Digitization - Start. Now.

Ensure basic business functions and grow beyond them

Critics of the home office often argued that the whole thing was not even possible: there was talk of holidays on the balcony and a crash in productivity. But suddenly many had to work from home overnight. This is where opportunities lie. Opportunities to conscientiously push ahead with digitalisation and to prepare for the challenges of the digital age.

We show you how to modernise your infrastructure in order to face your customers professionally.

Work from home

Basic equipment

In addition to a computer and monitor, a fast and stable Internet connection is indispensable. Your network router should therefore be state of the art. Modern routers can regulate Internet usage so that you have full bandwidth when you need it. As the number of devices in your home office increases, so does the need for cables and adapters. Those who shy away from a tangle of cables prefer to connect their devices via WLAN.


Workplace setup

What you need to start your work is certainly individual. Whether desktop PC or notebook, two monitors can simplify work unimaginably and increase your productivity. If you work especially long hours in front of the computer, an ergonomic mouse and keyboard is highly recommended. Although many look to the paperless office, a solid multifunction printer is a must in any home office.



 

Be seen and heard

While laptops usually have an integrated webcam, a clip-on webcam delivers much better video quality. Noise-free sound is just as important. A high-quality microphone with a cardioid characteristic is particularly suitable for this. A wireless headset gives you the freedom to move around the room. It is advisable to purchase a very lightweight wireless headset. Last but not least, make sure you have adequate lighting to prevent headaches.


Present your product

You want to demonstrate your latest product and stream it live to your customer? A camera with HDMI or SDI output is suitable for a high-quality image. To complete your setup, you need a video grabber (also called a capture card) in addition to streaming software. Read more about this in our guide.


Safety

Before you get started with your work at home, you should think about security. This includes both the safe operation of your equipment and the responsible handling of business data. Electrical devices can be protected with a UPS. In the event of a power failure, this gives you enough time to save your work and shut down the computer.

Data is not called the raw material of the 21st century for nothing. This makes its protection all the more important. With a NAS storage solution, you ensure that your data is redundant. The use of a VPN, an antivirus program and a desktop firewall can protect you from threats from the network.

Digitization in everyday business

How does digitization simplify your everyday business? We will introduce you to the technology you need to create real added value for you and your customers.


Plan and present

Today, planning and presenting can be done digitally. The necessary equipment includes projector, screen, computer and laser pointer.

By means of digital signage you further enhance your entrance area or your shop window. Interactive offers encourage your customers to stay.


Better meetings

You've probably taken an unnecessary business trip or two. If you conduct meetings and conferences digitally, you not only save on travel expenses, but also remain agile and time-sufficient. With conference cameras, you can get all participants in the picture and show your counterpart a high-quality image. For crystal-clear sound, a conference phone is a must.

Office furnishings

When furnishing your workplace, pay attention to ergonomics. A chair with an adjustable backrest is recommended, but also a height-adjustable desk. Various studies show that the use of height-adjustable desks promotes productivity, concentration and health!
