For the past couple years, companies have increased work from home opportunities for their employees in response to the global coronavirus pandemic. When the first lockdowns occurred, Information Technology technicians and businesses were scrambling to provide platforms so remote workers could connect to their office from home. Businesses started exploring the latest collaboration platforms such as Microsoft Teams, Dynamics 365, and Zoom that have proven to be valuable tools allowing virtual meetings and video conferencing. Configuring a Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection is another important work from home tool that allows the remote worker to access emails and files or even their desktop at the office.
