More and more businesses are facing challenges of supporting a remote workforce and providing infrastructure for staff to work from home. Providing an effective and secure work-from-home environment for your employees typically requires a Virtual Private Network (VPN). A VPN provides remote access to your network with a secure connection and allows your staff to work from home as if they were in the office. 

If your company is having to adapt to a new remote work environment, consider contact CHR today. As an immediate managed services provider, we can help in obtaining and provisioning a new firewall with VPN or upgrade your current firewall. 

CHR is a certified Microsoft Partner and we have helped small, medium, and large enterprise clients successfully migrate to Microsoft 365 (formerly known as Office 365). There are a number of benefits that come with migration such as increased productivity with cross-platform support, affordability with flexible subscription packages, and automatic updates.

With the recent shift to largely remote and online behavior, both work and personal, now is the perfect time to optimize your set up for productivity and ease of use. Contact CHR today to learn more about our Microsoft 365 migration services.

With the recent shift to remote working environments, it is now more important than ever for companies to ensure their files are safe and secure, while still accessible remotely.
