FROM THE PRESIDENT

Mobile Computing Options Take Center Stage
 
The news is full of stories about businesses encouraging their employees to work from home when possible to provide some relief from high gas prices.  CRU staff have enjoyed the benefits of mobile/remote computing for years.  We provide complete services to our clients including connectivity and secure access to company networks.  The technology is here now that will allow an information worker to work remotely and have the appearance of being in the office.  A VPN (Virtual Private Network) makes remote access secure.
 
Once we deploy a stable, reliable Internet connection, the platform is set.  Remote access can be available for one user or dozens.  There are different solutions depending on the size of your organization, but all share commonalities. 
 
The articles below also offer tips and suggestions if you're considering mobile computing.
 

We appreciate your business and we're here to help.  Contact us anytime to let us know how we can better meet your IT needs.

It wasn't too long ago that "logging in from home" was less of a phrase and more of a perk for corporate upper-management types. Nowadays, with the proliferation of secure virtual private networks (VPNs), it's actually more like a given for the average worker.
