Collaboration and Mobility in Cloud

Breaking all the taboos and fears, let me induce clarity in people’s thoughts so that they cease to think data stored in the cloud is not safe. Nowadays, everything is monitored and analyzed through data,  so keeping the data in the clouds allows us to access the data in a go. Gone are the days where people can still say no to work or delay business continuity due to lack of access to the requisite information as we are gradually shifting to cloud infrastructure, where it gives us the advantage of accessing any information anytime, from anywhere using any device.

When we introduced cloud technology it has taken the whole IT world by storm in the last several years (no pun intended). And the biggest advantage in shifting to the clouds is the humongous mobility that cloud computing provides. We may not realize how cloud mobility can change our approach to work.

Keeping this in mind let’s look at the 5 key benefits in adopting cloud mobility in business:

A better Connectivity: 

One of the major benefits of cloud mobility is connecting better with many people and getting access to correct information. This technology allows people to access their indispensable data anywhere and anytime.

When you use G Suite, you have Google drive in which any document can be stored, by providing access to people in need.

The superior work-life balance of an employee: 

The increase in connectivity has helped a lot of employees in managing their work with greater efficiency. After normal working hours also they are able to stay connected, access the required data and complete their tasks at the comfort of home.

Automatic updates: 

When you use any software, it is necessary to receive timely updates for bug/issue resolution. If you are using cloud-based platform or application, you receive real-time updates and you don’t even get the feel of it, it's all background processes handling the online updates. A classic example is G Suite, wherein all your resources work on the latest at all times.

Ease of BYOD: 

Another benefit of cloud mobility is bringing your own device in which people can manage their work through any medium.

Work through a tablet for a presentation, edit documents at the 9th hour, this helps in managing cost effectively as employees use their own computers and other devices. It is a cost saving methodology for the enterprise.

Security: 

The security in cloud infrastructure stands on these 3 pillars i.e confidentiality, accessibility, integrity.

1. Confidentiality: It is a property in which the data is not available to any person except the owner due to which it gets more secure.

2. Accessibility: Here the owner can allow or manage the people who are accessing his data by granting them the access. Particularly in G Suite, you have 3 options i.e can view, can comment, can edit.

3. Integrity: It demands maintaining and assuring the accuracy that the data is complete. This promises the data is not tampered illegally, modified improperly, deleted deliberately, or fabricated maliciously. And if there is any malicious activity taking place, the user gets informed, is able to detect the loss and recover it.
