Otherwise, they may face unsynced or inaccessible files, siloed data, or applications that don\u2019t work as well on mobile devices. Technology woes like these don\u2019t just frustrate employees; they impede their ability to collaborate, share opinions and ideas, and perform high-quality work.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-131855 size-full alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/pulse.microsoft.com\/uploads\/prod\/2018\/01\/WorkProductivity_Microsoft365Demo.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1334\" srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/WorkProductivity_Microsoft365Demo.jpg 2000w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/WorkProductivity_Microsoft365Demo-300x200.jpg 300w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/WorkProductivity_Microsoft365Demo-768x512.jpg 768w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/WorkProductivity_Microsoft365Demo-1535x1024.jpg 1535w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"data data-left\">\n<p>This may be why many employees take technology into their own hands: At least 1 in 4 seek out their own mobile and cloudbased apps.
