Not on site no. We migrated to the cloud about a year ago, and our user's simply connect to the interweb servers via their locally run Outlook. We'd had too many issues with local server and connection downtime, plus issues with smartphone use that the cloud made sense especially when you could so easily log in from any remote location even if our own stuff was a problem. The cloud system also removes a big headache of local backups.
We don't do much remote or home working, but for those that do I am able to congure our network to give remote login to file shares on the server. The ADSL has static IPs, so dynamic IP on the cable isn't really an issue, especially since they are so sticky.
We do have some 20 users, and internet activity is critical to the business. Originally the VM cable was put in as a backup to the ADSL. Now it's reversing as Cable is offering the faster, more stable speeds than ADSL.
