How cloud and remote storage and backup can improve your health!
This is, of course, not an official medical claim. However, using these services in an effective way should help reduce your team’s blood pressure and stress levels, avoid panic attacks and lead to a more relaxed business attitude. Simply put, the benefits of cloud storage and remote backup come to the fore when those awkward, stress-inducing moments arise.
If you have ever worked in a business where, on arrival one morning, you have discovered there has been an internal fire or damage caused by flooding from a burst pipe, you’ll know how distressing and unsettling this can be. One of the major tasks is to discover if damage has been caused to equipment and because of that whether vital data has been lost. In a strictly localised incident, your onsite backup may be a lifesaver. However, for more serious events, the peace of mind generated by knowing your key files and information documents are securely maintained in an off-site (or even off-world) location, means there is one less anxiety to fret over.
Another likely business scenario: team members are regularly calling on clients, either in your local area or after travelling nationally or even internationally. These meetings might discuss sales proposals, assessing marketing and statistical information, or present draft plans for a vital project. Imagine if, on arrival, an individual discovers that their laptop has suffered a malfunction, and vital meeting information has been lost. Instead of a massed panic both at base and where they are, followed by desperate attempts to deliver the information to them in some way, the relevant detail can simply be picked up from the remote backup of your cloud storage.
A third way that this process aids peace of mind is when files need to be accessed by a range of company members in a series of different offices and locations. If important changes are made only on one computer or in a single location, then others might now be using outdated information in the copy of the document they hold. Stress-causing confusion can easily follow, but not if each amendment is saved to the cloud storage location and every person has instant access to the very latest version of the file.
Each of the above scenarios demonstrates how an investment in cloud storage and remote back up helps people to function increasingly effectively and in a more relaxed environment. Next patient please!
