If you’re uncertain about preparation for unplanned events, and your business is likely to suffer as a result of not having flexible working, then you’ll need to future proof quickly. By future proofing now, you could not only save money in the long term, but also benefit from immediate savings.
Some of the world’s largest institutions, including the likes of Google, Microsoft, Twitter, Apple and Amazon have rolled out mandatory work from home policies, attributed to the spread of Covid-19 worldwide.
In Britain, only around 20% of the population work from home regularly, so if the Government introduces flexible working policies across the board, it’s important to consider how this might affect your business and its operation.
Here at Utility Trade Group, we’ve been asking our clients some key questions:
- How prepared are you for unplanned events?
- How can your business continue if an event prohibits employees working in the office?
- Have you considered the impact a fire or flood could have?
- How much could missing a call for an order cost your business?
- Are you looking for a more flexible way to work?
Utility Trade Group offer a fantastic future-proofing offer, in the shape of hosted solutions. It’s a technology service, whereby we can provide hosting severs that are away from the employee’s usual place of work. The system is available to clients usually via a direct network connection that uses the internet, and employees can access it via a VPN connection.
Some examples of the benefits of a hosted solution are:
- Your business can still operate by enabling staff to work from home.
- In the event of fire – by just having internet access, you can log into the portal and you could redirect the calls.
- In the event of a flood – take the handsets home and plug into the broadband and you appear to be in the office.
- ISDN phase out – with ISDN lines being phased out by 2025, you will already be prepared and could be benefiting from inclusive calls and eradicating maintenance charges.
- We can help with short or long term data connectivity.
Utility Trade Group have some fantastic offers available, and our dedicated team of experienced Account Managers can guide you through the process, and help you to understand which solution is the best for your business. Get in touch today.
