Hybrid working (or work from anywhere strategy, as referred to in our recent webinar with Anne Bibb) can be seen as the best of both worlds for employers and employees.Â

Fortify business resilience with ThinKiosk
At the beginning of 2020, companies faced a drastic and sudden shift in their business continuity planning, where work at home quickly became the only viable solution. This resulted in companies, en-masse, moving devices from location to their employees’ homes to continue operation.
This “Lift and shift” method companies were using prioritized speed and accessibility above all else. The most important thing was getting people working, accessing business-essential applications from home. This mostly took the form of a standard windows machine and a VPN to provide a secure connection. However, this method left much to be desired. In this post, we’ll be going through some of the challenges companies faced when employing this strategy of work at home enablement, what we can learn from these challenges, and how ThinKiosk provides an endpoint solution that improves companies’ business resilience.

While also providing a convenient solution for IT admins that makes management, control, and compliance over their entire estate easier.
ThinKiosk’s Versatility: Secret Ingredient to Solving Endpoint Issues
A thin client is a lightweight endpoint designed to facilitate connection to a server-based environment, where most of the typical computing is done by the server. Thin clients are a great way to simplify your IT architecture and improve security. However, the hardware itself does have its limitations in terms of versatility. A thin client device really cannot perform any other function outside of making that connection to a remote environment. In reality, the requirements of end-users and administrators can extend well beyond this, needing a more flexible endpoint solution.
