Remote working for Architects, Engineers & Construction Professionals

Data remains on the company server
Files are locked as normal preventing overwriting
Data gets backed up as normal
The remote desktop connection uses keystrokes over the broadband connection rather than downloading the files to your home device
You get access to all the work related programs, i.e. Office Suite & Autodesk Applications
Work on large files in AutoCAD or Revit as if you were in the office

Notes:

All works would be completed remotely by Diatec technical team
If using your own supplied home PC/laptop as opposed to new business supplied one, the old device needs to be in good running order (i.e. not running slow or nearly full & it needs to be a Windows 10 device).
We cannot be responsible nor do we have the time to start fixing issues on old home devices.
If you decide to utilize an existing home device, the business does run a greater risk of exposure to ransomware & other threats (even with new updated AV deployed) than would be the case if you were to procure a new inexpensive laptop. This is because you cannot be sure what the home device has been utilised for or what has been installed or deployed, whereas a new business supplied inexpensive laptop can be locked down more effectively for business Apps.
Connectivity issues including any latency experienced by a remote desktop user, will depend on the quality & speed of both the home broadband & the office broadband, the total number of users accessing remotely, any limit on the number of connections your Office firewall will support, the speed/age of the firewall in the office & the size of any large files particularly very large Revit files.
Pricing based on existing SonicWall firewall in situ in company Office. If nothing in place or old firewall in place, Diatec can quote, supply & install upgraded SonicWall firewall suitable for the scale of your business.
