Have you ever had to collaborate with clients when progress was delayed because someone either didn’t get an email or didn’t get back soon enough? While email, file sharing and conference calls may be very familiar and comfortable, there are actually much more effective ways to engage team collaboration that are safer and more efficient than many conventional methods—email, VPN (Virtual Private Network) or Dropbox (just to name a few).
Indeed, cloud technologies and collaboration are a match made in cyber-heaven. Here, I outline how you could be working with cloud collaboration rather than your normal routine: huddled around a desktop PC in someone’s cubicle, shuffling documents between offices, back and forth phone and emails (choose your own misadventure) that undermine yours and your employees’ productivity.
You without cloud-based tools—Only one person could work on any given version of a document at once. You end up with multiple, conflicting versions. It’s hard to figure out when, where and what to work on.
But let’s not dwell on these miserable memories and talk about your much-improved future working self.
The rise of cloud computing has fundamentally changed collaboration. Tools you are already familiar with—Microsoft Word and Outlook— have transformed into cloud-based options. You can now work on the same document as someone else without worrying about conflicting versions and waiting for others to finish their piece before you start working on yours.
And best of all, your data and ideas are secure and safe in a stable, backed-up cloud environment. Where it won’t matter that your company’s power is out and you can’t access the power point that you’re supposed to present early tomorrow morning in front of some very important people. Or that you can’t download the attachment Jim just sent in an email.
You have the cloud backing you up—something that never will quit on you, never will forget to hand something off, resilient to all sorts of computer problems.
You might ask, how can I access this “cloud”?
I must confess, there are many solutions out in tech land, and some of them offer very good services, but then there are many that aren’t—unreliable, untrustworthy and inconsistent. Too many people advertising the same things, but are they all really the same? Because I don’t trust your personal data and vital day-to-day operations in the hands of complete strangers, Dynamic Edge has developed a state-of-the-art cloud-based solution that is backed by people you trust and have grown and are committed to growing with your business.
