One can pick up work from where they left it at the office without fear of losing data or work. Travel and work are a new way of living for most of us, which is what WorkSpace helps with. The workspace on the cloud makes it convenient to work anytime and anywhere with an active internet connection.

2. Security – WorkSpace is secured with a Virtual Private Network (VPN). This protects users from data loss and is encrypted with volumes of storage capacity in the Cloud.

This proves and supports that information and data accessed from anywhere, be it an accessible Wi-Fi access point or from the company, data stored in Cloud is safe.

5. Largely Reduced Cost – WorkSpace users are prone to buying less hardware and software and spend less to deploy, maintain, and upgrade them. This vastly reduces the cost, as the device one works on requires no specific computing or storage capacity. Due to working on a shared server, one does not need to worry about specifications and can work on any basic device, eliminating a huge cost cut for the company.
