Cloud computing is an important concept each enterprise should know. To define cloud computing is simple language, cloud means on the internet and cloud computing means making the stuff available over the internet. For example, an enterprise have shared folder on the network. 


But that folder is only accessible when employees are in the office. What if they want to work from their home and access their folder? That's when the concept of cloud computing comes in handy. The stuffs should be on the internet or on the cloud to be accessible from anywhere. It gives employees flexibility and increases the work efficiency. 

Social Media and Cloud Computing

If a company mixes and combines cloud computing and social media, then they can rule the market.

Here's how: Nowadays almost every company uses Facebook. Facebook has a unique feature called "groups". If a company creates a "group" for the employees, then people can join the group via their Facebook.

Company needs to be careful though. They should set the privacy to 'employees only' because the groups can contain some confidential conversation that a company should not allow them to be seen publicly. 

This "group" can act as a cloud computing tool. Rather than sharing and collaborating on the office server, employees can collaborate on the 'cloud' meaning over the 'groups' which builds connection.
