Data Entry Jobs: Work From Home Data Entry Jobs, Services

By Rod Deluhery

Pandemic planning, and working from home.

Disaster recovery planning is being challenged by the possibility of avian bird flu or other outbreak that would leave workers stuck at home for weeks at a time. The worst case scenario is that avian bird flu mutates into a fast spreading communicable disease. The challenge for public safety, county and city services is this. How do you still provide services when your staff can not leave home or is simply afraid to enter into the normal workplace?

City jobs that require physical labor will be severely impacted as workers call in sick. But the computer operations that many people do all day long can be done from home. Remote computing can assist in some situations. The challenge is how to make it work securely and easily from users homes. Remote computing can help when they are either afraid to come to work or have symptoms of the disease themselves. Remote computing, or telecommuting, has been around for years and is used by many corporations. How can such technology be used?

For a brief example of how remote computing would help an organization, we will start with a critical city service, paying the bills! Verifying pay records, verifying overtime and assimilating all the businesses and services who need to get paid is a huge job. The final product after the batch runs is to create the paychecks for distribution. The city users who do this at their computer would need to be able to do this from their home computer in a way that is secure and gives the users access to the same resources they have in the office workplace. What are the challenges to doing this? The first is to find out what are the most important tasks that keep the city running, like check writing. Parcel out the tasks into high and low priority, in order of how often and the amount of people it takes to do the task.

One the tasks are broken into priority and number of users, those applications that people use can be put on remote access servers in such!
a way t
hat most home based users could run the application from their home pc. That means minimal amount of software installed on the users home computer, and a secure connection to the city resources either via internet, dial-up or radio.
This would allow the users to run these applications from the computers at home without endangering themselves or others.

The technology exists to solve the problems discussed here, the question is how much money are governments willing to spend? Are they ready to spend money on building systems that are only used for emergencies? There has been more than one local government that recently stopped paying for offsite disaster recovery services, even in the light of Hurricane Katrina. Setting aside funds for disaster recovery systems is like setting aside money for anything that is not critical. The money is competing for many other hands and people are fighting for those funds.
