Step 2: Get ready to use Video Conferencing intensively
While video conferencing cannot replace face-to-face meetings, it is a great alternative. This not only allows employees to stay connected, but it also makes it easier for you to do business with clients. It’s a great time to sign up to a reliable conferencing platform.

Step 3: Make sure Cloud Application Connections Are in Place
If you are already using cloud applications, working offsite shouldn’t pose a problem for your company. If you don’t use cloud applications, it’s high time to start. To ensure that your cloud applications can be accessed remotely, make sure you have updated the settings. Ensure that your team has the appropriate devices to manage the performance and memory requirements of all cloud applications in your business.
Step 4: Create a remote communications plan
You don’t want employees working in silos during these difficult times. Now is the time to get together and create a comprehensive remote communication plan. Use tools such as Slack or Microsoft Teams for team communications, “away”, messages, project-specific chat channels, and team collaboration tools to make sure everyone is on the same page.

Remote IT support can be a great way to save time and avoid the headache of managing IT infrastructure. It also ensures that no government or healthcare guidelines are broken. A technician can remotely access your device to resolve problems and keep an eye on it using encryption and authentication.
