Telecommuting
Cloud computing makes telecommuting a breeze. Since the files are accessed remotely, multiple employees can work on a project simultaneously. It also increases productivity, since the employees can work from anywhere, whether they have an idea while eating dinner or want to make a quick edit before bed. Employee retention will be extremely high since relocating has no impact on the employee’s ability to do work.
BYOD
BYOD, or Bring Your Own Device, is a policy that many companies are adopting. This policy allows employees to bring their own smartphones or tablets to work and use them in place of company mandated devices. This saves your company a ton of money since you won’t need to buy devices in bulk, activate them and get them activated. You’ll also save a lot of time because you won’t have to train your employees on how to use these devices since they’ll already be familiar with them.
Convenient Access to Documents
As mentioned in the previous paragraph, the data is stored remotely. This means that employees can access the files, on any device, from anywhere. This makes it extremely convenient to either outsource work or hire employees that may not be local to the office.
Cloud Computing Decreases Cost
Not having to worry about storage is a definite plus to cloud storage, but it’s also a huge plus to your company’s budget. You don’t have to worry about software or hardware upgrades, either. With cloud storage, everything is taken care of.
