Access Your PC from Anywhere

by Richard Rabins

In the Alpha Newsletter we normally stay very focused on tips, advice, examples and user stories relating to Alpha and how to make it work for you.

The story below is a little different. It is prompted by a product that we use extensively at Alpha and find extremely useful! Because of this, we approached the company who makes it to see if they would offer Alpha people a special deal. They have agreed to this request -- so when you click on the links below you will see special pricing for people in the Alpha Community ($119 instead of $179).

The number of people working out of their homes in the United States has jumped 40 percent in the past two years according to the 2003 American Interactive Consumer Survey conducted by The Dieringer Research Group and reported by ITAC.

"This latest research quantifies what we have believed about the growth of teleworking in America," says Tim Kane, President of ITAC and President of Kinetic Workplace. "Telework is coming of age as the enabling technology, tools and training become available."

The American Interactive Consumer Survey, which has been conducted since 1995, offers comparative chronological data on teleworkers who worked at home during business hours at least one day per month. In 2003, there were 23.5 million employed teleworkers compared to 16.8 million in 2001 and 11.6 million in 1997. Teleworking has doubled in the past five years and is increasing at a rapid rate.

A combination of factors are driving the increase. Broadband, email and other technologies, including GoToMyPC, are making telework increasingly possible. And the personal and business benefits of telework, such as reduced commute time, greater productivity and increased flexibility, are driving more people to work from home.

GoToMyPC Personal allows you to remotely access your computer from any other Internet-connected computer in the world with almost any operating system through a secure, private connection.
