With this said, the overall value of a cloud strategy may still be determined by organisational specifics and execution on a case-by-case basis. Oracle’s Mark Hurd believes that businesses will continue to find this value. He predicts that “80 percent of enterprises will shut down their data centres by 2025” in favour of cloud services.

Today, technology enables us to stay connected from the four corners of the world. However, nothing boosts work relationships more than face-to-face networking. To this extent, there are some conferences that cannot be missed, such as EXPO REAL. This is Europe’s largest trade show, and takes place next October 8-10 in Munich. As about 40,000 visitors are expected to participate, Drooms is announcing its newest machine learning technology, the Findings Manager.

Relationships between clients and lawyers are important and involve a lot of communication and sharing of documents. The relationship is built on trust as sensitive information passes hands. This means lawyers must implement and employ a proper communication channel for managing documents. For this, electronic document management systems are popular.

Cloud software, such as Dropbox, is a popular option, but special data rooms would actually be more beneficial in many instances. Here’s a look at the six reasons data rooms like Drooms NXG are a better alternative for lawyers than generic cloud software.

Real estate might seem on the outside like an industry on a stable footing. New buildings are popping up, people are renting and buying, and traditional real estate companies are working away, albeit often online. But under the surface, a seismic shift is taking place.

Are you online? That question is one everyone hears these days, whether you work in finance, are a small business owner or an investment guru. Everything is online, making us connect with friends and colleagues, find information, and work and conduct business in the digital world. The digitisation of our lives is truly an on-going process with far-reaching consequences. This kind of digitisation has also changed the way investors and businesses connect with M&A advisors. Indeed, you could wonder whether M&A advisors are becoming obsolete due to this online networking.

The financial industry is constantly changing – in order for financial advisors to provide value for their clients, they need to be able to identify these challenges and adopt the necessary changes.

That’s where virtual data rooms (VDRs) come in: they offer a higher degree of protection for everything confidential.

Against a backdrop of global political instability and growing financial fluctuations, the M&A sector remains positive, thanks to enlightened strategies rooted in technological innovation.
