The positive effect of Box’s journey to the European cloud

The cloud computing industry’s sudden surge into the online management commerce is so surprising that some experts surmised that it may cost a big fraction of the labor force. They think that a lot of people will lose their jobs since the computer and the Internet would replace the task that humans are assigned to do.

Box’s flourishing operations seem to counter the aforesaid grueling idea. Aaron W. Levi, the 28-year-old chief executive of the US-based privately held data storage firm, plans to take his business to a higher level by making a base to “capture other fast-growing markets for cloud-based data storage.” With this plan, new offices would be opened and more jobs would be created, which, in turn, might possibly attract more competitors, which also means more jobs in the future. Just this year, Box hired 40 more personnel to extend its American operation (which houses 700 employees) to London.

But what prefigures Box’s European cloud adventure is beyond its personal company history: it only shows that the online business data storage and management industry is on its way to become a flourishing commerce. Box has shown many independent and privately owned cloud-computing and data storage companies that vying with industry giants like Amazon, IBM, Google, Microsoft, and Google does not mean an automatic business failure.

Corporate development: Where every detail counts

Record-keeping has always been an important part of business. No more is this important than in corporate development, where specialists scour acquisition targets and drive multiple transactions toward favorable outcomes for their companies. Keeping track of all these actions and directing them toward the company’s desired outcome in real time is a challenge to the teams responsible for corporate development.

Not too long ago, many companies managed corporate development through manual storage in various locations, tracking through spreadsheets, and holding weekly calls with the corporate development teams.



The way things have been done before may no longer be as effective. That is why a new system of record, which would serve as the standard, may be in order. Switching to a newer system may be the solution needed to make the acquisition process more streamlined and transparent.

A centralized and secure system would allow members of the team to catalogue, view, and update all pertinent information from a single, secure source. Platforms offered by content management solutions providers, such as IntraLinks, would also let companies connect with their intranets, allowing limited outside access to important documents in a secure fashion, and let teams monitor the progress in real time.

Streamlining the acquisition lifecycle and managing oversight over it is a vital part of the corporate development process.

Collaboration through Microsoft SharePoint: A new way of working together

Having undergone many innovative design changes like most of the programs from Microsoft’s industry-standard Office line, SharePoint 2013 claims to be able to create a new collaborative work experience. A Web-based file-sharing program with cloud app creation functionalities, SharePoint allows its users to effectively share and manage files and documents in local intranets and, recently, in the cloud.

SharePoint was first launched in 2001 and has since joined the other iconic programs of the Microsoft Office suite in becoming one of the most ubiquitous industry programs on the market. The current version, 2013, allows for an increased social working environment, allowing users to connect with and share information with experts from across the organization and to take the program with them anywhere they go through their mobile phones and tablet PCs.

With additional social media functionality to intranets enabled by the enterprise social network Yammer and close integration with other programs from Microsoft Office, such as Outlook and Project, SharePoint brings working in a network, whether an intranet, extranet, or through a website, to a whole new level of integration.

More about this software’s features can be read from the Microsoft website.
