The Unions Gave 72-Hour Notice, It’s Time To Plan BART Alternatives
Those of us in the Bay Area woke up this morning to news that the unions have given 72-hour notice of a strike. Last month when the workers went on strike, there was significant traffic impact as more commuters drove to work. But there is another way! There are BART alternatives – technology can empower people to work remotely – from their homes, coffee shops, libraries and parks. Setting up your employees to work from home can be done very quickly, without complicated deployments or dedicated hardware. Here are our two favorite options:
ADOBE CONNECT: This robust, virtual meeting room has the flexibility to replace meeting in person – and allow for meaningful collaboration. There is in-room VoIP for audio, and the ability to do video chat, screen share, conduct presentations and a host of other features. Adobe Connect is used by large enterprise, the government, and small businesses for team meetings, collaboration, webinars and virtual training.
