Compudata’s Response to COVID-19

Compudata and COVID-19

The following information is accurate as of our last update on January 20th, 2022.  It is considered as policy by Compudata until such time as it is changed, or superseded by the requirements of Health Canada and Public Health Ontario.

COVID-19 Work From Home

Compudata and Remote Work Enablement

With the spread of COVID-19, businesses understand that working remotely is a recommended measure for limiting the transmission of this novel coronavirus.  Many organizations, however, are technically unprepared to implement this for their workers.  Importantly, if you or a colleague needs to work from home while in self-isolation or quarantine, it may not be possible to obtain equipment such as a laptop or a business phone, or receive the on-site training required to become an effective teleworker.

If you haven’t already connected with us to help with the remote enablement of your workforce, it is time to reach out to us. We are experts at making telecommuting simple and secure for your organization!  Click here to contact us and take back your productivity in this difficult time:  https://compudatasolutions.ca/contact-us/
