Would your business benefit from remote access?

The increased availability of high-speed internet access allows businesses to offer remote working to their employees. This means that staff can connect to their employer’s network from any computer that has internet access, so they can work when they’re away from their desks, in a meeting, travelling or from home.

Remote access can result in a number of benefits, including:

• staff can work from anywhere where there is an internet connection and it is easy to for them to access their email and documents

• there’s no need to carry a laptop at all times or to synchronise files between a laptop and desktop PC

• being able to respond more quickly means improved customer service

• the flexibility of being able to work from home enables staff to enjoy a more harmonious work/life balance

• jobs that offer flexible working practices tend to be considered more desirable by prospective employees - and a happier employee is likely to be more productive

In order to reap these benefits, employers need to ensure that the necessary technology is in place. Tweet us @NovaITSolutions, email us at info@nova-itsolutions.com or call us free on 0800 019 4525 to see how we can help your business work remotely.

Are you getting the best deal from your mobile provider?

With so many different options available, it can be hard to tell which mobile provider offers the best deals for business users. Here are our top tips for making sure you have the best tariff:

• Analyse your usage, taking into account the minutes, texts and data that are included in your current tariff – is it working for you?
• Look at whether you’re getting value for money; a different tariff could be more suitable for your needs, and you could, for example, benefit from changing from a personal to business package.
• Consider insurance – if you have multiple handsets, this could benefit your company and give you and your staff peace of mind.
• Speak to an expert - through our partnership with Connect It, Nova IT Solutions can deal direct with providers on your behalf and manage all your mobile needs, whether you decide to stay with your current provider or switch to a new one.
