Understanding Cloud and Hybrid Collaboration Solutions
The world is changing, and the way organizations collaborate and communicate is now different. In-office meetings or traveling to meet with colleagues or customers have been replaced with video conferencing solutions. Organizations are relying on collaboration tools to get their work done, whether they are working from home, in-office or on the go.
Most businesses have a mix of hardware, software and data centers that have been added over time. It is important to look deeper and understand the solutions you currently have available and the changes required to prepare for your new collaboration solution. It will be valuable to define your company’s needs and the capabilities required to best serve your employees and customers and make a decision on the necessary hardware and software required for the transition.

Cloud Collaboration Deployments
Cloud Collaboration deployments allow customers to move their resources, data storage, applications, servers and networks to the cloud. Cloud deployments have been proven to be secure, reliable and cost-effective. More and more organizations are moving their infrastructure to the cloud because cloud collaboration solutions provide lower upfront costs, less maintenance, and reduced infrastructure requirement, with the option to scale up and down as needed. They also enhance team collaboration and increase employee productivity and engagement.
With cloud video conferencing, your system can be up and running in minutes, allowing you to connect with your colleagues and customers with high-quality audio and video. Users are able to seamlessly communicate face to face, while administrators have an easier way to manage and provide effective collaboration. Video conferencing solutions transform your meeting experience and provide you with the freedom to communicate effectively with multiple locations and collaborate with remote stakeholders.

Hybrid Collaboration Deployments
Moving to the cloud does not have to be an all or nothing solution. Many organizations have made significant on-premises investments and they leverage the hybrid approach, transitioning some systems to the cloud while continuing to run others on their on-premises infrastructure. Hybrid deployments allow you to make the transition to the cloud at the pace suitable for your organization while maximizing your existing investments. According to Nemertes Research, “Hybrid enables organizations to adopt cloud strategically, delivering less disruption and faster access to specific capabilities like meetings and team collaboration from the cloud.”
