San Francisco Law Firm Boosts Out-of-Office Productivity, Gains Flexibility in Work Hours

When away from the office, the only access attorneys and staff had to their work was through emails forwarded to their yahoo or hotmail accounts. 

Terminal Server Installed

After BOC installed a Microsoft Terminal Server, a new world in remote computing opened to the firm.  Now staff have remote access to all their documents, all their emails, and all of their other research tools and applications.  

It's Like Sitting At Your Desk

When connected remotely to the Terminal Server, a full-screen environment appears which duplicates what each user normally sees when sitting at their office computer.  Even when connected through a plain dial-up service such as AOL,  the remote desktop performs as smoothly and quickly as if they were sitting in the office.  Lag time is negligible.  The user can even print to their local printer.

Work From The Road Or Your Vacation House

Now attorneys are much freer to work when traveling, or take a needed long weekend while finishing up a brief from their vacation home.  Telecommuting is also now a realistic option.

A Worthwhile Investment

If there were any doubts about the value of the investment before Terminal Server was installed, there certainly are no doubters now.  The technology has become as indispensable to the office as email.
