Three Reasons Why Mobility Overwhelms SMBs
Companies of all sizes are facing the demand of two popular employee trends – the want to use personal devices at work and the desire to work remotely.

Why you need Secure Sync and Share for mobile…
Not too long ago (even 5 or 10 years seems an eternity) life was easy. Most of us were tied to our desks. The ones that were not, like sales people, would carry boxes with printed materials and price lists in the trunks of their cars. Remote workers would dial in and connect via VPN to access their file servers.

And sometimes, with all this routine work, the most amazing things can be lost or go un-noticed… But not today.
