While more and more organizations are now providing their employees with the ability to work from home using remote access technologies, there are still many businesses who are hesitant to provide employees with remote access.  This article will examine some of the common reasons why companies don’ t provide employees with PC remote access and how I’m InTouch overcomes them.

Perceived High Costs
For many businesses, especially small to medium-sized ones, there are concerns that providing employees with remote access is going to be very costly. This is not without warrant as many other remote access solutions, can be quite costly.  Especially something like a VPN where you have to start purchasing additional hardware and maybe even hiring somebody to set it up for you as well.

With I’m InTouch, everything is covered for one low monthly or annual fee of about $10 a month or $100 a year per PC. All your support is included as well as product updates. Anybody can set the solution up in minutes and there is no need for expensive additional hardware.

Security Concerns
A business’ data is its lifeblood. Company documents, employee records, customer information, and all other private data must stay confidential at all costs. This is why some organizations are so hesitant to provide employees with access to such information outside the office. It’s also why many businesses forbid the use of laptops since a lost or stolen laptop could mean sensitive information falling into the wrong hands.

I’m InTouch includes incredible security features that protect company information from unauthorized users.  First, I’m InTouch includes multiple passwords to protect workstations against unauthorized access and the passwords are never stored on any outside servers. All remote access data is encrypted using 128-bit SSL to ensure no can snoop in on your remote session. Users can also choose to add the SecureKEY that acts as a physical authentication key to prevent any unauthorized remote access. If the SecureKEY is not present, no remote access is possible - even if someone knows your login information.

One of the nicest things about using I’m InTouch is that no matter where you are in the world, you will always have access to your computer. Dr. Ray Drury discovered just how useful having remote access to your PC can be while on a trip to Germany.

“I work as an Occupational health physician with multiple clients across the UK. Whilst in Germany using Outlook on my laptop, I was informed that my e-mails were not arriving at my client’s desk. I was able to log on to my office machine, transfer the files (medical reports) and e-mails to the office and resend them. Everything was back to normal as far as the clients were concerned within half a day. Brilliant.”

Whether you need to run a program, remotely transfer files, or access your Email, I’m InTouch allows you to take your computer with you wherever you go (without actually having to physically lug it around of course).

Increasing numbers of businesses are looking for ways to become more energy efficient to not only help the environment, but also reduce costs during tough economic times.  One easy way to do this is by using I’m InTouch Premium’s remote wake-up technology.

If your business is leaving computers on 24/7 just so they can be remotely accessed as needed by employees, you are wasting money and energy - as much as $150 per year per PC.  That amount can quickly add up if you have numerous computers being left on.

Instead, make a smart choice to help the environment and save money by leaving the PCs off when not in use and remotely powering them on as needed with I’m InTouch Premium. All you need is one computer powered on and it can then start up any other I’m InTouch Premium computer on your network. When a user tries to access a shutdown PC, I’m InTouch Premium will automatically detect that it is off and allow the user to remotely power it on.

If your remote access software does not allow you to remotely power on your machine what are you waiting for? Switch to I’m InTouch Premium today!
