A CLOUD-BASED COLLABORATION SERVICE MAKES BUSINESS SIMPLE

The era of globalization and digitalization impels businesses to move beyond basic “le sync-and-share” solutions. The urge to drive productive collaboration and flexibility necessitates organizations to empower their employees with round-the-clock access to business data, software systems and processes.

Another work model that emphasizes on the need for flexibility and is being used across industries is the ‘Results Only Work Environment’ (ROWE). Cali Ressler and Jody Thompson conceptualized and published it in the book ‘Why Work Sucks and How to Fix It’. According to ROWE, team members should be evaluated for their performance, productivity and results instead of the number of hours they spend working in the office.

To drive flexibility, some businesses also implement time-agnostic work patterns (instead of traditional nine to-five culture) where workers can follow their own schedules to complete assignments. And it helps them to retain loyal teams that are productive and goaloriented. According to a report, around 58 per cent of office goers in India work remotely at least once a week. This agility is essential in an age when customers expect fast and efficient solutions even as the size and scope of projects continually grow. And the key to effectively working with such a remote and mobile workforce is seamless communication.

Collaboration has long been a trait of successful and high-performing organizations. With their customers, partners and stakeholders across the globe, organizations also communicate across geographies. They may have hired the services of talented contract/gig workers based in international locations. They need a suite of integrated digital collaboration services that is also secure and well-controlled to stay connected with such entities and accelerate everyday tasks. This is where cloud technology helps.

When teams shatter the glass walls, they are mobilized to build quality products and services to impress clients and perform well in the market. With more ideas about how to join forces and use each other’s skills positively, collaboration is becoming increasingly significant for workplaces around the world.?
