Tips to protect data"},"content":{"rendered":"
Today\u2019s tools for business are a far cry from the days when a desk phone and PC were standard small business office equipment. With a desire to be always on, most workers, whether they bring their own mobile devices (BYOD) or use ones provisioned by the company, work from a desktop or laptop, smartphone and possibly a tablet to conduct business throughout the workday.<\/p>\n Why so many devices to get work done? \u00a0ITProPortal.com, a leading UK source of technology, indicates<\/a> a global survey found that workers believe using a range of devices makes them more productive, connected and able to respond more quickly to changing events. As an example, if someone is working on a laptop and an email comes in needing an urgent reply; the person can make a call over a smartphone, using a headset<\/a> to cancel out background noise, versus a softphone in order to avoid interrupting the workflow.<\/p>\n And the rule is not one device per task, either. \u00a0ITProPortal.com points out that workers often start one activity and finish it on another. This is especially true of smartphones. When workers start activities on a smartphone, they often finish them on a laptop at some point.\u00a0 Cloud storage makes this possible by enabling employees to access information wherever they are over their preferred device.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
