WFH Roadblocks

The Services You Never Knew You Needed

You’re probably noticing that your home office is lacking a few tools that would make your job a whole lot easier. Although the beginning of this pandemic seemed more short-term, we’re now experiencing more long-term and full-time WFH initiatives. So, what does this mean for your home office? There are additional or unfamiliar technology tools that your business requires now that you’re working remotely—many are ones you never knew you needed or existed.

Learn the questions you should be asking about your office technology.

It's Simple: You Ask, We Answer.

IT Support & Services

When all of your employees were working under one roof, it was relatively easy to manage the security and infrastructure of their technology devices. But now that many are WFH, it’s up to employees to make sure they’re operating safely and securely. Unfortunately, cybercriminals take advantage of vulnerable times like this. Now more than ever is when we fall short of practicing safe internet protocols—making your business data and files extremely susceptible to online attacks.

You’ve got enough on your plate. Don’t let a cyberattack be another thing you have to worry about.

Collaboration Tools have been waiting for you—and there's a whole lot of them! Although the shift from in-person meetings to virtual demo's can seem daunting, it's actually pretty easy. The hard part? Knowing which tools, tips, and solutions best suit the demands of your customers and prospects.

How can I make appointments and meet my customers during stay-at-home orders?
Can I video conference with prospects or customers from home?
How do I fix the audio issues I'm having with my mic and speakers on my laptop?
How can I share my screen, presentations, or perform demonstrations online?
How do I collaborate with my team members from home?
Can I take and use my Microsoft Office applications at home?
Can I record my virtual meetings?
Can I share recorded meetings with other absent staff members?

Security and Virus Protection is sometimes easy to overlook or forget about. But, who can you count on when disaster strikes? Your IT guy may not be able to provide you the support and protection your devices and employees need.

Are my conversations private?
Can I have a secure connection to my office?
Can my team get easily hacked now that they are working at home?
What about virus protection?
Are we protected when my employees begin using the technology we provided for work for home browsing, buying, etc.?

The safety and security of your technology is so critical, especially when working from home. Learn more:

Copiers, Printers, & Scanners

Your small inkjet copier that was collecting dust in your guest room is not one designed for your fully-functioning home office. You need the same capabilities at home as you did in the office. This is where an All In One or Multifunction Printer (MFP) comes in handy. Typical MFPs today can copy, scan, print, fax, and email documents. Additional add-on software can allow them to do even more to manage the document workflow and secure documents so that your business can increase efficiency, control access, or meet industry compliance guidelines.

We've got what you need: An All In One device for all remote settings.

Where do I get a cheap color copier/printer/scanner (all-in-one device)?
Are the retail all-in-one printers worth it?
What are the supply costs?
Where do I get service?

Can I print lengthy documents from home to my office to pick up later?
