Gigaclear, the ultrafast, pure fibre broadband networks provider, has enabled rural businesses across its networks in Oxfordshire to capitalise on cloud computing and homeworking. Webexpenses, a business providing cloud computing software for efficient expense management based in Eaton, Abingdon, claims that Gigaclear’s broadband performance and reliability has been integral to the business’ success. Webexpenses, an internet-based business, has seen both its operations and support staff capabilities boosted since taking advantage of the Gigaclear gigabit, symmetric, pure fibre broadband network.
With a larger workforce now able to work more effectively, enabled by robust connectivity giving seamless access to web based tools. Services such as Skype and Google docs for example provide instantaneous communications and data access allowing development and customer support staff to edit, review, share and store all documents in the cloud, meaning customer support is far more responsive and effective. Webexpenses can now operate highly effectively across a diffuse rural environment. These developments follow a broader trend in UK businesses no longer wanting expensive office space to house all employees and needing faster, more reliable data communications to enable remote employees to work as if they were in the same office.
