Cloud collaboration allows organizations to work together effectively across geographic boundaries and various devices. It provides access to shared documents and communication tools from any internet-connected device. This overcomes challenges of past collaboration methods that required in-person meetings or access to local networks. Cloud services like Office 365 have given small businesses cost-effective ways to transition communication tools like email to the cloud, saving costs while reducing IT risks. The cloud facilitates collaboration by combining remote data access through cloud computing with new ways for employees to interact virtually.
