Cloud computing makes it easier. Companies were already dumping their own data centers to rent computing from Amazon, Microsoft, and Google. That shift is likely to speed up as millions of employees are forced to work from home, putting a strain on corporate technology infrastructures.  Increasing usage of remote and collaboration tools Microsoft has aggressively pushed its new business messag...
