The Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is causing confusion and uncertainty across the globe. Businesses are attempting to deal with the outbreak by following World Health Organization (WHO) guidance on how to protect workers while continuing to operate normally.
At Advantex, we have enabled a work-from-home policy to limit the potential spread of infection, with a skeleton support staff at the office, site-based teams working independently and a reduction of face to face meetings with our clients with the use of technology.
While we implement our business continuity processes, I want to assure you that we are operating as normal. You will continue to receive the exemplary levels of service that you know and come to expect from Advantex, and we will be utilising all the technologies at our disposal to engage and support you through this unprecedented time.
We also understand both the importance of keeping your business up and running, as well as the welfare and well-being of your staff and are here to support you if needed with solutions including;
- VPN access for remote workers using Microsoft or Cisco
- Microsoft Teams or Mitel for remote collaboration
- Microsoft Office 365 SharePoint and Azure for cloud-based services
- Diversion of calls to remote sites or users
Also, commencing with immediate effect, Advantex is working in collaboration with Cisco who have extended the free of charge period on the following security solutions to at least 6 weeks, allowing you to simply and cost-effectively implement a work from home capability for your business that will reduce the chance of a cyber-attack;
