Despite the torrid weather conditions across the UK, Dataplex continue to operate as a business with all staff working collaboratively from home.
Using a combination of Citrix technologies Dataplex staff have been able to access systems securely in real time from their home locations, this coupled with online meeting technology has provided Dataplex with the ability to be “virtually” there and continue to maintain operations.
Managing Director, Richard Sparrow who braved the elements for 2 ½ hours last night to cover 10 miles on the journey to his house provided the following statement:
“Dataplex have delivered real-time collaborative systems for many years and our clients have enjoyed the flexibility they deliver, yesterday morning we put into full swing the advice we provide. Dataplex invoked their Business Continuity Plan yesterday morning for our Manchester and Oxford offices informing all staff to log on from home as normal, all systems were accessible as were all communications. Dataplex respect the need to ensure their workforce is safe in such harsh conditions and as such have provided the infrastructure to ensure their wellbeing”.
Both Manchester and Oxfordshire has seen some of the worst snow conditions in decades, impacting business performance just as they get started in the New Year.
