You may well have watched the article this morning on BBC breakfast about working from home; it is much easier nowadays, using the technology we have at our disposal, to work from home with no loss of functionality.

Working from Home

With Google Apps (a full article on this is coming soon) all of our important documents and emails are accessible from anywhere in the world without any special software. We also use some very clever (and free!) synchronisation software, which enables us to make sure that we have access to all the files we have at work when we are at home.

The icing on the cake is the remote-extension feature of our VOIP telephone system which allows me to answer the main business number from the comfort of my home office. This is much more intelligent than simple call forwarding, both the phones in the main office and my home ring at the same time and If I pick up a call intended for Mike or Richard I can seamlessly transfer the call to them, in exactly the same way as I would working in the office. Equally, my colleagues back at base can forward calls to my home.
