Covid-19 has wreaked havoc on our lives, including our working setup. With that, ZZ Computer, an IT Support & IT Services in Los Angeles is here to tackle the things you need to consider before you dive into a working from home setup.
As Covid-19 is sweeping the world, non-essential business’s workforce was forced to leave their workplace and use their home as their means to generate income.
Some companies were prepared and already had staff that worked from home or alternate location and they simply expanded this technology to the rest of the company staff. Many were not prepared and all of sudden found themselves locked out of their workplace and unable to communicate with their clients to sell their goods and services.
Unfortunately, this lock-down could be extended for months or years, and as everyone knows the trend points to more frequent Pathogens in the future.
That’s why ZZ Computer has heavily invested in the “Work from Home” model for many years and has extensive knowledge in technologies to link “Work from Home” possible with productivity and security in mind through IT Support and IT Services.

In this time of pandemic, cloud migration has become an essential part of running a business. Since going out has become a restricted so as to prevent the spread of the virus, people are obliged to stay at their homes, to the point that they are encourage to continue working from homes. With that, cloud migration has been implemented by IT Services company.
But what is Cloud Migration and why it’s important?
Cloud Migration is the task of moving physical servers at the primary office location to a hybrid cloud so applications and data can be accessed effortlessly from anywhere even at home.
As time goes by, Security is more essential to any business since employees are working from home and not under the shield of the local office Firewall and other security appliances. Every business needs to connect to its clients at one point or another. Hosted PBX (VoIP) are phones that can be used either in the office or your home. An employee can have a phone at the office, another phone at his or her home. Depending on the employee’s physical location, he or she can pick up the incoming call on either place and even on their mobile phone in case they are not near their assigned company phones.
Since the employees are working from home, the employer needs to know if the employees are working on assigned projects and are productive. Monitoring tools enable a company to have full visibility of an employee’s productivity and how they use their time while they are working on assigned tasks.
“Work from Home” has forced many companies to think twice about continuing to lease expensive commercial real estate if the concept of working from home was a success. Companies also find that some of their employees are a real asset, but once they are among peers in an office space, they may not function as well due to many factors that depend on the individual or company policies. Yet, that employee is at his or her best if it is working from home. Covid-19 also pushed many companies that were thinking about moving their business model to their home if it works.

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
