Today’s successful businesses understand that they need to fundamentally rethink and change how they operate.

This year has seen disruption for businesses of all sizes and the unexpected move to remote working has been a challenge for everyone. In order to ensure productivity continues, businesses have had to overcome obstacles such as access to data, communication and security. 

For those that haven’t already moved to a modern workplace, data usually resides in a central location, such as a file server. This is great for those in the office but can cause issues when it comes to remote working.

Working from home has become a necessity in today’s modern workplace. However, with such a drastic change in the world of work, many organisations have been left wondering how they can engage their employees whilst remote working.  

4 essentials for remote working

In the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, many of us now find ourselves working from home once more. Companies of all sizes have been forced to adapt and adjust incredibly quickly to the new norm and have done so exceedingly well. If the past year has taught us anything, it’s that remote working is here to stay: more companies are opting to take their operations online with their employees working from home on a permanent basis. Looking forward, if this new way of working is here to stay, the temporary fixes that many businesses implemented in March may now need more consideration.

BaaS cloud services reduce the chances of a business being disrupted if the worst was to happen. Instead of backing up your data on-premise, which requires Capex investment, on-going maintenance and internal IT resources, BaaS connects systems to the cloud, all succinctly managed by an outside provider. What are the benefits of Backup as a Service?
