Selling Functionality of Cloud Computing to Bring Mobile Devices into the Workplace
January 1, 2012
The link between mobile devices and corporate networks has largely been a neglected mechanism in the construction of corporate communication data distribution and access, and is an area for considerable growth and development. "Cloud computing has been a natural extension for consumer devices due to the relative ease of access allowed in Public and Private Cloud infrastructure," says Greg Pierce, Managing Director of Cloud Computing at Tribridge.
The debate being in allow-ability, accessibility and user controls. Says Mr. Pierce, "It’s become increasingly difficult to handle the number and range of devices for end users, with the typical worker often having three devices: laptop, iPad, and smartphone. With the launch of Windows 8, Microsoft is looking to change the way workers access enterprise data."…
The developer edition of Windows 8 was released last September, and with the full-featured tablet available next year, it promises to speed up the integration of cloud functionality for mobile communication and cloud accessibility. It seems, with the introduction of Windows 8 and the feature-rich tablet platform, users will have immediate cloud accessibility and interop-ability between applications, a host of functionality built to replace inferior applications and redundancy in resources. While tablets, PC’s and other applicable portable device connections present a "user-endpoint" opening, the Windows 8 platform is designed to consolidate these opportunities, defining a more secure, better and more operational experience.
