Enable a Remote Workforce
The trend to remote work and work from home continues to accelerate, especially for companies employing knowledge workers. What was once a niche idea is now mainstream. ZAG Technical Services has offices in four locations and employees in six states. We are distributed and enable remote work ourselves, so we know what works and what doesn’t. In fact, our team comes from multinational companies like Microsoft and Oracle, while others have managed teams on multiple continents. We can recommend solutions leveraging software services alone, or for larger enterprises hardware and virtual desktop solutions. We advise your team about security, remote access, network stability and performance, and of course team collaboration and communication with a security-first approach. Most importantly, we help companies with process planning and implementation through well architected frameworks and thoughtful design.

Process First, technology Second
Productivity
Before considering the technology needed to solve your remote work challenges, take the time to understand how your team works remotely. The challenge we’re all really solving isn’t the work itself, it’s how we maintain employee engagement and productivity.
SECURITY
Security should be top of mind, especially if you’re spinning up a remote team in a short timeframe. Multifactor authentication (MFA) is a quick win and be sure that laptop backups are remote. Implement email security best practices such as safe links, impossible travel, auto-forwarding alerts and flagging external emails.
Software & Tools
Employees need to talk with colleagues in real time, with quality of service expectations as if they’re in the office. Consider application and data access needs, whether from a cloud like Microsoft OneDrive or from behind your corporate firewall. Are VPNs and virtual desktops a requirement? If so, be ready to setup data access and retention policies.
