Transcript of Tech comm presentation 2012 09-20
Remote Computing Work Anywhere!
September 20, 2012
The purpose of this meeting is to inform and introduce
technology to Chamber members, not necessarily to give a complete education on the topics discussed.
Some of the technologies discussed are quite often available through Chamber member companies, including several of the volunteers in the subcommittee. Other topics are presented as classes by the Chambers.
If you would like to discuss any of these topics more in-depth, please contact one of the subcommittee members after the meeting and we’ll get you in touch with the best contact for your interest.

Remote Computing Options Three types of Remote Computing
Web-Enabled Applications Uses a Web Browser
Ex) Outlook Web Access, Sugar CRM
Remote Access Connect your home computer or laptop to the office via a secure,
private network
Ex) Virtual Private Networking (VPN)
Remote Control Control your office computer from home
Ex) Remote Desktop Connection, LogMeIn, VNC
Web-Enabled Applications How do users connect to work functions?
Internet Browser to a Web Interface (webpage/website)
How does it work?
Applications run on the “web server”, not on your computer
Accessed via any web browser from any location
Secure (SSL encryption, centralized security management)
Information is shared by all authorized employees
What types of work functions can be done this way? Anything!
CRM (Customer Relationship Management)
Company “memory” (imagine your own mini-Wikipedia)
Project Management
Remote Access How do users connect to work functions?
Secure, Private Connection
How does it work?
User connects to a remote network that allows file sharing, file transfer, printing
Files are opened using the programs on the computer that the user is physically using
Uses Virtual Private Networking (VPN) (configured by IT Professional)
Hardware based connection
Router or firewall appliance
Software based connection
Server-side endpoint
Remote Control How do users connect to work functions?
Remote Desktop
How does it work?
User connects to a remote computer that extends the display, keyboard & mouse functions to the user’s computer
What types of work functions can be done this way?
Anything that a user does while at the office Generally, not good for graphics-intensive programs
Great for limited bandwidth connections
Commonly used for Tech Support
Remote Control Two types
In-House (No third party connection) - requires static IP with port map in router
Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP)
Virtual Network Computing (VNC)
Hosted (Connect to a third party) LogMeIn
GoToMyPC
GoToAssist – Tech Support
Other Considerations Security
as secure as password
Cost Factors
depends on selected options (starts at free)
Resources (who to talk to)
IT Professionals In-house or outside resources (this Technology Committee)
Timeliness of Implementation
one month to configure & test
Just enough time before the Blanchette Bridge closure
