In the past it was commonplace to copy documents and files onto your laptop or print them off to work on them from home or away from the office, occasionally to find that the document you’d copied was no longer up to date. Remote working can now allow you to view and even edit documents on your server or on the cloud in real time, and some solutions can even enable editing of the same document with others simultaneously.

Email systems we recommend will allow synchronous mailboxes across all relevant devices – make a change to your email from your phone and that change will be reflected across all configured devices, as well as synchronising contacts, calendars and tasks (including shared calendars and global address lists). These are also accessible through web portals so can be accessed from anywhere, on any device with internet access making it much easier to minimise hardware budget impact and requirement for a lot of machines to be available in the office.
