Anywhere. Anytime. With or without Internet. Mobility is an architecture, not a phone. One of the benefits of shifting your IT systems to the cloud is the enhanced mobility it offers. However, still many firms don’t realize how technology can change their approach to work.
Cloud hosting allows mobile access to your data through smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices. This is a great way to make sure that no user involved is being left out of the loop.
Team members can work from anywhere, 24/7, through any device, with or without an Internet connection. This is particularly important in an era when employees want flexibility in the work environment.
• Location is irrelevant – not only because you can access files remotely, but because you can work effectively.
• Device type is irrelevant – anything is now compatible.
• Internet – it is not always necessary, due to sophisticated local caching mechanisms. Sleeping on flights is now a waste of time.

Unlock the modern way to collaborate, share and co-author in real time. Because collaboration in the cloud is much more than having a protected environment where users can access, edit, and share the same document.
Modern Solutions offer an accessible, affordable, and customizable toolset for users to interact easily and for the business owners to be aware that everything is happening within an authorized system with proper controls given to the users.
With services in the cloud, your business can easily interact with customers and share data outside the traditional methods. If you have projects in different locations or have outsourced services, you can make use of cloud technology to provide users access to the same files.
Cloud services helps improve collaboration among team members by enabling:
• Synchronisation and offline access of files
• Version control
• Grouping of teams
• Chat during co-authoring
• Large storage
• Share files with stakeholders outside of your organization
• Private storage for individuals
• Access/edit audit logs
These vital features of cloud eliminate the time-consuming transition of files through emails. Moreover, there is no need to have many physical files in hand.
Remote access is almost always enabled for company resources, regardless if your servers are on-premise or in the cloud. The difference is that cloud computing adheres to better security practices. We believe the on-premise server in your office is not secured properly - physically or from the public Internet. We believe it because we have seen it too many times. As more and more companies are moving their IT to the cloud, the question of security becomes paramount. While opponents have their reasons to keep the debate about cloud security fuelled, SME’s should not ignore the number of benefits a cloud solution provide them.
With hosted services, there are multiple levels of control in network infrastructure which ensure complete data security. Let’s look at some of the key security benefits offered by moving to the cloud:
• Data Encryption: Encryption of data at rest and in transit has significantly reduced the possibility of data theft. As the data is transmitted to and from the cloud in an encrypted form, any attempt to tamper the data can be thwarted.
• Regulatory Compliance: Good cloud providers help firms by managing and maintaining better infrastructure for compliance. Compliance and security certifications make it easier for businesses to trust their cloud providers.
• Physical access: The office cupboard is the wrong place for critical company data storage servers.
• Round-the-clock-support: Most cloud providers offer 24/7 support, which includes continuous live monitoring. Redundancy ensures that your data is always available to access.
• Security as a Service: Cloud Providers and especially Microsoft Office 365 offer unique, security mechanisms which are designed to protect against internal or external security concerns. We are good at setting this up.
