6 | | AUGUST 2021The unprecedented impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has forced organisations to critically review their business continuity plans and make difficult, fast-paced decisions in order to support their workforce while also satisfying their customers. Many companies were stipulated to suddenly convert all the non-fundamental, on-site personnel into remote workers and find new innovative tools to maintain the level of collaboration they were used to when everyone was on site. That said, the emphasis on having the right cloud-based collaboration tool will allow employees to work remotely in an efficient fashion. However, the majority of companies still run on-premise server hardware. Even though the cloud is now mature, and despite the end of support threat, IT decision-makers still choose on-premises solutions to control security, which is not the most trustworthy approach.

Furthermore, the list of benefits of cloud computing includes simplified deployment and maintenance, 24/7 global accessibility, shared files and presentations automatically synced and available, increased mobility, and more.
