Having data stored centrally means that it can be easier to share information and work together more efficiently. Rather than users individually modifying and saving information on their own computer, there will be one central version of files that they can access, meaning that there is less chance of multiple versions of a file, and also no need to copy or email data from one machine to another. This makes collaboration between people faster and a lot easier. You can instantly share files, calendars and other vital information between users, for example to cover for an employee when they are on holiday, or have a shared resource that multiple people can all access.

Have the ability to manage user accounts & restrict access to confidential data, by assigning usernames and passwords with different access levels for different users. You can also manage security features, such as centralised management of antivirus, or advanced firewall rules to restrict inbound & outbound network traffic, making your private data and network more secure.

Work more efficiently and save money by sharing printers, emails, calendars, and other resources between multiple PCs.

Access your emails and data from tablets & phones as well as on computers and laptops.

With one copy in a central location, it makes it much easier to backup important information.

Work securely from virtually anywhere, anytime – on the road, at home, or in the office, whether it is through secure access to an in-house server, or a hosted Cloud service.

For remote offices & staff who are constantly on the move, being able to access data and email ensures you can stay on top of your workload and respond to customer enquiries immediately, not missing out on any new business opportunities.

Businesses are embracing remote workers because the absence of a traditional office environment and hours can increase efficiency and make employees more productive than ever. Remote working brings advantages for both the employer and employee including retention of motivated staff, increased flexibility and autonomy, and reduced costs for the organisation through consolidating and reducing office space. Many companies have branches or employees spread out across the country or around the world even, and they all need fast, secure, and reliable communications wherever their offices are.

In the past, this has meant the use of leased lines to maintain a wide area network (WAN). Leased lines provided a company with a way to expand its private network beyond its immediate area. A WAN had advantages over a public network like the internet when it came to reliability, performance and security. But maintaining a WAN, particularly when using leased lines, is expensive and often rises in cost as the distance between the offices increases.

However, it is now possible to use the internet to connect remote sites and users together using a secure connection, using either a VPN, or remote web access. They work by using the shared public infrastructure, while maintaining privacy through security procedures and tunneling protocols. In effect, the protocols, by encrypting data at the sending end and decrypting it at the receiving end, send the data through a “tunnel” that cannot be “entered” by data that is not properly encrypted. An additional level of security involves encrypting not only the data, but also the originating and receiving network addresses.
