Among the companies’ assets data represents a specific and invaluable material. With the growing trend of remote working and real-time collaboration, secure data storage faces complex challenges. Data needs to be accessible and sharable by multiple stakeholders, both onsite and remotely. Besides as companies work with bigger files as ever, the use of regular attachments is getting obsolete. Cloud storage is an obvious answer, but without proper planning and introduction to colleagues it can’t be effectively involved into everyday operation.

Implementing an intelligent files app like OneDrive for Business makes file sharing and collaboration seamless and reliable while protecting data. Moreover, a complex yet easy-to-use solution provides convenience and additional benefits to businesses.

Dedicated and protected

Whether colleagues are familiar with cloud storage or use them in their personal life, the company can only eliminate Shadow IT entirely if it offers a supported, secure platform for file sharing and real-time collaboration. The key is to make the benefits visible to all employees and provide guidance and trainings on the usage. The possibilities of customization make OneDrive for Business beneficial to every business irrespectively of their size or operation. Even if it is a simple task like sharing a Word document a variety of protective measures can be applied, from restricting the download or print screens to allow editing.

Flexibility in every part

Access on the go is not an extra requirement anymore. Files needs to be created, viewed, edited and shared remotely and even on the go to exploit untethered mobility. Therefore, access from web browser, mobile app, PC and Mac with robust sync options is guaranteed. Collaborators also have the option to check or edit the document online only, there is no need to download a file to a particular PC.

However, with OneDrive for Business the flexibility doesn’t end there. The solution can be further sophisticated by granting different types of accesses based on the actual business processes adding an extra layer of security.
