Collaborate in the cloud-why don't you do it?

Absrtact: Cloud computing and collaboration are a perfect match, but someone must forget to pay the matchmaker because the Union is getting better at its time. Powerful web-based collaboration tools such as share point have been around for about 10 years, but many organizations still cling to what is comfortable and rely entirely on e-mail.

E-mail is the knowledge worker goes to the collaboration tool, although it is just a cloud piece of what can be an efficient overall strategy. So why is email still the main means of cooperation? Here are four main reasons: 1 It's convenient, 2 it's easy, 3 everyone uses it-all the time-4) It's still valid.

If you do not take the available cloud collaboration tools, you may limit the advantages, such as: Only one person can be in any given file at a time version, or end multiple versions of conflict. In tightly regulated industries, these conflicting versions can bring beyond simply deciding which versions of files should actually work.

At the same time, shuffle files (or presentations, videos, etc.) to disrupt productivity back and forth. This sharing means that the necessary workflow is certain and allows only one style of work. People must work in isolation, in order. I think your team can surround people in someone else's room with desktop computers, but this is not a distraction.

And the rise of cloud computing is fundamentally changing cooperation. Like the basic tools of Outlook and Word, into cloud-based tools. cloud-based collaboration means the initial entry threshold of cooperation, such as the initial investment in infrastructure is expensive and many have been removed. Instead, it can be paid with you, to use and enable workers to continue to use the tools they have already used only to add to the cloud-based features.

A powerful platform is the same as SharePoint features more powerful orders in order of magnitude when linked to the cloud. Partners and contractors can be rolled into project workflow easier, more control and reduce risk. Remote and branch offices no longer feel like they are disconnected from Headquarters because they have the same access at the same time as the same tool.

Of course, these benefits are tiered to the top of the heavy cost savings and cloud computing.

Natural changes in collaboration

For years, what outlook and Exchange meant when we talked about our online collaborative conversations. Now, it is important to have many factors in Im,facebook,linkedin and other new forms of communication.

Oh, don't forget to move.

In the past, email was not a moving tool. Workers can only be used to access the corporate world view and to the actual office PC listing. Remote access allows VPN to go into the corporate network to synchronize workers with a computer at home or a foreign exchange account on a journey. The remote experience is tethered to the computer, though.

Now, email can be used by any browser and mobile app to make smart phones and emails almost synonymous. This brings us back to where we started: e-mail is the de facto mobile collaboration tool, because its various devices are accessed. Many other collaboration tools are not, but just as email migrates to the cloud and hopefully will work together.

In the "Application" model with the smart phone experts drooling is actually just a small package cloud model. With the release of the traditional application server environment, the CLOUD-BASED collaboration platform makes it easier to launch the version of the enterprise Application Mobile application, as well as to hook up all kinds of social networks.

When "cloud" and "move" are compared, however, professional worriers are automatically ejected securely.

Fair. Security is a serious concern in any computing environment, although its development and cloud and mobile computing improvements are far from being resolved. Mobile e-mail security can be said to be the leading device and the security of the cloud. With this Exchange Active Sync protocol, smartphone emails can be almost as secure as email on PCs.

Even with the cloud, security can become one of its main advantages-further enhancements to mobile security will almost certainly be carried on the cloud.

After all, what is more secure in laptops and smartphones that can easily be lost or stolen, or placed in the back of the security of a few layers of sensitive files to store confidential documents?

What is the risk of more files being transmitted via email, or files in the cloud, with access rights, roles and privileges on top of it complete?

This is a security threat that users have uploaded on the road to access a network mail account or a similar Dropbox service document, or a document in the cloud, via a smartphone, but it does not allow you to download and store a smartphone that accesses multiple data?

Employees who dodge corporate control are usually just trying to become productive. In the process, however, they tend to be in dangerous groups. A recent study by the Ponemon Institute found that the cost of losing laptops is more than $2.1 billion trillion dollars a year, 6.4% of the organization million dollars. Of course, the loss of hardware prices is the smallest cost, and the cost of mandatory compliance with lost IP and data destruction reporting is greatest.

Even CIOs who are still cloud vigilant should include cloud-based collaboration. This is a low-risk, highly rewarding way to test the driver of this new computational method. This leads to the problem: if cloud based collaboration is not in your to-do list, why not top?
