Webpoint

I’m Free of the Office!  Hooray for WebPoint!

I’m a pretty cool boss, but it bothers me that with so many employees on the road we can’t even keep our pricelists synched, let alone collaborate on sales numbers or other data.

I’ve tried high end collaboration tools, but they’re expensive to deploy and often take so much training that it’s just not viable in  our company.  That’s until I tried WebPoint VPN by Vedivi.  I took the free trial and within 30 minutes I’d downloaded and set up the VPN for remote access.

It’s frankly amazing.  I’m not sure how exactly it connects, but it does and it allows secure access to keep all the prying eyes out.  Basically you install the software on one pc in the network and it’ll discover all the other machines and servers in your network.

You log on via the WebPoint website, which then creates a secure connection between your remote PC and the Network.
Best of all, it actually uses your Windows authentication on your remote pc to connect to the network, so you can control access to data and servers!
I took the enterprise free trial and it works really well.  Try it for yourself.
