Homeworking Solution |
| Homeworking initiatives provide more flexible working options for staff helping them to improve their work/life balance whilst giving value for money to taxpayers and saving councils money. |
|
The benefits of Homeworking are plentiful:
- Increased productivity
- Improve employee work/life balance
- Reduced sickness levels
- Reduced office accommodation requirements
- Improved value for money through increased motivation and better levels of performance
- Relief on the local transport infrastructure
|
| The cost reductions alone are compelling. Asset Management estimates the cost of accommodating each person in their current office space is around £1,500 per annum. As more people homework and whole teams can work remotely, those accommodation costs will be further reduced as communal office space, such as meeting rooms and storage, can be eliminated providing a further cost-saving to the council. |
| Traditional homeworking solutions use a PC owned and configured by the council with broadband access to enable them to work at home. Our Homeworking Solution goes one-step further. It is a private connection which does not go via the Internet and provides your members and employees with full, fast access to all your office services. We can provide greater bandwidth over a greater distance at lower cost that any other known technology provider. |
| Our service is more than a standard ISDN line as we can deliver speeds of up to 57mb depending upon your requirements. And most importantly it is more secure - we create a point-to-point connection direct from the home to the local telephone exchange and from the exchange to the network gateway at your office. |
| Your Network Manager then controls and provides any internet access from within your LAN. In effect eXstream networks provides a LAN extension allowing the homeworker access as though he or she was at their normal office desk. |
