All of the files that an employee will need will be digital. This is essential in order to keep things organized, and have access to tenant’s history. With this in mind, a computer is absolutely necessary in order to access these files. It is up to you to provide your own computer so FSP Realty does not have to provide a system that you may not be familiar with. If you have your own notebook PC, you will likely also have an operating system as well. And since you have been using your system, you will already be familiar with the computer. This allows you to not have to learn a new OS?.
There are a couple of exceptions. You will not be able to use a Google Chrome OS PC. This is because Chrome OS does not offer a means to download and installing applications, nor can they access LAN? files. In addition, you must create a work profile. The profile will be able have the VPN? that would connect into the realty’s LAN?. This will therefore allow you to access the files on the file server. You will also be required to use an office suite that supports the Open Document Format. If yours does not, or you are unsure, then LibreOffice is a free option.
It is recommended that you backup your computer. The best way to do this is to use a NAS?, and have a NAS that is twice the capacity of the drives you need to backup. If all of your drives together are 250GB, then you need at least 500GB in storage. This backup will allow you to recover quickly after receiving a new computer, or in the case your system needed to be reformatted and reset.
