A "Social" Enemy

Concern about the spread of the COVID-19 has triggered the largest “work-from-home” mobilization in history. Due to the immediacy of the concerns, we're working tirelessly to support our customers wherever they work.

According to the experts, working from home is the safest option, but it doesn't come without challenges for both the business and employees. We've compiled a list of tools and resources here in hopes of helping our clients make the most of their new remote workplace, while ensuring the technology is easy to use and secure.

  • Assess privacy & data concerns when introducing external technologies that live outside of your company’s security protocol
  • Utilize Cloud PBX or VOIP phone protocols to access calling features from anywhere
  • Call Forwarding from traditional phone numbers to remote phone numbers
  • Create a cloud-based system for shared files & folders
