Open Anywhere Office
Egressive is pleased to present our secure virtual office network service which we call “Open Anywhere Office”. It offers geographically separate computer users in a business or organsation secure access to level of capability you'd expect from an office file server – including email and other collaboration capabilities as well as secure peer-to-peer access to each other's computers – without the office. You can reach it from anywhere you can access the internet.
Open Anywhere Office offers these benefits:
- secure access from any internet connection - stay securely connected to your office files and your colleagues from your workstation or laptop via a virtual private network (VPN)
- shared file space – securely share important business files on managed high-speed servers that are protected with daily backups
- individual user file spaces – place for securely storing personal files as well, also backed up
- spam and virus filtering - email is filtered for spam and viruses before it gets to you
- send mail from anywhere - send mail securely with your normal email client (e.g. Microsoft Outlook or Mozilla Thunderbird) from anywhere without having to reconfigure your settings
- secure webmail – read your email securely from any web browser
- shared email folders - maintain shared email folders for important project and customer email
- shared printing - share your printer with your colleagues through the VPN – like faxing but with no call charges
- website hosting - host your company or organisation website.
- no license fees - all Open Anywhere Office capabilities are provided with free and open source software with no per-seat licensing costs.
