The COVID-19 pandemic forced the companies to be flexible and able to adapt to sudden changes. One of the challenges is how to maintain Productivity and connectivity with the remote workforce.
No matter where your workforce is, to stay engaged and productive the staff needs access to the information to perform their tasks.
Cloud Computing comes to mind immediately for remote users’ data and application needs.
The advantages are: Flexibility, Security, and Scalability.
Flexibility
The workforce interface daily with their Emails, Calendars, and Files. When placing it in the cloud, it allows the remote workers to pick up where they left off, in any location, and on any device.
Security
Within mind, Common Cloud threats are Data Breach and Data Leaks. Start from choosing a trusted cloud provider with robust security protocols, such as Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), VPN, Encryption, partnering with the cloud providers to deploy the cloud Cybersecurity protections across company devices and users. A comprehensive security policy not only keeps cloud data safer in remote locations but also helps to protect endpoint devices and users from cyber-attacks.
Scalability
A good reason for choosing Cloud computing is subscribers only pay for what their business uses. One can increase or decrease the cloud usage when one needs to.
Another connectivity and productivity tool that comes to mind is a MEETING TOOL.
There are a few top products: Zoom, GoToMeeting, Join.Me, Webex Meetings, and Microsoft Teams. These products are similar, and they all provide High-Quality Audio & Video, Screen Sharing, Easy-to-Use Interface, Chat, Meeting Recording, operates from simple Video Conference to Webcasting. Costs are about the same, but if you use Microsoft 365, then why not stay with Microsoft Teams for meeting and Microsoft Azure for Cloud Computing.
Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing service. It is used to store data, operate IT applications, and manage company resources like user directories, login credentials, and data access policies in the cloud.
Microsoft Teams comes with your Microsoft 365 Business subscription, and it is free even if you do not subscribe to Microsoft 365.
