Types of stories we are looking for
We are accepting all great stories of digital transformation, but here are a few examples of factors that may have pushed your business to adopt new technologies. Submit your story of how your business has adapted to the changing global paradigm using Synology solutions! The writer of the best story will win a DS420+, and three runners-up will receive a year’s subscription to C2 Storage.
Remote Work
When working from home, access to company files becomes complicated. Workers may be connecting to the server via VPN, or important company files may have moved to public cloud services. This often leads to files and data becoming scattered across different devices and locations, making it difficult to manage collaboration between employees.
Backup Solutions
With the rising threat of ransomware along with data becoming increasingly scattered across physical, virtual, and cloud environments, centralized backups are more important than ever before. Without effective backup, a company becomes vulnerable to business interruptions, accidental deletions, and malicious attacks.
Surveillance Solution
Surveillance systems are often difficult to deploy and manage, demanding hefty licensing fees and time-intensive maintenance. Furthermore, legacy surveillance systems may lack the centralized management necessary for mass deployment across multiple locations.
