Remote Work - Making a Case Study of Ourselves

Last week, we published an overview of things an IT team may want to consider if you, like many organizations worldwide right now, are sending your employees home to work. This  week, we are becoming our own case study. All Teradici employees are now working from home.

As David Smith, Teradici’s CEO, put it in his internal announcement, “If anyone can do this, we can.” While it’s true that most of Teradici’s approximately 150 employees work from our office in Burnaby, British Columbia, hopefully it doesn’t surprise you to learn that we do so via virtual desktops, using Teradici Cloud Access Software and hosted on a combination of public clouds (AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure), accessed from a variety of endpoint devices including zero clients, thin clients, laptops, PCs, Macs and tablets. 

“If anyone can do this, we can.”
    David Smith, Teradici CEO, in an internal work-from-home memo to staff.

Teradici employees already had the benefit of accessing their virtual cloud desktops from any location in the office, in meeting rooms, while traveling or at home - making this longer term work-from-home requirement very manageable from an IT perspective and easy to set up by employees. It was announced one day and implemented by the next morning.

That said, we do understand that it’s not as easy as it sounds for many organizations, particularly if you don’t have the background we do or an already established setup of virtual desktops and workstations. Teradici and our partners can help create and deliver solutions to transition your employees to work from home or address changes to requirements as you expand the number of employees working from home, and we can help you improve your business continuity and disaster recovery plans for virtualized and remote work forces.

We are already helping many organizations make this transition, and we can help you too. Contact a Teradici representative to discuss options and how we can help.
