Take Your Office With You, Wherever You Go

(MS) - Simple-to-use technology has done much to ease the load of workers across the globe. It's now possible for employees to access their office computer from just about anywhere, whether they're on vacation, attending a convention or seminar, or merely working from the comfort of home.

· Vacationers: What to do when you're out of town and your boss, colleague or customer needs a document or other information that's on your computer back at the office? With GoToMyPC® (www.gotomypc.com), all you need is an Internet browser to connect quickly and securely to your office PC - just as if you were sitting in front of it. You'll have full access to all of your own files, programs, network resources and e-mail in a matter of seconds. The resort you're staying at doesn't even need to be operating on the same computer platform as the one back in your office. So you can access your work PC from the Macintosh in your hotel's lobby or even from an airport computer cafe. Get the work done and then go back to enjoying your vacation.

· The road weary: While laptops were once the traveling professional's saving grace, there's no need to lug that bulky company laptop along for the ride on each and every trip. With GoToMyPC, you can drag and drop files between your remote location and your office or home PC and even print documents directly to the printer where you're working. This allows you to jot down a few ideas or proposals and have them ready and accessible for your boss or coworkers without even sending an e-mail or making as much as one phone call.

· Teleworkers: More and more, employers and employees alike are realizing the benefits of telecommuting or Web commuting. Employees can avoid morning and afternoon rush-hour traffic, while employers can save money by needing less office space and fewer supplies. Working parents are finding Web commuting especially beneficial. Whereas maternity leave used to cost companies time and money, working moms-to-be can now access company networks, their own files and e-mail without leaving the house, drastically reducing the overall toll maternity leave can take on a company's productivity. In addition, as kids get older, working parents don't have to miss recitals, ballgames or take days off because of a sick child. Working parents can meet the demands of work and family when they can easily access their office PC from home.
