Summer is just around the corner, which means summer holidays are as well. This is the time of year when your team is the most spread out, with vacations happening one after the other, taking employees out of the office, out-of-town, and even out of the country. However, just because you’re taking some time off, that doesn’t mean life back at home is on pause while you work on your tan.
Emergencies happen, especially when multiple team members are unreachable for days at a time. But the good news? Thanks to the cloud, an emergency doesn’t have to cut your trip short anymore. All you need is a laptop, tablet, or smartphone and an Internet connection, and you can take care of business from anywhere. Working on the go from any corner of the globe has never been easier.
That might mean hopping onto a conference call before you pop out of the hotel for dinner, answering emails at a chic European sidewalk café, or collaborating with a coworker back at the office from a lounger by the poolside. With the right technology in place, you can complete any task required of you without having to change out of your flip-flops.
Of course, this requires having a reliable, secure, and accessible cloud solution in place to manage and store important data and applications. By moving your business infrastructure to a cloud-based platform, working from the beach is no different than working from your desk – one just has a much better view.
We all know that in a perfect world our vacation would involve nothing but fun and relaxation – but we also know that in the back of your mind, you can’t help but wonder how many fires you’ll need to put out once you head back to your normal routine. Having the ability to periodically check your email gives you a little peace of mind, and makes enjoying yourself so much easier.
And really, at the end of the day, what’s more fun? A week or two spent disconnected from the office with no idea what might be happening in your absence, or the look on your coworkers’ faces when you join in on a video conference from your hotel balcony?
