Winter Storms, Working From Home? Mobility = Productivity

Winter Storms, Working From Home? Mobility = Productivity

Once again, a nor’easter may bring blizzard conditions to the East Coast of the United States. As the blizzard warnings pile up for much of the coast, it seems like Winter Storm Stella will maroon many of us to the insides of our homes through Tuesday night. As employees cozy up to their laptops and start telecommuting, it is helpful for organizations to know that their business can maintain employee workflows even when away from the office.  

How? Mobility and Cloud solutions. For those offices with intensive paper and process workflows, enabling cloud-messaging services, like Retarus, on mobile phones eliminates the downtime associated with the lack of employees at the office. Faxes, for example, will not sit on printers waiting to be picked up but rather routed to e-mail inboxes or inside workflows ready to be acted upon by employees regardless of location. Documents that need to be sent by fax can be easily scanned, or digitized via a camera phone, and sent via e-mail in minutes. Those without the foresight to bring their laptops can even send, receive and maintain workflows, by just using the mail app on their phones. Even in the worst weather, employee productivity can be easily updated by simply providing the right tools to people that need them, regardless of location and time. Even for employees, who are under their covers, and not in the Office. 

Retarus’ high-performance infrastructure avoids downtime, with data center redundancy, and advanced preparation. With the biggest forecasted snowstorm of the winter, Retarus will be assisting our customers in delivering business and time-critical information from suppliers and customers regardless of where they happen to be. For those on the East Coast, stay warm! In addition, for those companies looking to update their employees during the storm, consider Retarus’ SMS Services.
