87% of IT professionals across 1,000 organizations said they experience benefits from the cloud that drive business acceleration. 41% attribute business growth to use of the cloud and 30% are able to launch new products, speed up time to market, and expand to new markets.
1. Flexibility at Scale:
Cloud services are highly scalable, and your team can increase or decrease resources as needed. If you’re an eCommerce business, you may need to accommodate more traffic and users during the holiday season. Increasing costs will occur, but in the off-season, you need the ability to reduce performance resources thereby saving money. With on-premise technology, your only option is to upgrade existing hardware or purchase a more powerful server. Sure, you can always reduce the resources dedicated to a workload, but the manufacturer isn’t going to cut your team a check for it.
2. Improved Cybersecurity:
McAfee found that the majority (52%) of companies experience better security in the cloud, according to their Cloud Adoption Risk Report. This is in stark contrast to the earlier stages of cloud adoption, when companies were apprehensive, filled with fear and doubt about cloud security. Cloud service providers have the resources to protect their infrastructure and your data in ways that most small and midsized businesses cannot.
3. More Efficient Collaboration:
Collaboration in the cloud and the ability to mingle across geographical or organizational borders is becoming an ever more critical foundation of business success. With teams being able to work remotely through cloud computing solutions, teams can access, edit, download, upload, and share content at any time. Virtually every cloud service allows real-time collaboration, which means colleagues can work together on the same content or project, iterating more efficiently to complete client deliverables faster.
4. Improved Employee Productivity:
Cloud technology helps increase productivity because employees are able to take their work with them and work when they feel most productive. Many cloud-based software companies have phone apps that make it convenient to work on the go and never miss a client’s sales inquiry. Most cloud applications have integrations available that allow you to automate routine tasks. They also allow you to receive notifications for sales inquiries, send automated emails for website interactions, update contact records, and extract data that can be utilized to find market trends.
Businesses are looking to resolve their security and compliance worries by extending the organization’s policies to data in the cloud. By doing that and investing in the major cloud skills gap, more companies will be able to take advantage of significant benefits that cloud computing services can offer.
