For the past several years, businesses have turned to cloud to store their data and applications. More recently, firms are taking it a step further by moving their entire IT infrastructure to the cloud, fully ditching on-premise servers. Cloud elevates a firm’s security, data accessibility, scalability, and IT flexibility. Often, firms also realize financial benefits when moving to the cloud because they no longer need to maintain or purchase computers and servers every few years.
Here are 4 benefits of moving your IT from on-premise servers to the cloud:
-
-
Accessibility. The cloud allows users to access their files from anywhere, anytime, and using any internet-connected device. Employees have the ability to work in the same manner, regardless of where they are working from.
-
Cost Savings. Cloud desktops help minimize additional IT costs and reduce or eliminate other expenses. There is no longer a need to purchase, upgrade, or maintain infrastructure and hardware, like servers or PCs in the office. In addition, backup and business continuity are inherent in a cloud solution, negating the need to purchase and maintain additional, separate solutions.
-
Security. Cloud IT service providers deliver higher levels of security while storing a firm’s data offsite. Layered security, including firewalls, encryption, and backups ensure high levels of security for your firm and its data.
-
Increased Collaboration and Efficiency. Cloud enables employees to work together from various locations seamlessly. Once your business is working from the cloud, you no longer need to worry about software updates, expensive computer hardware, or security risks. Cloud enables you to stop worrying about your IT, and instead, focus on your own business and clients.
