Remote data access for church institutions

The necessity to flexibilize working hours and work locations while reducing costs is no longer just a matter of the private sector, it also concerns churches and social organizations.

Such organizations there need to provide a remote access to data and applications. Appropriate technologies match even the highest requirements of data protection and data security.

Workflow for church institutions:

Typical application scenarios:

Outpatient care

For caregivers, there is a need to write appropriate assignment reports after their actual care activities. Instead of returning to the facility for this, it can be a relief to do this flexibly from home in the evenings or mornings. This not only promotes the motivation and commitment of employees through a higher degree of personal responsibility and independent time management, but also significantly reduces travel costs.

It must be possible to respond quickly to unforeseen events or even emergencies, even on weekends or outside regular working hours. For example, duty managers must be able to adjust route plans and caregivers must be able to access them flexibly and immediately. Secure and fast access to the facility's management systems is therefore essential.

For reasons of flexibility, but also with regard to an often limited budget in the social or church sector, it makes sense to allow the use of private PCs. ECOS products offer solutions that meet data protection and data security requirements, are easy to implement and use, and are easy on the budget.

Parish offices

Particularly high data protection requirements apply to access to registration data by parish priests and staff.

Access to registration data for pastors and staff is subject to particularly high requirements. Besides, volunteers may assume administrative tasks too and consequently need access to the relevant systems. It is hence necessary to ensure that no unauthorized third party has access to any related information.

Home workplaces

To support families and retain experienced employees, mothers-to-be and parents with small children must be given the opportunity to reconcile family and career.

If the strict separation of business and private usage is warranted, any home PC can be used without security concerns to provide highly secure remote access to data from home.

Kindergartens and schools

Appropriate security precautions must be taken for educators' and teachers' access to administrative systems, especially since development reports or report cards are very personal data.

If a PC is also used to surf the internet, the access to illegal or age-inappropriate contents must be prohibited.

Application scenario Merger of facilities

Alliances of organizations

Considering streamlining aspects, more and more organizations are subordinated to a central administration. Depending on the size of an organization, cross-site networking or the integration of single PCs may be recommendable.

To ensure the most efficient administration, it is important that all systems are centrally manageable.
