Lately, there is a growing trend in companies shifting the structure of their IT to shared networks. “The cloud,” or on-demand access to a shared pool of resources offers quicker, more convenient access, decreased costs and increased collaboration and integration across industries. As we saw in Chapter 6 of our text, the increased demand and usage of mobile devices will result in an even deeper need for wireless networks and collaboration.
Now, companies of all sizes need to increase their cloud computing in order to contend or keep up with competition. Increased collaboration with vendors and suppliers, and better managed customer relations are just two positive results of a properly implemented cloud-based or mobile business plan.
Blogs, desktop sharing, wikis, podcasts, web conferencing are just a few tools that can increase collaboration in the workplace. Though there are many benefits of the abovementioned collaboration tools, there are also risks associated with a shift to a more wireless-centric business plan. As always, security is more important than ever before as accessibility is at our fingertips.
