Workshifting: When Anywhere is Your Office

Workshifting—enabling staff to work anytime, anywhere, on any device—is one of the top trends in workplace improvements today. Companies large and small have are discovering the benefits if workshifting, including increased productivity and employee satisfaction and reduced office expense.

DynaSis’ ITility and Ascend solutions are tailor made for workshifting, because they transition some or all of the “productivity” functions of your office to a hosted environment where they can be accessed over the Internet. The user interface for the solution, powered by industry-leading virtual IT solution developer Citrix, is completely secure and can restrict users from storing corporate data on the remote device.

DynaSis works with your company to establish access controls, stringent passwords and other protections you need to fully lock down your corporate data and applications, no matter where workers access them. And, since our IT solutions support workshifting programs from casual to dedicated—from letting workers check email in the morning at home to having them work remotely all the time—you retain total control and flexibility.
