======================================================================

In business, reputation is everything. This is just as true within your 
organization as it is externally with your customers . Got a team with a 
reputation for getting things done working on your project? Youre going to 
feel reassured and excited to see what unfolds. On the other hand, when youre 
lumbered with a team known for making things difficult and not delivering, 
its likely youll be worried about the outcome of your project. 

Perhaps unfairly, the IT team has a harder job of cementing a great 
reputation than other teams. When everythings going well it tends to be taken 
for granted, its when something fails or there's a big transformation 
underway that its reputation comes into focus. 

But there is something the IT team can do day-to-day to show its value and 
raise its profile across the organization. By providing highly performant 
access and continuous availability to files, eliminating the risk of outages, 
and taking away the horror of version conflicts across distributed teams, the 
IT organization is providing a vital service. Helping to boost the business 
productivity , and supporting colleagues to collaborate across different 
sites without slow download times and with added security . Make it real-time 

Real-time file synchronization, ensures that files across the IT estate are 
always up-to-date and consistent with each other. It means wherever your 
colleagues are based, they have fast local access to the most current global 
project files, cutting out worries of version control and eliminating the 
need for back-and-forth communication. 

Get this right and your IT team will be enabling ambitious collaboration and 
informed decision-making, and enhancing customer experience. Here are 3 
things to look out for when youre choosing your next solution: Opt for 
active-active real-time file sync 

In active-active synchronization, multiple systems or locations share and 
synchronize data in real-time. A multidirectional data flow means all systems 
in the setup are capable of sending and receiving changes, improving 
performance and load balancing, and enabling efficient use of resources. The 
result is a solution with the ability to resolve issues when changes occur on 
multiple devices at the same time. Look for continuous availability 

Not all real-time file sync solutions are created equal. For the best 
experience, make sure that you can access your files at all times, without 
planned or unplanned interruptions - and ask your vendor how they guarantee 
this. 

With the right provisions in place, youll be ensuring business continuity. 
The best enterprise file sharing and collaboration solutions incorporate a 
resilient storage infrastructure design across sites that can gracefully 
handle outages of a storage node in the distributed environment. You will 
also receive the benefits of balancing the workload across the distributed 
always on, always available systems. All of which goes a long way towards 
building your reputation. Consider flexibility 

Many real-time file sync solutions only work with particular vendors 
hardware. By selecting a solution that works across a heterogeneous mix of 
storage, you avoid vendor lock-in and are freer to choose the technology that 
fits your project goals and your budget. 

Look for a solution that is designed to be compatible with different types of 
storage devices and operating systems and consider the level of vendor or 
community support you need. Opt for well-established solutions for ongoing 
support, updates, and compatibility with future storage technologies. 

Reputation is important for any team - but for the IT team, which is 
inextricably linked to operational efficiency, collaboration and innovation, 
it is even more important that it is seen as an enabler rather than a 
blocker. Choosing a flexible solution will save you (and the business) money 
in the long-run - and earn kudos for the IT team.
