Working in the Office is Easy

• Alan is working on a project with his team and
  needs to share data when its created.
• Because they have access to a LAN or wireless
  network at their office, they can easily store
  project data on their file server, print to a
  printer and send files and messages to each other
  using Email.
• But what happens if Alan and his team need to
  work at a client site where they cannot get a
  reliable, high speed Internet connection?
