In this episode we outline a straightforward process and approach which orgnaisations can use to help prepare for restrictions imposed due to the Coronavirus / Covid19 pandemic. In particular when you have no access to your premises.   Approach / Project Phases 1. Analysis - what systems have I got, and how critical are they? How to ask the right questions to determine this. 2. Requirements - what do we need to do, in detail? 3. Delivery - implementation, what are the tasks, who is doing them and by when? 4. Test - make sure everything works as expected.   Remote control software tools TightVNC https://www.tightvnc.com/download.html Chrome Remote (free) https://remotedesktop.google.com/ GoToMyPC ($$ paid) https://get.gotomypc.com/ Teamviewer ($$$ paid)   Trello Board - Coronavirus Business Preparation (reusable template) https://trello.com/b/iVt2ZJPs/coronavirus-business-preparation/cczmark/recommend   Other tools worth considering..   Online backup services Backblaze (paid - I use this) - https://www.backblaze.com/   Password Store Make sure you keep a record of all critical system user accounts and passwords.
