Businesses, big and small are increasingly taking advantage of cloud-based collaboration. Simply because it proves to be the most effective and efficient way to bring diverse and dispersed teams together.

Whether you’re collaborating in real-time through online meetings or asynchronously through shared team workspaces, the anywhere-access of innovative cloud technologies provides immense benefits to businesses across industries.

Work experience has now entered a mobile revolution. This revolution has brought us the ubiquity of using the cloud across industries where mobile and handheld devices are prioritised over desktop and PC. This is a post-PC era where mobility and accessibility are paramount concerns.

In this article, docSAFE explores the many benefits that collaboration in the cloud could bring to your business and workforce.

The Benefits of Cloud-Based Collaboration

1. Accessibility

The cloud enables users to access files or data anywhere and anytime from multiple devices with internet access. This is most useful for businesses with people working remotely, from overseas and even across different time-zones. Because content is stored in the cloud, you can access it anytime you want and wherever you may be. Even if you lose or damage your device, your data is safe and secure.

Through the cloud, users can collaborate more frequently and efficiently.

2. Real-Time Updates

Employees can have a stress-free collaboration because the cloud automatically updates and syncs any changes in the documents or files. With cloud-based collaboration, they can avoid inconsistent content of a file or project due to multiple revisions and duplicates. And to check for update & revision history, no longer would they have to open a long trail of emails.

Also, you don’t have to worry about updating the features and tools because the vendor does this for you.

3. Improved Participation

Forbes Insights reported that 93% of business leaders who employ the cloud, believe that cloud collaboration stimulates innovation. As it eases up collaboration and creates connections, users are more empowered to collaborate with one another and thus developing innovative ideas is easily achievable.

4. Better Security

Data breaches due to lost devices account for 63% of all healthcare related data incidents from 2010-2014. With the use of cloud, this incident can never happen as files and data are not saved in the device. And if access control is stolen, you can easily disable other accounts by remotely accessing the data in the cloud or even entirely wiping out the data from the lost device. Security updates are also not a problem because of automatic system updates by the service provider.

5. Cost-Effective

Using cloud follows a pay-as-you-go pricing model wherein you are only charged for the actual services you utilised. Most importantly, cloud-based collaboration enables you to cut on various office overhead costs which makes it ideal for startups or small businesses.

With your business processes on the cloud, there’s no need to invest in on-premise software, system configuration and infrastructure installation.

6. Improve Business Results

About 64% of executives agree that cloud-based collaboration tools accelerate business results, a survey by Forbes and Cisco revealed. It’s no surprise since it improves participation of employees and thereby hastens the business process that definitely leads to achieving better results.
