As people and businesses around the world respond to the Covid-19 pandemic declared by the World Health Organization (WHO) and U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC) advice, we want to let you know how Data Access Worldwide is responding and what you can expect from us during this unusual, global emergency.
With us, it all starts with people – taking care of our team and you, our valued customer.
- Our offices in the U.S., The Netherlands and Brazil have all activated work-from-home protocols to minimize our teams’ risk of exposure to others who may have contracted Covid-19. If is it determined that any of us are infected, working from our homes does not expose anyone else to the disease. In-office activity in Miami, Hengelo and Sao Paulo is limited solely to high priorities that cannot be handled remotely.
- All current business meetings and travel, including the upcoming EDUC conference in Iceland, have been cancelled. An alternative “virtual EDUC” is being launched. See this News article for full details about how you can now join the virtual event and training on-line from the comfort and security of your home or office anywhere in the world.
- Until advice about reducing group interactions is changed, we will conduct business meetings via conference calls and on-line resources instead of in-person.
While there will be impacts of working from our homes, our goal is to provide you with as much operational transparency as possible in the current conditions.

- The Data Access support forums will operate normally.
