The cloud is nice, but don't forget collaboration
While the cloud makes collaboration easier, it's ultimately useless if users are not aware of what one another are doing, and when they are doing it.
Cloud computing is the topic of conversation all over the market, with more and more companies and government agencies making the big switch, but with such popularity comes a risk of missing the point: the challenges of managing and collaborating on files are not automatically solved by moving to the cloud, said Gigaom.com.
Workers operating within a cloud infrastructure need to be doing so in real time; otherwise, the cloud isn’t really anything special. Because there is a stress on being able to work with the cloud in real time, Bluebeam Software has developed a PDF-based markup and collaboration solution called Revu, Gigaom.com said.
