Positive Networks launches PositivePRO Workforce Recovery Plan
The PositivePRO Workforce Recovery Plan helps remote and mobile employees access network data and applications during a crisis event. In such situations remote access can become a bottleneck and PositivePRO Workforce Recovery Plan has been designed to address this problem by allowing organizations to pre-determine their secure remote access requirements so every remote or mobile employee can access the systems and files they need without causing a drag on network performance or threatening network security. Additionally, remote employees can communicate with partners, suppliers, and customers about any immediate changes in operations, procedures or the status of orders as a result of the event. The new program takes advantage of Positive Networks' proprietary hosted remote access solution which allows IT administrators to set up their employees for remote access in case of need without any hardware to purchase. To handle spikes in remote access demand and for redundancy protection, Positive Networks has established multiple data centers across the US. "PositivePRO Workforce Recovery Plan changes the way that organizations plan for disaster recovery by eliminating the need to invest in unutilized capital equipment," said Michael Yim, vice president of marketing, Positive Networks. "Instead, enterprises of all sizes can simply pay for remote access usage when they need it, eliminating a major hurdle to planning in advance." The PositivePRO Workforce Recovery Plan includes working with a remote access specialist who will run through all the possible scenarios that could cause a spike in remote access usage and set a timetable for getting them set up with the PositivePRO service so they can scale up their remote access with the literal flip of a switch. Besides the advanced set up, Positive Networks provides customers with a security assessment of their network's disaster preparedness. The company offers recommendations to the customer to shore up areas of weakness that could prohibit the full implementation of Workforce Recovery Plan during an unplanned event. Even if the organization has done no disaster recovery planning, the new program from Positive Networks can be set up and fully functional in less than two hours. Pricing for Workforce Recovery Plan starts at $1-$3/month to reserve users in case of an emergency depending on the number of user licenses. It only costs an additional $7-$20/month if remote access is activated, depending on the number of users that need to be included in the service. For more details on the program, call 877-932-8671 to speak with a remote access specialist.
