Cloud computing from first steps to full implementation
Find out the cloud benefits of moving your organization
Migrating to the cloud has helped countless organizations increase their efficiency, access advanced technology and implement scalable solutions—all while improving their cybersecurity posture and gaining competitive advantages. Cloud computing could be a major factor in your organization’s success, helping your company to become more agile, flexible and adaptable. But to begin your cloud computing journey, you will need an advisor who can provide key insights to guide you through the potential risks and amplify the cloud benefits.
What cloud benefits should I expect?
Some gains will come more quickly than others—and some will be more profound and striking—but in general, the cloud offers the following opportunities and benefits to your organization:
- Easy accessibility. As long as you have internet access, you can access the cloud.
- Rapid scalability. Your cloud solution can be scaled quickly, either horizontally (to meet short-term demands) or vertically (to accommodate long-term demands). And it can be adapted to match business cycles.
- Improved cash flow. With the cloud, you can more easily convert capital expenditures into more predictable operating expenditures.
- Agility. Your cloud computing solution can be rapidly deployed. Procurement, hardware- and software-installation workloads are often eliminated.
- No additional costs. You pay only for the features that you use, not what you anticipate you may use. Furthermore, your budget can be adjusted to account for peak periods or temporary changes in your organization.
- Access to improved technology. The cloud offers organizations cost-effective options for utilizing advanced applications and high-tech solutions.
- Distributed nature. Even far-flung organizations—those with multiple offices or international locations—can access the organization’s cloud. This is beneficial when considering latency, regulatory concerns and continuity implications.
- Outsourced management. Utilizing the cloud makes it easier to work with a managed services provider to outsource some of your organization’s IT functions.
