It’s August. You’re on vacation. You need to finish up some details to close a last minute deal. You need to access that critical file because you’re the only that can handle. Or maybe you’re the person responsible for payroll and it just happens to fall on a day in the middle of your vacation. You’re out of luck, right? Not so fast! There are many different ways to remotely, and securely, access business resources outside the office.

The first rule of thumb is to ask your technology services provider what methods are available to you. They should be able to help you implement something that fits your needs, budget, and security concerns, if they haven’t already.

The next rule of thumb is that the ways to get to what you need are as varied as the types of resources you want to get to. It all depends on what you need to get to: files like documents or spreadsheets, or applications like QuickBooks. And each business is going to have different requirements, regulations, budgets, et cetera, that will determine what method or methods can be used. This brings the first rule of thumb back in to play: your technology services provider will know what methods fit your situation best.
