File sharing and management is a critical task for every organization. And with Office 365, you now have new ways to share and collaborate on all your files across OneDrive and SharePoint Online; while OneDrive gives you the freedom to create and store files on the cloud, SharePoint Online allows you to make them available for a larger audience, and collaborate content effectively. Together they make storing and accessing all your information simple and powerful. Okta customer research’s finding is that Microsoft’s Office 365 is the favorite and most used cloud service so far this year. You can seamlessly access files across all of your devices, edit documents on the go, and collaborate with colleagues in real-time. Let's look at some of the other useful file sharing tasks you can carry out with O365:

Software development is a complex process, encompassing various models and a variety of tasks and activities. With the nexus of forces (2015 Gartner CIO Agenda Report) – cloud, mobile, social, and information moving front and center, CIOs are already transforming their software development through new technologies and trends. Regardless of the software development method you choose to use, smart ways to develop software can enable you to deliver innovative, quality products. What are they? Read on to find out!

As a software development project manager, you might frequently experience long development cycles, constantly changing requirements (and priorities) that disrupt the development process, and  in the worst case scenario, finally deliver a product that does not meet customers’ expectations. Building innovative and quality software solutions on time and within budget is daunting and necessitates the need for a paradigm shift in the way software is developed and deployed. Although traditional methods of software development like waterfall and more recently, agile, have worked just fine for decades, as technology, markets, and business (or customer) demands evolve, there is a pressing need to build software products that are not only technologically competent, but also help in reducing costs and improving time to market.

People love their smart devices. And they love being able to use them at work from remote locations. The 2015 IDG Enterprise Building the Mobile Enterprise Survey says that 64% of enterprises are making mobility a critical or high priority on their technology agendas today.

Having a strong mobility strategy may be one the best ways to empower your workforce. But the journey can be tricky if you don't identify and manage potential barriers to having a mobilized workforce. Let’s have a look at those barriers:

When you finally decide to implement an ERP system, you probably have numerous expectations: from believing the ERP system will solve all your organizational problems, to envisioning an immediate ROI – the list is endless. Although taking the first step in implementing an ERP is laudable, not setting realistic expectations of execution can be catastrophic. According to Panorama’s 2016 ERP Report, most companies struggle with setting the right ERP implementation timeline. 57% of organizations take longer than expected to implement their ERP systems – largely because they had unrealistic expectations in the first place. Miscalculations regarding budget, time, and resources early in the planning process is one of the primary causes for failed ERP implementations.

If you're part of a highly regulated industry, then O365 eDiscovery is going to make your life a lot easier. By helping identify and deliver digital information from tens of thousands of places within the organization, for instance in Exchange Online mailboxes, Office 365 groups, SharePoint Online, and sites, eDiscovery makes the investigation process simpler and faster. To save time and further simplify the eDiscovery process, Microsoft made certain enhancements to O365 that make performing investigations from one central location possible. With these new eDiscovery enhancements, Microsoft aims to further strengthen the rich set of capabilities in O365 and improve the investigation process, enabling organizations to meet legal and regulatory obligations in an efficient manner. According to a Forrester study on “The Total Economic Impact of Office 365,” which studied the benefits of the software in a composite organization, using O365 eliminates the need to undertake four projects that would have otherwise been required - encrypted email, data leakage, eDiscovery, and rights management capabilities. In total, 9.5 man-months are saved with a corresponding cost avoidance of $90,250. If you're wondering how you can benefit from these enhancements, let's have a detailed look at each of them:

After witnessing three major industry revolutions, the world is now at the cusp of the fourth revolution. Industry 4.0 is causing a metamorphosis in the manufacturing sector, with IoT steering its way into the shop floor. Machine-to-machine communication is transforming factories by decentralizing control, and sensors are guiding factory workflow through smart devices; industrial assistant systems that use augmented reality and intelligent communication are helping manufacturers augment production efficiency, and social media leads new forms of collaboration. Industry 4.0 represents a paradigm shift from centralized to decentralized production; industrial production machinery no longer merely processes the product, but the products now have the ability to communicate with machinery and provide instructions.

Indusa was recently named to the Inc. 5000 List for Fastest Growing Private Companies.

If your company is considering an ERP system (assuming you don't have one already or are looking for a shift), you’ve got plenty to choose from. As you weigh options, one of the most important decisions you will be making is whether to opt for a cloud-based ERP solution or one that's deployed on-premises. Although the cloud is one of the latest hot topics, with enterprises big and small around the globe rapidly adopting the technology to make the most of the benefits it offers, it is very important to understand limitations too. While Gartner predicts that by 2018, at least 30 percent of service-centric companies will move the majority of their ERP applications to the cloud, embracing the cloud just because everyone around you is can prove detrimental to your business. No matter how tempting the cloud appears, there are numerous factors that need to be considered when determining which ERP model best suits your business. Let's have a look:

It is no secret that businesses today benefit by making themselves accessible via mobile devices. Although the web has been an integral part of our lives for over two decades now, the advent of smartphones is compelling businesses to shift their focus to a mobile-first strategy. While such a move is sure to bring benefits, the shift requires web designers to refocus their efforts towards mobile. A mobile presence helps boost sales, retain loyal customers, and expand reach. The question is, which type of mobile presence is best for your business?
