“Loss of power at individual homes that limited ability to connect with AMS, email, etc., [was a challenge]. Also many employees have children and they could not keep up with regular services with the realities of parenting. Even those without children had to deal with shoveling and other emergencies which took them away from being able to work remotely.”

“The majority of staff can telecommute which includes full access to email as well as electronic files on the main server/shared drive. This is made possible through remote hosted services provided by [IT and AMS service providers]. This operational model is also a routine part of our corporate culture so the physical disruption created by the snow was not a barrier to business as usual and productivity.”
