Therefore, employees would not have to compromise with their time or productivity.

Cloud

The cloud offers flexible storage space as well as payment plans. It is also located off-site, which ensures improved security from natural disasters. Cloud enables a business to access its data from anywhere. This allows employees to work remotely even after a disaster. Thus, companies can continue their business operations without much hustle.

Social

Industries worldwide are striving to utilize social media to drive benefit. Social media can be used for marketing, communications, customer service, and more. In that case, it is crucial to back up this data, for both compliance and operational needs.
