Since the outbreak of COVID-19 in Switzerland, home office has received a significant boost in popularity. It is an effective measure to contain the spread of the coronavirus at the workplace. But by no means all SMEs are prepared for it and have the necessary IT systems in operation. We will show you what options are available for home office and how expensive they are. Which method is most suitable depends on your current IT environment and whether you use a local server or have outsourced your IT systems to the cloud.<\/p>\n
With a remote desktop or Citrix solution, virtual Windows desktops are installed on the server at your office or in the cloud (My Workplace 2.0<\/a>). Each employee receives his or her own virtual desktop, which he or she can access from any device. So you always have your familiar user interface with all your data and applications. Since only the screen contents and the keyboard and mouse inputs are transferred from your server to the home office, this solution is very performant even with a slower Internet connection.<\/p>\n Requirements:<\/strong> One local server or the will to move to the cloud<\/p>\n Advantages:<\/strong> Very user-friendly, very high performance even with slow Internet connection, setup on home PC takes only a few seconds<\/p>\n Disadvantages: <\/strong> Partially high costs, conditionally suitable for graphics-intensive applications<\/p>\n One-off costs:<\/strong> <\/a>Monthly costs:<\/strong> approx.
