Hook, Line & Sinker: Who REALLY Controls Your Cloud Data?
February, 2020
The growth of cloud computing means we are increasingly trusting our corporate business systems and associated data to third-party providers.
When it works, we can concentrate on running our core business rather than wasting time on infrastructure maintenance. After all, support of server hardware, upgrades to software and technical fixes all cost time and money.
But when it goes wrong, or licensing costs increase, or a business wants to transition to a new software as a service (SaaS) provider, does your business really control its own data? What happens if our cloud solution is down for 1 day, or worse still a full week, will your business still function. Worse still, if there’s a data breach, do you really know where is your IP held?
Companies are now waking up to the need to hold their transactional documents and IP, within an independent document management repository, which is under their control and not fundamentally tied to a cloud service. This hybrid approach recognises the flexibility of Cloud platforms but provides total data ownership and control.
A corporate document management system addresses the following issues:
- Provide a single source of truth (SSOT) in your organisation
- Store documents and data, independent of their parent host
- Apply robust security protocols across companywide data
- Allow meta-tagging of information for fast retrieval and compliance
- Electronically sign and workflow approve documents
- Eliminate environmentally unfriendly paper records
infoRouter document management software (DMS) can be installed in hours and gives you back control of your corporate information.
