While it was not our plan to have our central office staff work remotely at the drop of a hat, we thankfully had CherryRoad’s SHARK UTM® Remote Workplace at our disposal. In a matter of hours we created accounts for all of our central office staff and gave them connections to their desktops. It’s working out amazingly well and has provided invaluable flexibility in coping with the ever-changing work conditions we’re all facing.,
