Collaborating in the Cloud

One of the main benefits of the cloud is the ability to access your work from anywhere, which then leads to increased collaboration. It can be frustrating to keep sending email attachments of various versions, all that include new comments and changes. Trying to pull the most up-to-date version can become a process, but cloud computing can help aid this.

An efficient cloud-based collaboration and content management tool is Microsoft SharePoint 2010. It provides a central place for data storage, access, and management. SharePoint works very well with Microsoft Office too. SharePoint uses cloud infrastructure to provide users with access to centrally stored content, granted the user is connected to the Internet. This stored content includes Word, Web content, and multimedia.

The system offers simple methods for tagging content, enforcing retention schedules, declaring records, and applying legal holds. This is beneficial for businesses that are subject to regulatory compliance.

This is our final QuickTip on Cloud Computing and we hope you have found it informative.
