Using cloud and traditional systems togther

Using cloud and traditional systems togther

1. Synchronising content over devices

   • Sometimes applications and files are located on an organisation's own systems or user's PC, or they could be in the cloud. Most organisations and individuals use a combination of both. When you are using a combination of both, synchronising is particularly important.

2. Online/offline working

   • Laptops are often issued to staff who work from remote location, such as their own homes, at a customer's premises or when travelling. This allows them to access an organisation's systems while they are away from their normal business location (off-site).

3. Communications that may need to be shared include:

   • A new order processed by sales staff.
   • Information about work done by an engineer for a customer so that an invoice can be raised
   • A technical manual for a device or installation to help a computer engineer with a repair

4. Managing notifications

   • The Windows 10 operating system has a Sync Centre with settings that allow users sync files between devices. Users can set preferences (such as how often syncs should take place)
