4 Ways the Cloud Can Help Your Business Reach Greater Heights

b2ap3_thumbnail_cloud_computing_great_for_you_400.jpgCloud computing is sweeping the technology industry, and it’s easy to see why. It provides an immense versatility and productivity that we could only have dreamed of ten years ago. However, some organizations are still hesitant about implementing this game-changing concept into their technology infrastructure. One of the most common reasons is because businesses don’t actually know what the cloud can do for them.

Of course, you should always consider how new technology could affect your existing IT infrastructure before making a decision about it. To help you make an educated decision concerning the future of your business’s cloud strategy, take this moment to learn more about how the cloud can benefit your organization’s computing needs.

The Cloud Helps You Manage Growth
One of the key components of a cloud computing infrastructure is the administrator’s ability to facilitate growth. A good cloud will help your business stay flexible with scalable solutions designed to accommodate your specific needs at the time. These custom solutions can be integrated for use during periods when you experience hiring spurts or fast/slow business periods.

The Cloud Increases Productivity
Another key benefit of the cloud is being able to deploy applications across your network to make them easily accessible to all of your employees. For example, hosting your productivity suite, like Microsoft Office or Google Drive, on the cloud would be one way to increase your productivity. The cloud has a knack for increasing accessibility to critical systems that are imperative to everyday operations.

The Cloud Reduces Operational Costs
Integrating new technologies is a huge up-front cost that can break a budget that’s unprepared for it. The cloud is scalable enough to allow businesses to pay for some services, like software solutions, on a monthly basis. This prevents organizations from shelling out hefty expenses for the programs required to do their job properly. By hosting your IT infrastructure in the cloud, you can reduce the energy costs of operating this equipment, and consolidate your systems to make them easier to manage.

The Cloud Enhances Mobility
Cloud infrastructures are located online, so employees can access programs or information stored in the cloud. This helps employees be productive as often as possible on their own devices, even while on the road or while working remotely. Employees can work anywhere, anytime, be it from the comfort of their own home or while abroad on a business trip.

The cloud offers businesses an invaluable asset: knowing that their technology is flexible enough to meet their specific needs in a shifting environment. If you’re ready to move to the cloud, or if you just want to know more about it, give XFER a call at 734-927-6666 / 800-GET-XFER.
