This is your guide to help you navigate your way to a secure remote working infrastructure. Many of us will have to adapt the way we work, and although you are the expert on which working style allows you to be the most productive, and what techniques are best to keep the children from trashing the house, the purpose of this guide is to get down to the nuts and bolts of laying the foundations needed to ensure you continue to serve your clients with the same first class service they're accustomed to receiving.

This guide will cover everything from setting up secure connections to your network to gaining digital signatures from your clients.

**Please note: As each business is individual in it's setup, we recommend you speak to your IT/Technical contact to make sure you make the best decisions for your business, colleagues and clients.**

To achieve a successful, smooth transition to remote working you need to begin by gaining access to your network. Armed with a secure connection to all your client files, systems and shared resources you can continue to work collaboratively with your colleagues and support your clients with up to date data without delay.

A VPN or Virtual Private Network, allows you to gain a fast, reliable and secure connection to your network including access to your back office systems and your Virtual Cabinet document management system.

What is a Hosted Desktop?

A Hosted Desktop empowers you to have all of your day-to-day computing requirements running within a private cloud. This ensures your applications such as your back office software, and your Virtual Cabinet document management system are continuously accessible, and that you have both optimal performance and safety from security breaches. The idea is that you barely realise that your Hosted Windows Desktop is not running on your local computer, but within a secure hosted environment. It looks and operates the same as your normal Windows desktop.

With reduced mobility at this time finding ways to stay connected with your clients and making sure they have everything they need can be tricky. But by implementing the right systems you can keep business continuity and reduce disruption.

Stay connected with your clients by providing secure document access. Save time, streamline workflows and elevate your customer experience.
