Why The Shift To Remote Work Is Increasing The Demand For Cloud-Based Data Backup And Protection

 This year, the way organizations work has radically changed. Employees suddenly working from home or remotely have provided them with unprecedented flexibility. Most organizations that have taken this path had few better options, but many were vulnerable and unprepared. This confluence of events has increased and protected the demand for Managed Cloud Services data like never before.

The number of employees using SaaS applications more and more or using them for the first time has increased dramatically.

  • 45% more use next-generation messaging and collaboration tools 
  • 52% more use online platforms for meetings and collaboration 
  • 32% more participate in online collaboration and document sharing 
  • 30% more are instant messaging 
  • 26% more use cloud-based office productivity apps 

This is the part where it scares IT professionals and their organizations. Many employees don't understand the impact of this global productivity shift on data protection. One in three believe that SaaS-based applications do not need to be protected. It should come as no surprise that one in three organizations lists accidental deletions as the leading cause of data loss in SaaS applications .

Office 365, G-Suite and Salesforce have changed the game for IT professionals

How does the new world of work from home work? By relying heavily on applications such as Office 365, G-Suite, and Salesforce. These next-generation document sharing tools, cloud-based productivity apps, and collaboration tools are critical, and protecting your data is critical. The need for clarity when implementing a SaaS data protection solution is more imperative than ever.

Your clients need a data recovery strategy. This means not only complete and reliable data backups, but also flexibility in recovery.

You want to avoid permanent data deletion. An overly realistic example is that many applications only allow items to be deleted for a limited number of days before they cannot be recovered. Your customers need more control over the data lifecycle.

They require extensive and easy-to-use functions. A solution is only truly scalable when backups, updates, and status alerts are automated and new users can be added with minimal steps.
