Document Management in the Cloud

Well, I did not know that there was something called “National Telework Week”, but here’s an article from Ideal.com that mentions that and talks about document management in the Cloud. (I’d be willing to bet that most government employees who stay home to “telework” are going to spend more time watching TV than working on real work.)

Online Document Management and the Virtual Office

Posted by Diane Mitol on Tue, Mar 06, 2012 @ 04:25 PM

It’s National Telework Week this week. This marks the yearly initiative to encourage government and industry to pledge to save money and the environment by cutting the daily work commute. So, get out your slippers, grab your cup of coffee, and let’s telework!

While the Federal government touts telework as a way to cut costs, reduce office space and promote a healthier work-life balance, a substantial number of feds don’t telework, something that recently prompted a blog on GovLoop titled "Why the Heck Aren’t You Teleworking Yet?”

The good news is that technology is no longer the limiter to increased telework. Today’s technology provides both government agencies and private industry with reliable, responsive and secure ways for remote workers to do their jobs from home.

One of the first steps to a reliable telework system is to establish an online document management system. We recommend starting your online document management system with a Cloud provider who can provide a browser-based virtual office that allows you to share files and collaborate over the internet with clients, vendors and employees through any internet browser. The ideal Cloud provider will also offer the ability to upload, download, browse, search, index, categorize, version, approve, track and discuss documents.

Plan ahead for any additional requirements you may need in the future, like work-flow management, audit trails or certification so that once you get started you can simply scale-up the features that you need. Remember one of the advantages of the Cloud is that there is no document management software to buy, download, install, or maintain as the SaaS/Cloud is subscription service that is delivered entirely through a web browser.

So, have another cup of coffee, and let’s telework!

Document Management in the Cloud - What You Need to Know About Cloud Computing Security

I found this article on Ideal's site, this past weekend:

Document Management in the Cloud

What You Need to Know About Cloud Computing Security

Posted by Diane Mitol on Mon, Oct 24, 2011 @ 01:20 PM

Cloud computing is fraught with security risks, according to analyst firm Gartner. Smart customers will ask tough questions and consider getting a security assessment from a neutral third party before committing to a cloud vendor, Gartner says.

Customers must demand transparency, avoiding vendors that refuse to provide detailed information on security programs. How secure is your cloud? Here are three questions you should ask:

1. Does it meet industry and government security requirements for integrity, regulatory data and privacy?

2. Is the data co-located, backed-up and encrypted?

3. Is the system hacker-proof?
