We help small and medium sized business’ understand, evaluate, configure, test, and implement Cloud Solutions.
Cloud Solutions use off-site server clusters that are in “the cloud” or in large, secure, well-maintained network operation centers. Simply put, you do not have to worry about cloud services like you do about the desktop or server in your closet, or at your hosting service. You let someone else handle data storage, security, upgrades, infrastructure expansion, and maintenance while you focus on evolving your business. Cloud Solutions scale well and can be reconfigured to meet your business needs
There are a number of mature Cloud Solutions with varying feature sets with enterprise-level capabilities in Accounting & Finance, Calendar & Scheduling, Customer Relationship Management, Document Management, Project Management, Sales & Marketing, Security & Compliance and Workflow.
There are a number of benefits associated with Cloud Computing including the following:
- Cost Savings: Traditional computing requires you to have adequate IT infrastructure to meet peak performance requirements which requires you carry bloated cost over non-peak periods. Cloud Solutions allow your company to pay for what you need and allow you to “grow” in relative proportion to your requirement opposed to investing in infrastructure that extend beyond what you actually require.
- Scalability: Cloud Solutions gives your business the flexibility to “pay for use” and grow alongside your business, allowing you to easily add users, features, services, etc. as required. The best part of this is that your company does not need to procure or maintain the IT infrastructure which allows you to serve your customers more efficiently.
- Ease of Access: Simply put, Cloud Solutions are accessible from your office, home and mobile device with minimum down-time for maintenance. Most Cloud Solutions have smart phone applications to maximize mobile device usability and your business productivity.
- Security: Cloud Solutions save you the worry about physical security where the majority of Cloud Solution vendors provide enterprise-level security and intrusion protection safeguards to keep your data safe. In addition to SSL authentication a number of Cloud Solutions can be setup with two-factor authentication using your mobile device.
- Data Backup: Rather than worrying about Disaster Recovery strategies and off site backups in the case of a fire / flood, Cloud Solutions can be configured in a number of ways to ensure your data is backed up regularly.
