He can get carried away. There are many scenarios for using remote computing software. Carol and Jim of the Clayton, Johnston law firm described their particular setup for bookkeeping. I described another possible scenario for working away from the office. The cost of remote computing is relatively inexpensive compared to the expected benefits, provided you use the system.
Planning is the key ingredient.
Decide who needs remote access and what software applications they will run remotely. Plan to use a product with security features that match the needs of the firm. And, your first setup will go much easier if you bring the remote computer into the office and connect the two together while they are in close proximity to each other. In other words, work out the bugs and procedures in one location. That way, when you do make the true remote connection, you won't be driving back and forth between computers working out the bugs.
