Home Alone Again... Maybe
While most of us in Israel are taking lightly the latest COVID wave, the daily stats seem to point to a more serious situation. For offices, this may mean that our staff will again need to work from home.
Therefore, don't yet pack up the home office setup for a rainy day. If you didn't yet provide a proper setup for your staff to work from home, perhaps now is the time to make a small investment with a major payoff in efficiency.
Efrat Networks can help provide your home staff with the technology and security needed for a "cloned" work environment.
Let's hope that this wave will subside quickly, but in case it doesn't, its best to prepare for working from home when the pressure is off.

The Challenge
The veil of uncertainty surrounding all of us, creates an unending array of new business challenges. Most businesses that are still operating need to migrate from an office work environment to having all of employees work from home. Here are some of the most 'burning' issues for businesses needing to work from home:

- Accessibility - Our employees can't access the company server

- Security issues - I'm worried that my company files and security will be compromised somehow with my employees working from home

- Connectivity issues because everyone is working from a different location - e.g., my VPN is disconnecting, poor connectivity at home, we can't get reliable video sessions set up with other people, or some of my employees don't even have internet lines to work from home

- WiFI not reliable - My employee doesn't have reliable WiFi at home and he's connecting to an unsecured WiFi source from one of his neighbors

- Hardware Problems- I don't have a computer to work on from home, or my screen is not big enough, or its really noisy when I speak on the phone

- Duplicating my work environment - my employees' computers don't look the same at home as they do in the office

- Broken interaction - communication and information exchange with my colleagues and employees is not efficient
