Eliminating Business Roadblocks with Cloud Management

When it comes to project completion, the best laid plans of mice (or trackpads) and men often go astray.  Roadblocks seem to appear at every turn, often the result of the lack of time/opportunity to collaborate, limits on the ability to share information or the combination of both.  The logistics involved in working on a project can be as complicated as the logistics of the project itself.  Cloud management, however, will not only help you navigate over and around the obstacles that are placed in your way, it will save your organization time, money and the administrative burden of coordinating schedules over time and distance to ensure everyone can be together at the same place and at the same time.

With cloud management, the location of project participants becomes irrelevant.  All individuals with login information can access the files and information you’ve uploaded to the cloud, regardless of where they might be.  If the team you have working on a project reaches a standstill or encounters a problem it can’t solve, you can easily expand the size of the team via cloudsourcing, which is simply crowdsourcing conducted over the internet by sharing files, thereby expanding the reach and scope of access to the project.

Cloudsourcing not only facilitates completion of a project, it also provides management the opportunity to employ creative methods for how a project is completed.  For example, because online access affords a much larger group of people the ability to participate in the project while communicating with each other, the team as a whole benefits from the broad range of experience and viewpoints that online collaboration offers.  Why not set up a contest that rewards the person or group that creates the most effective solution or final product, either financially, via some perk or simply through company-wide recognition?

Cloud-based collaborative efforts are becoming increasingly popular as companies begin to fully appreciate their effectiveness in overcoming project roadblocks that had previously been left to just the individuals onsite to solve.  Cloudsourcing offers a new way of getting things done.  It allows an organization to engage as many people as it wants to address a problem or work on a project in real time and without regard for where they may be situated.  Providing broad cloud-based access while eliminating proximity as a factor provides the best opportunity to negotiate project roadblocks and get the results you need.
