Cloud under your control
Business cloud and file sharing
Convenient access to files does not have to mean losing control over data. A web and mobile environment for sharing, collaboration and document work can be integrated with existing accounts, permissions and storage.
Access from anywhere without another data island
A cloud should make work easier, not create a second copy of data and another set of accounts. Integration with current storage, clear file ownership, secure external sharing and the ability to restore an older or accidentally deleted version are therefore essential.
What I can cover
- Web, desktop and mobile access to documents
- Internal sharing and controlled collaboration with clients, partners or contractors
- Integration with existing user accounts, groups and network storage
- Versioning, recycle bin, change audit and expiring shared links
- Online document editing and multi-user collaboration
- Backups, updates, monitoring and secure publication of the service
When a private cloud helps
- Files are sent by e-mail and several conflicting versions are created
- People need secure access from notebooks, phones or outside the office
- External sharing relies on personal accounts outside organizational control
- Cloud convenience must be connected to data stored on an existing server
Data rules first, application second
Before deployment, it is useful to decide which data should be available remotely, who may share it and how long versions should be retained. This determines storage, authentication, backup and external access design.
The platform can run independently or use existing data and accounts. The important point is that users do not have to maintain several separate copies of the same content.
Outcome
Users gain convenient access and sharing, while administrators retain control over accounts, permissions and data. Documents remain part of a managed environment that can be backed up and recovered.
