It has been “business as usual” at ERI throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Although ERI’s motto has always been “collaboration under one roof,” we began developing the IT and communications infrastructure to enable our staff to effectively serve our clients remotely over 15 years ago. As a result, when our Governor mandated prudent social distancing and “stay at home” policies to flatten the COVID-19 transmission curve this past March, ERI was able to immediately transition our environmental risk management staff from our headquarters to their respective homes in the Charlotte, NC area. Staff members can easily access our secure Virtual Private Network (VPN) from home, and the VPN’s multifactorial authentication ensures client data is always secure. In the event of an internet carrier outage, ERI can also immediately convert to a private, secondary fiber optic internet connection. This alternate connection allows us to maintain productivity during peak internet demand. ERI has embraced redundancy when designing our IT systems!
