Defining what hardware and software would be needed for a baseline remote setup, if the client had an internet connnection that would support remote work, vpn software selection and support vpn hardware - for both the campus and the remotes. training and acceptable use policies and enforsement data logging of connections and usage
It allowed our workforce the flexabilty to work remotly as needed and still perform many tasks that otherwise would not be able to be done.
