Cloud for companies: The business cloud for enterprises

Efficiency, flexibility, structure, and security are top priorities for companies. A good cloud for businesses, such as the business cloud from leitzcloud, offers all of this—and more. Thanks to function-based governance features, it is easy to maintain an overview and manage content.

Specifically tailored to businesses, we offer interfaces and organizational settings, including branding and activity logs.

With our business cloud from leitzcloud, you can advance your company digitally, simplify processes, and collaborate worldwide. Our content management enables this, optimizes your workflows, and increases productivity.

Why a cloud for companies is beneficial and what level of security it provides for your business can be learned in this article.

In addition, we cover the following content and features:

• Corporate governance features of the business cloud
• Options for your own branding, the use of your own hardware in combination with the business cloud, etc.
• Individual configuration options regarding organization and policies within the cloud business storage
• Device management of the cloud for businesses as well as remote wipe functionality
• File editing via online office, including revisions and file recovery

Let’s start with the most important question: Is switching to a cloud solution for your company really worth it?

Cloud storage for businesses – is it a sensible solution for my company?

A cloud for businesses is already theoretically worthwhile if you want to access data from more than one device. Unlike manual storage and time-consuming transfers, data can simply be uploaded and shared. From that point on, it is accessible anytime and anywhere in the world for selected users.

Here you can already see some key advantages of cloud solutions for businesses:

Collaborative and flexible work by multiple users on a project via team sharing, regardless of time and location. With a cloud for businesses, endless data transfers with limited storage capacities are a thing of the past. Instead of ten versions of a document, you immediately have the latest version, which is accessible to all selected users.

Especially in outsourcing scenarios or when working across multiple locations, cloud solutions for businesses offer decentralized data storage. This is not static, but can be flexibly adapted.

For example, when growing or shifting capacities, working with a cloud is not a problem. Therefore, making the transition also makes long-term sense and is by no means a short-term trend.

Field staff can share and access information in real time, view progress updates, and collaborate on projects together with the headquarters.

You also make collaboration with external partners much easier through innovative cloud solutions. Our interface is designed for international use and supports five languages.

Similarly to partners, qualified professionals can be attracted through the possibilities of flexible working (on the go, worldwide, or from home).

In the meantime, the data is securely stored through backups and certified data centers and remains fully in your ownership. As security is a top priority for us at leitzcloud, we will dedicate two separate chapters to it later in this document.

A study conducted by the auditing firm KPMG and the research division of the digital association Bitkom Research in 2016 already demonstrated the significant benefits of cloud solutions:

Nearly three-quarters of the companies surveyed in Germany confirmed that the availability and performance of their IT services had improved. No deterioration was reported by any of the respondents.

Despite these obvious advantages, it is surprising that only about 25 percent of German companies were using cloud solutions in 2016. Do you belong to them? Then it is time to change that. Let’s take a look at some of the benefits that cloud computing offers for businesses:

Cloud computing for businesses – with security toward greater efficiency

Security is a top priority at leitzcloud for businesses. Through the following measures, we do our best to protect you and your data and ensure privacy:

• Secure data storage on German servers
• State-of-the-art security technologies in our data centers (ISO 27001 and ISAE 3402 certified), including TÜV certification
• No access by third parties
• No processing or analysis of your data
• 256-bit encryption of data transfers
• Compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

Cloud computing for businesses – personal security measures

In addition to these basic options, we offer you the opportunity to use the cloud for your company even more securely:

Optional two-factor authentication secures your access and makes unauthorized access much more difficult.

Regular password changes provide a high level of security with minimal effort.

To ensure your data is protected in daily use and during editing, we offer a range of features:

• File locking prevents others from making changes while a user is working on a file
• Structured overview for administrators via the dashboard of ongoing activities
• Remote wipe of data and disconnection of devices from the cloud in case of loss or theft
• Device management for controlling devices connected to the cloud
• Data deletion – you decide when data is permanently removed

Not enough options for you yet? Then you can take it a step further with your own cloud hardware:

Cloud for businesses – use your own cloud hardware

With our business cloud, we offer various options to help you work in a GDPR-compliant way. However, you can also contribute to a high level of security yourself.

This is made possible, among other things, by dedicated cloud hardware that we set up in your company. In this way, you are reliably protected against suspicious activities such as viruses or hacker attacks.

In addition, there is the option to shut down the cloud infrastructure locally.

Let’s take a look at further advantages of your own cloud hardware at a glance:

• Your own hardware in your company
• Fast integration
• IT infrastructure can be switched off
• Full protection of your data

As you can see, you are in safe hands with us. Let’s now look at the possibilities that business clouds offer beyond this:

A dedicated server is particularly interesting for enterprise companies!

Cloud computing for businesses – numerous corporate governance features

Our intelligent governance management for business cloud enables, among other things:

• User management
• Revisions and file recovery
• Notifications and reports

Using the activity log, changes to files can be tracked. This allows you to see at any time, based on user management, who has modified files and folders.

Our leitzcloud business cloud stores revisions, i.e. older versions of files. If something is deleted, you can restore previous revisions. This ensures that no files are lost.

To always maintain an overview, notifications and reports in our business cloud storage help you. You can choose which activities you want to be automatically notified about via email or SMS on your computer and/or smartphone.

In addition, as an administrator, you can regularly configure reports with all information, developments, and statistics in the business cloud.

Thanks to device management, all devices that have access to the business cloud can be managed. For example, you can…

• Check the synchronization status
• Perform remote wipes in case of loss or theft
• Disconnect devices from the cloud

In this way, as an administrator, you maintain an overview of all activities in your business cloud and can intervene if necessary to ensure your company’s security.

Let’s move from the general to the specific and take a look at further individual configuration options that allow you to give your company cloud storage a personal touch:

Cloud for businesses – individually tailored to you, including branding

That all sounds good, but are you missing a personal touch? No problem! Use your own branding within the business cloud storage.

In addition to these general settings, we are happy to help you implement further individual requirements. For example, a personalized login screen can be created to highlight your branding even more.

True to the motto “Nothing is set in stone,” further customizations and solutions are also possible. You will see that our business cloud, along with our personalized implementations, noticeably accelerates your workflows and makes processes more efficient.

Our experienced IT experts are happy to provide you with efficient business cloud solutions. At the same time, you also have the ability to manage and operate within the business cloud yourself:

Cloud storage for businesses – manage your organization settings and policies

As an administrator of your business cloud, you can define many policies, such as:

• Activation or restriction of user functions
• Management of revisions as well as deleted files
• Definition of storage capacity for individual users

In addition, the organizational structure of the business cloud can be adapted to your preferences and requirements. For example, if you have multiple branches or departments, you can create a structure with sub-organizations.

In addition, various policies can be implemented and additional administrators can be assigned.

Cloud storage for businesses – what to consider

When choosing the best individual cloud for your company, it is important to consider your specific needs. For example, a cloud for schools offers different features than one specifically designed for businesses, such as leitzcloud.

What they all have in common, however, is compliance with data protection regulations and ensuring the security of your data.

A secure data storage solution and a TÜV-certified data center with server locations in Germany are essential criteria when selecting a business cloud. This ensures GDPR-compliant operations.

Especially for long-term use, outsourcing, or larger companies, it is advantageous to be able to add an unlimited number of devices.

In addition to the number of devices, their type should also be considered: whether smartphone or computer, Mac, Windows, or mobile devices with iOS and Android—these should all be compatible with the business cloud.

Data always available

You can install our sync tool on as many devices as you like.
This allows you to access and edit your data from anywhere!

Sync tools and mobile apps enable offline work. This is especially useful during train or bus journeys or while on a flight. Once you are back online, the updated data is automatically synchronized and made accessible to selected users.

A good business cloud is also characterized by strong customer support and fast assistance. With leitzcloud, we already provide support during the transition. Training and setup assistance are, of course, included.

We proactively address questions from new customers through live demonstrations, where we explain the most important features.

In line with Confucius’ motto: “Tell me and I will forget. Show me and I may remember. Involve me and I will understand.” our live demos work by encouraging participation and clearly showing where questions or challenges may arise.

In addition, you can contact us quickly and personally if you have any questions. We are happy to help and save you time, money, and effort.
