Headed OOO? Here’s How to Keep Your Business Running While You’re Away

Protect Your Peace — and Your Network

Summer’s here and so is vacation season. Whether you’re hitting the beach or just unplugging for a few days, your business still needs to run smoothly in your absence. Luckily, it can.

Here are 5 ways to keep things on track while you’re OOO:

  1. Set Up Delegated Access – Make sure your email, calendar, and key documents can be accessed by a trusted team member.
  2. Use a Secure VPN – If you need to check in remotely, do it safely.
  3. Prep Your Team – Review escalation paths and let them know Vintage is just a call away.
  4. Patch Before You Go – Ensure updates and software patches are handled ahead of time.
  5. Set Expectations – Use automated email responses to communicate availability.

A little preparation goes a long way when it comes to protecting your business and your peace of mind. Think of it like setting your home alarm system before leaving for vacation. When your IT is proactively managed, you can trust that everything back at the office is secure, supported, and running as expected.

With Vintage IT Services, our 24/7 monitoring and remote management tools ensure we can detect and resolve issues before they become business interruptions. And if anything does come up, our team is here to support your staff with fast, reliable helpdesk response times and on-demand troubleshooting.

So go ahead—take that trip, unplug, and reset. We’ll keep an eye on everything until you get back.
