Natural disasters and PositivePRO

Posted by Barry Chapman
An off topic post for me, but as a victim of the European airspace shutdown thanks to the Icelandic volcano whose name I cannot even pronounce, we felt that it was imperative that I discuss my experience with our readers.
 
By now, I am sure that you have heard of the volcano that erupted in Iceland. It sent a huge plume of ash and dust into the atmosphere where it happily floated over to Europe where I was attending a wedding with my family. Now, I am not here to give you a science lesson, but long story short - European airspace was closed and I was stranded.
 
Flights CancelledEvery flight to and from Europe was cancelled, and I had no idea when I would be able to get home, not only to my pets, but also to my...

The Importance of Remote Access From Non-Company owned PCs

Posted by Glenn Moore
As I watched reports of the east coast getting hammered by the blizzard, I wondered how many employees wouldn't make it to work.  Events like this remind me how beneficial our PositivePRO Cloud-based remote access really is. 
 
It's widely accepted that remote access is still one of the best technologies to improve worker productivity.  Something to keep in mind when deploying remote access is that more and more individuals want to access company information from their own PC or laptop.   This is especially true of younger workers.  An increasing number of IT staffs recognize that supporting remote access from non-company issued devices is a requirement.  However,...

IT Remote Access: The Times are a-Changing

Posted by Anthony Maughan
What does “IT remote access” mean to you? 
IT remote access has evolved immensely throughout the years. 
 
15 years ago: IT remote access was for the occasional work from home sales guy, or executives that needed to dial into a corporate bank of modems.  This required patience as documents, presentations and e-mails slowly loaded.
 
Today: IT remote access has exponentially grown as the flow of timely information has become a critical business advantage.  Employees, vendors, customers, consultants and others all require access to company information in many places and situations.
 
The Future: Computing will require information anywhere, anytime, any way.
