employees of the company to communicate in a better way when they are at different
locations. Other than this aspect helps the company to protect their resources which are related

If the Information technology used in the company is not updated according to the
current trends then it won't be able to protect the business from external threats which can lead
the company to failure. There are many factors which are needed to be kept in check such as
