Snow, Snow and More Snow !

Our local area has had a lot of snow this week and people are struggling to get to work, after a particularly heavy snowfall yesterday we decided it was too risky to travel so stayed at home.

We have remote email access, VPN access to the office and a VoIP phone so it was business as usual and our customers did not notice any difference as we were able to provide support as normal. It shows the power of modern technology that we could run the business as a virtual office.

The main problem we have with weather like this is the Couriers who are struggling to collect and deliver equipment but technology cannot do much if the roads are not gritted !!!

Let it Snow !!!

Here in Hertfordshire today we have had around 8 inches of snow with more to come later today and tomorrow. Lots of people have decided to stay at home and it got me thinking that this weather shows the power of Voice over IP. Today I can stay at home work remotely from the office using our VPN and using a VoIP telephone I have my office extension at home with access to voicemail etc. So really no difference to normal except I am at home in the warm looking out at the snow

So now I am wondering why do I go into the office at all ?!?
