out of the office, whether
working at another site
within their company,

no matter where they are.
8. Although social networking is
often simply considered a way
to interact with one’s social

overlooked as a business tool.

electronic resources to the
Cloud
is fundamentally transforming
how daily business gets done.
12. The Cloud is not only being used to
virtualize IT systems and provide

encourage new practices such as
remote collaboration.
13. Thanks to the Cloud, employees
can now work simultaneously
on shared documents and
applications from any location
and any device in real time.

abundance of information available
to companies—like online sales

16. Nevertheless, the proliferation of
data presents a major challenge:
how can companies organize,
compile and interpret this data in
order to use it to their advantage?
