloud-hosted and serverless environments may seem appealing, there are situations that make keeping your current server a viable option, such as applications that require local hosting. If this is the case, the key is to ensure a secure remote connection to your server. This can be done using a Virtual Private Network (VPN), which is a secured \u201ctunnel\u201d which allows users to access the data held in a server from their work device. Alternatively, Remote Desktop Services allow users to not only access the data from the server but remotely access and control their computer at the office. While the latter has challenges such as bandwidth limitations, it may be necessary and can be utilized effectively through solutions like LogMeIn or ConnectWise Screen Connect. Both a VPN and Remote Desktop Service should utilize multi-factor authentication in order to connect securely.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"endpoints\">2. <strong>Mobilizing Your Endpoints<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The key to mobilizing any organization\u2019s workforce is to ensure\neveryone has mobile hardware\u2013in other words, laptops! We strongly recommend\npurchasing \u201cbusiness-class\u201d laptops with solid chassis, the appropriate ports,\nand no adware or bloatware. All these elements are present in the business-class\nline of laptops, which are expressed as their own separate section on Dell, Lenovo,\nand HP websites. These laptops typically have 3-year warrantees, which is considered\nthe industry standard. Computers are one of an organization\u2019s most important\ntools and should be protected. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In our current situation, demand for positive remote workforce solutions is high and the supply chains have been weakened by this pandemic. As a short-term solution, bringing home a desktop or purchasing a non-business class machine from a retail store might be the only immediate solution. \u00a0While taking a desktop home from the office is a quick solution for working at home, desktops are not made to be mobile, often lacking an internal wireless card which allows Wi-Fi connectivity. External wireless cards are a solution to this, but if none are available, you may need to have an ethernet cable long enough to connect your desktop to your router.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, when purchasing a laptop from a retail store, it is <em>vital<\/em>\nthat you work with your IT staff or vendor to ensure the machines have the\nappropriate specifications to ensure the machine will perform the functions\nneeded. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most importantly, home laptops should not be utilized to access business networks, applications, or data whenever possible. While a secure VPN can keep a connection to the office secure from outside attacks, that does not secure your organization\u2019s data from a hacker who has gained access to a machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"devices\">3. <strong>Peripheral Devices for Home Offices<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Since organizations have encouraged their teams to work from home, it is essential to design an appropriate workspace. Docking stations are a tool which act as a centralized hub for various ports that connect your devices like multiple monitors, wireless keyboard and mouse, wireless headphones, printers, and computer charging. They are relatively inexpensive, small, and essential for any sort of long-term remote office setup. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Printers and scanners are other devices that are commonly associated with a complete office setup, but we strongly recommend avoiding these devices, if possible. Organizations have slowly been moving towards paperless operations and this is an opportune moment to go completely paperless. If an employee\u2019s job role requires the use of printing, looking for a cheap solution will cost you in the long run. Upkeep and support for a low-quality printer\/copier\/scanner will result in a much higher overall expense, which is not worth the money nor frustration. &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tools\">4. <strong>Choosing the Right Communications Tools<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Communication tools have long been important for businesses,\nbut never have they been relied upon this heavily. For example, in December\n2019, Zoom\u2019s number of daily participants was 10 million and by March 2020, <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.zoom.us\/wordpress\/2020\/04\/01\/a-message-to-our-users\/\">that\nnumber increased to 200 million<\/a>! Consider these remote communication\nsolutions as well as some options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Phones:<\/em> <\/strong>This communication tool has evolved over the years from old cords to on-premise digital phones to a Voice-over-IP (VoIP) approach, which is essentially phone lines over the internet. In more recent years, \u201c<em>Unified Communications\u201d platforms<\/em> have grown in prominence where all communication modes such as instant chat, voice calling, and video calling are included in one solution. Both VoIP and Unified Communications tools are software applications that can be downloaded on a computer and utilize headsets rather than physical phones to communicate. A headset benefits the user through hands-free listening to allow easy notetaking. Unified Communications platforms, like Microsoft Teams, bring many forms of communication into one solution likely decreasing costs at the same time. Ultimately, this will go a long way towards saving an organization both the cost side of maintaining separate solutions, but also will simplify the line items you are being charged for technology. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Video Conferencing:<\/em> <\/strong>There are many communication tools in the market that serve the purpose of video communication (Google Hangouts, Cisco WebEx, Join.me, Adobe Connect, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Microsoft Teams has many benefits, such as its ease of integration if your organization is already in the Microsoft ecosphere along with its positioning as a Unified Communications tool. Teams can provide collaboration capabilities like phone calls, instant messaging, screen sharing, and video conferencing, and has native integration with Outlook. Other integrations include SurveyMonkey, Salesforce, and MailChimp. Teams also has a 250-person maximum for audio and video calls, as well as a 10,000-person maximum for a live broadcast. <\/li><li>Zoom is another scalable, user-friendly videoconferencing platform whose primary benefit is that it is not tied to a specific ecosphere and can be utilized by anyone who wants to create an account. It has been an industry leader and has some of the best performance we\u2019ve seen for video conferencing applications. It is also natively built for webinars, which make it an easy go-to for immediately setting up a tool. Zoom\u2019s main benefit can also be a con, however, as it is not integrated natively with Microsoft or Google and may not function as smoothly as their native applications. Unfortunately, Zoom does not have the ability to replace your business phone system, so it cannot be considered a Unified Communications platform like Teams. Also, recent security issues have brought Zoom under scrutiny and they continue to communicate improvements to identified challenges. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bonus tool: <\/strong>For voice email and quick walkie-talkie style messages, there is a tool called Voxer. With both a mobile and desktop application, Voxer allows the sending of voice messages either to a single person or group. A user can record messages up to 15 minutes which can be listened to in real-time or played back at up to 4x the speed. Tools like this are extremely useful when a voice conversation is needed, but schedules don\u2019t align. It\u2019s free to download and can be found on your phone\u2019s app store. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Much of this information provokes the need to make decisions\nabout shifting infrastructure, which can seem like a daunting task. Mainstay\nTechnologies is ready to help you navigate through these waters now more than\never, as we all determine the next steps towards structuring our organizations\nfor sustainability, security, and success. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Because of the coronavirus pandemic, organizations of all sizes have had to rapidly change the way they use technology to conduct business.
