Cloud Computing - Why It’s Time To Shift Your Business To The Cloud

Cloud Computing - Why It’s Time To Shift Your Business To The Cloud
July 1, 2020
No Comments

For every manager and business owner who is not familiar with cloud computing technology, the concept of shifting their business to the cloud is likely to be daunting!

Many companies fear that storing their data on a cloud platform could be less secure as compared to file storage and on-site data. Some also think that it could be an expensive affair to make the transition or a time-consuming task that will halt their business operations.

But this cannot be further from the truth!

In fact, businesses that have already moved to the cloud are reaping numerous benefits like increased security and enhanced productivity. Studies suggest that nearly 74% of companies think that the cloud had a positive impact on their company.

But What Exactly is Cloud Computing?

It is possible that your business is already leveraging the cloud computing technology, although you are not sure what it actually does.

For instance, when you’re checking your bank account on the mobile device, you are technically using cloud-based ERP systems. Similarly, when you make changes to your social media accounts, you are in the cloud.

If you have various apps to handle your business operations, your company has perhaps already transitioned to cloud computing.

Why Should You Shift Your Company to the Cloud?

Since no one knows your business better than you do, it is completely up to you to decide whether or not you need to move to the cloud. But one thing is for sure - businesses not using cloud computing technology are slowly becoming a thing of the past!

Studies also suggest that over 93% of companies are already leveraging cloud technology.

These organizations have not transitioned to cloud computing because it is all the rage. They did it because of the myriad of benefits offered by the cloud ERP system. Here are the top six reasons why you should move to the cloud right away!

1. It offers flexibility as per changing needs

Many businesses have mentioned ‘operational flexibility’ as the major reason why they moved their company to the cloud. As you grow your business, the bandwidth need also increases. The cloud computing technology helps you easily shoot up your storage capacity whenever you want to. Similarly, you also get to scale down with complete ease.

2. It provides solid disaster recovery

An unforeseen disaster can have a catastrophic impact on your business operations. Before the inception of cloud ERP solutions, investing in solid disaster recovery was frowned upon as an expensive affair. But with cloud computing technology, companies can easily execute a disaster recovery plan without huge investments.

3. It enables automatic security and software updates

When you leverage cloud computing, you ensure that your business’s servers are off-premises and handled by the provider. This means you get automatic and hassle-free security and software updates. It also lets you focus more on other essential business functions.

4. It saves the money you spend on hardware maintenance

Shifting your company to the cloud technology completely removes the need for expensive investment on hardware and its maintenance. Using cloud computing, your business can select any of the payment options that is convenient to you.

5. It improves data security

When you transition to cloud computing, all your confidential data is in safe hands! This means even if you accidentally delete your data or endure a software crash, you still have complete access to the information. It also enables you to wipe out the unnecessary data to make sure it’s not compromised.

6. It offers your company a competitive edge over others

When using cloud computing solutions, you get full access to all the latest technologies that you could not use otherwise. Also since you will be leveraging technologies similar to the ones used by established and large-scale organizations, you get an upper hand over your competitors.

Final Thoughts!

If your company has not yet moved to the cloud, it is high time that you do so!

Shifting to the cloud will only make your company more competitive and flexible, offer enhanced disaster recovery plans, safeguard your crucial data, and help you save hundreds or even thousands of dollars.

A robust cloud computing plan is one of the best ways to improve and grow your company. Another one is to collaborate with experienced suppliers.
