Collection: Remote Collaboration

The importance and issues of remote collaboration nowadays

The ability to organize remote work of employees is becoming an indispensable and necessary task for most modern companies of different sizes and industries. Correct organization of remote work allows companies to successfully compete for talent, hire employees in different cities and even countries, reduce office and travel costs, and ensure stable business development in any turbulent conditions.

However, with obvious advantages, remote work creates certain difficulties and risks, mainly associated with the need to protect corporate data, intellectual property, and communication channels. Lack of attention to these problems as well as inadequate measures of data protection and control can lead to serious problems and losses for any business.

Reality check with available market solutions

Can you be a Master of your Data when you are a customer of major global platforms for private/business communications and data exchange? Definitely not. These platforms are using centrally managed and shared hosting solutions for many customers and their data. All audio and video communications with friends, partner, colleagues, customers and more are routed via those platforms. You are never perfectly sure that no one else has access to this data and what they may do with it. Regrettably, this is all just a black box for you.

Protected against external threats?  The digital world is getting more insecure by the day. Cybercrime threats from all kinds of dubious sources are exploding. Of course, logging into your data with solely a password is looking for trouble. And using not secured communication solutions, like untrusted internet connections and public WiFi, could also mean serious problems.

How about your legal rights? Most service providers today are mainly taking care of the simplification of the user’s experience but lack to take responsibility for the protection of your data. That should not be a surprise, it’s all there in their unfairly unbalanced user agreements and policies.
