Team Collaboration solutions allow you to connect your teammates from anywhere. With the right integrations you can implement virtual whiteboards, meeting spaces, and team chats to keep operations running smoothly. 

There are various factors to consider when selecting the right team collaboration solution for your business. Ask yourself if the solution integrates with your existing tools, can launch meetings from any device and location, and of course is completely secure from would-be meeting crashers. Check out our blog for more details. 

We work with top-tier partners for both cloud-based and on-prem virtual meetings. A key consideration is regulatory or company policy regarding the location and control of your meeting data. Even if your data must reside in a specific region or country, most leading conferencing solutions can now accommodate this requirement.

You should also consider your IT capabilities. Do you have the skills, manpower, and desire to support an on-premise collaboration infrastructure, or would you rather have the vendor handle it?

There are many other things to consider before making a choice and our team can help you navigate them. We don't believe one approach is better than another. Rather, we believe in an “Any Prem” approach and have worked with various organizations that chose a hybrid path, keeping some operations on-prem and others in the cloud. 

Often we see misinformation or “fear of the unknown” with transitioning to the cloud. Organizations that are comfortable with their on-prem approach worry about the security of a cloud transition. While their security approach would need to accommodate a cloud-based infrastructure, it can certainly be secured.

There are many ways to secure your team when they are working remotely. One of the main ways it to improve your security with endpoint protection. We're big fans of Varonis Edge and Cisco Umbrella + Amp as well as BloxOne™ Threat Defense from Infoblox. You should also ensure your team has reliable and secure network connections where you control the network. We’ve deployed secure wireless for remote workers, VPNs, SD-WAN, and Office Extend just to name a few.

Most importantly, we recommend every organization invest in security awareness training for their users. This will educate your team on the latest cyber threats and help make them the first line of defense...it's best ROI.
