Working in a Cloud Environment

This post is from 2018. It may refer to software versions, prices or products that have changed since. Ask us if you want the current answer.

It’s just different – the biggest challenge we have when a client moves their business to a cloud solution is the day-to-day changes they didn’t expect.

Streaming Music – this has to be done through the local workstation. If it’s a thin client, that may not be an option. Remember, this uses quite a bit of band width and may actually cause performance issues for the rest of the users. What’s the company policy?

Working across multiple screens – now everything is in the cloud, so the remote access screen now spans two monitors. It looks different and takes a little getting used to.

Am I on my local computer or the Cloud?  Again, this just takes a little getting used to; there’s a tool bar for the remote session which can be minimized. Selecting printers may take a little adjustment, too.

Like any change, have the procedures out and available, and be patient. In no time at all, navigating all of this will be second nature!  – CMW
