Recently I took a cross country driving trip as we moved from outside of Boston, which has been inundated with snow, to Austin TX, which has no snow. Aside from the reasons for the move, we found several cloud based business critical applications to be invaluable while traveling long distances: navigation and communication. It may seem that there could be many more, but given our devices, it boiled down to just those two: finding our way and keeping in touch with other.
