How to transition to remote work?

Forms and solutions for remote work

Remote work doesn't look the same across companies. Depending on the activity, it can range from basic communication tools to a fully secured private network (VPN) to access files, folders and line-of-business apps. There is no one-size-fits-all remote work solution—only solutions adapted to your needs and ways of working.

At the lightest end: IP telephony (3CX, Aircall), video conferencing tools (Zoom, Skype), and internal messaging (Teams, Slack). These enable communication and file sharing but don't provide remote access. A step up: remote desktop tools to open a window into your office PC from home.

More advanced: a Virtual Private Network (VPN) that lets authorized employees connect securely to the corporate network and access servers, files and software. This is faster, more secure, and more pleasant than remote desktop and can be tailored to your needs. It's often the most stable, sustainable solution, but it requires some hardware plus well-configured software. Finally, a cloud option can offload part of the network and keep data available outside on-prem servers.
