Work Remote, Stay Connected
7 reasons why your business needs to move to the cloud right now
What is Working in the Cloud?
Cloud computing enables your business to access and store its data on the internet, empowering your team to continue working on any device from any location with an internet connection.
1. Reduced costs
The alternative to cloud computing is running a data center, which requires purchasing the right equipment and hiring technicians and manage the center, creating high fixed costs. With cloud computing, you only pay for what you use.
2. Geographic Flexibility
Your team can work from any location at any time.
You can reduce the number of workstations in your office and remain operational if your office is ever inaccessible.
3. Scalability
Traditionally, planning for growth requires purchasing additional servers, storage, and licenses. Scaling cloud computing services is quick and easy. You can get additional storage space or features whenever you need them, and easily scale down if needed.
5. A wide range of options
There are hundreds of options when it comes to cloud-based software providers. You can choose the service providers with the best features and rates for the service that your business needs.
4. No need for a backup plan
Traditional computing systems require back up plans, especially for data storage. A disaster can lead to permanent data loss if no backup storage is in place. On the cloud, data will always be available and backed up.
6. Data security
Storing data on the cloud can be safer than storing it on physical servers and data centers. A breach of security at your premises can lead to compromised data security if laptops or computers are stolen. If you have data on the cloud, you can delete any confidential information remotely or move it to a different account.
7. Improved collaboration
Team members can easily share data and collaborate to complete projects in real-time from different locations. Field workers can easily share data and updates with those in the office. In addition, cloud computing eliminates redundant or repetitive tasks such as data re-entry.
