This week in London transport workers decided to strike. The famous "tube" has ground to a halt and those famous double decker buses are sitting parked. In London, like many big cities around the world, workers rely heavily on public transit to get to work.
What’s happening to the businesses that employ those workers? How much revenue and productivity has been lost?
Today, London. Tomorrow… New York? Next week… Minneapolis? If you’re responsible for IT, you have to consider the worst-case scenario.
The cloud is built for worker mobility
On-premises systems for email, file storage and worker collaboration create vulnerabilities. With these systems, you could face big productivity losses if a major emergency like a transportation strike prevents your workers from coming into the office. That’s because workers won’t be able to do much work when they’re stuck at home without easy access to their data and the ability to collaborate with their co-workers.
One of the key benefits of the cloud is that it enables a mobile work environment. That’s why nology networks encourages companies to move their email, file storage, line of business applications, and collaboration systems to the cloud. All they need is a web browser or a mobile app to immediately access their emails, important documents, instant messaging, CRM, accounting systems, and more...
Don't let work grind to a halt just because public transport does...Business is better in the cloud.
