Customer endorsement:
"One of the biggest challenges facing our company is managing the work/life balance. Like me many of the employees are also mothers of small children. We all frequently need to travel across the UK and abroad, and are often out of the office."

"Extrasys provided us with the solution and now enables us to work from anywhere. Our desktop, all the applications used for everyday work (such as Word, Quark, etc) and our corporate network are run in Extrasys's data centres and accessed through a broadband connection."

"This travelling desktop gives us secure access to the files and programmes from any computer via a broadband internet connection - whether we are at home, in the office or on the move. This allows us to work as effectively from home, which is crucial for many employees during school holidays or when a child is ill and cannot attend school."
