Remote Access – Accessing Emails and Files from Anywhere August 8, 2008
Posted by charitysolutions in charity computers, charity IT.add a comment
Have you ever taken work home on a disk or CD and discovered that your documents didn’t survive the transition from the hard drive? Ever been away from the office and wished you could get at your computer for just a second to access client details or other important information?
Being able to work from home in comfortable surroundings or having the ability to access your work computer files while away from the office used to be an expensive luxury not within easy reach of your typical small organisation. However, many organisations, large and small, now can have some form or another of remote access to their network without having to break the bank.
Simply put, remote access is a service that provides access to information and applications on your network from locations other than your normal place of work.
Many technologies are on the market to enable this kind of access, including:
- Software – either included with operating system or purchased separately
- Web-based applications
- Blackberries
- Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs)
Over the next few blogs we shall be looking at the pros and cons of various types of remote access available and which ones are potentially the most beneficial to organisations without huge IT resources or budgets.
New Blog Design May 28, 2008
Posted by charitysolutions in General.add a comment
We have updated our blog design & layout – partly to give it a new, fresh look and partly because the old design didn’t display the links at the side of sub pages, which lead to some confusion when people were reading older posts.
Hope you like the new design. If you have any views, comments or suggestions, just let us know – leave a comment or contact us (details on the About Charity Solutions page).
New Ways to Keep Up To Date May 25, 2008
Posted by charitysolutions in General, Uncategorized.2 comments
It is now much easier to keep updated with our blog.
If you look in the link area on the right of each page, you will see a whole set of new little links and icons to allow you to keep up to date via an RSS feed, Google Feed or Technorati.
Or if the the whole RSS thing doesn’t appeal, you can now get an email update every time we update the blog – just click on the Get an Email Update… link and follow the instructions. If you sign up using this service, Feedburner (who manage the updates for us) will send you an email in the afternoon (UK time) after we make an update with details of the new blog entry.
Hope you find the new services useful. If you need any help setting it up – or just getting to grips about what this whole RSS feed thing is about – just contact us (details on the About Charity Solutions page) or leave us a comment and we will do our best to help.
