Working at home can be great for the employee, but it does sometimes provide complications for an IT manager. Transcend United can help you make your mobile and home-office based employees every bit as productive as those at headquarters.
According to Forrester Research, about 20% of all employees are mobile information workers who travel frequently or telecommute. In addition, even employees who do not travel frequently have come to expect support for mobile access to email and other corporate applications, in response to corporate expectations that they be "on call" outside of normal working hours. Transcend United Technologies offers several solutions to help companies better manage infrastructure for mobile workers.
Application Performance and Network Access.
Transcend United Technologies is a premier Riverbed partner. With Steelhead Mobile software from Riverbed, companies of any size can give mobile workers LAN-like access to corporate files and applications no matter where they are, anywhere in the world. With a simple software package installed transparently on laptops or desktops, Steelhead Mobile can overcome the challenges of variable locations, inconsistent links, and high-latency environments that all conspire against mobile workers.
User Authentication and Security.
"Companies have more mobile workers than ever, and they want to give those workers all the tools they need to do their job effectively," says Laura Koetzle, an analyst at Forrester Research in Cambridge, Massachusetts. But much of the infrastructure that enables mobile computing is insecure and authentication policies are difficult to manage for mobile workers. Transcend United Technologies offers secure two-factor authentication systems from RSA that simplify secure access to enterprise applications and network resources.
Remote backups.
How many mobile workers regularly backup their laptops? Surprisingly few. How many backup their smart phones? Next to none. Transcend United Technologies offers solutions that seamlessly protect data on laptops and other mobile devices without any end user involvement. And you pay only one low fee based on the amount of data you backup, not a per user software charge.
Blackberry Management and Recovery.
Transcend United offers continuous data replication and fast disaster recovery for Blackberry Enterprise Servers (BES). Any BES server at one or more of your locations can be protected in real-time and can easily be "failed-over" to one of our SAS 70 Type II certified disaster recovery centers. If disaster strikes your business, you'll have this primary communications system up and running in about 15 minutes.
Inexpensive high definition video conferencing.
The future is here. Transcend United offers incredibly high-quality, low-bandwidth, inexpensive personal video conference equipment from Lifesize. You simply won't believe how clear the picture is, even at 512K of bandwidth. And these systems easily pay for themselves by reducing travel costs.
The bottom line: mobile and home office workers can have the same accessibility as in-office employees when you use services from Transcend United.
