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.
