For many, remote access is not possible except in some cases to email. In this case, the only option available is to take a laptop wherever you travel or to work from an Internet café and ask someone to email the information you need to your webmail account. Overall, most would say this is a workaround, but by no means ideal particularly with working from home and broadband technology becoming increasingly prolific, direct access to the business is more desirable.

Individuals who travel with their laptops because they have no other means of working remotely, are likely to have the majority of their business residing on this computer. Not only is it heavy and cumbersome to carry around, but what happens when it is lost or stolen?

The roadtowork servers are designed for thousands of users and are therefore the latest and most powerful servers in the market for this type of service. You can be rest assured that because of the quality of the servers, their age, power and software they run; the reliability is second to none.

Clearly, regular maintenance needs to take place to maintain the reliability, and any maintenance is generally planned well in advance and all users are notified of this.

Unless you have thousands of pounds to spend on implementing a server to synchronise your emails with Outlook, handhelds linked into email have never really been 100% practical to date.

They are resource hungry draining the battery, data hungry and therefore expensive, and nothing synchronises properly meaning if you send an email from your PDA, the only way to retain a copy is by bcc. With roadtowork.com, we provide you with a full hosted service platform for synchronising your emails seamlessly to a large range of devices.

Roadtowork makes a fully fledged “corporate style” network affordable. If the only way of sharing information you have is by email, now is the time to change the way you work. Massive amounts of confidential data are sent backwards and forwards over the Internet between individuals in small businesses which has several significant implications:

Although for a large proportion of businesses, email is the only way to share information due to no network being available; it means that there is significant duplication of all the data.

Very often email might be used to obtain an opinion on a letter due to be sent, which by emailing, probably means there will be a copy in your sent items, your colleagues inbox, and also somewhere on your hard disk too.
It is totally insecure over the Internet and therefore a risk to the business.
Emailing documents backwards and forwards can lead to corruption.

How often do you try to retrieve some information from a backup tape to find that either someone forgot to run the job last night, no tape was put in, the tape is corrupt and won’t restore or for whatever reason the file you need was not selected in the job.

We backup everything on the servers and can even send you copies for your own records and safekeeping.

Here roadtowork can help you both physically and technically. With virtually unlimited capacity available to you on roadtowork, you will never have to worry about capacity again and avoid all those headaches of disk upgrades, NAS boxes or replacement servers due to a lack of space.

Additionally, because all the systems are held and managed in our datacentre, there is no need to set aside an air conditioned room at your offices for a server or two to gather dust.
