Reasons to Move to the Cloud

A few examples of some of our clients:

• One of our organizations had its employees work from home immediately and needed to access their data remotely from their computers. We set up VPN’s back to the office. They were set up so that when they were home, they could access all the information from their homes. They had to access their work computers and their office devices.
• For one of our healthcare practices, we established a capability that allowed staff to receive calls from patients to set appointments, even when the staff weren’t in the office. Phones rang in mobile homes, at home, and at the office.
• Another company we had them have files in the cloud. They could access documents and emails from anywhere at any time.

Every business’s decision to move to a digital workspace is personal. Overarching reasons include competitive edge, security, scalability, collaboration, compliance, disaster recovery, and mobility. Here are reasons why a digital cloud workspace solution is the right technology for your business to use to “evolve and thrive” in the new normal.

Automatic Upgrades

One of the primary reasons for moving to the cloud is to enable automatic software upgrades. The automatic upgrade feature of the cloud is, in a sense, a consequence of there being no physical object called “the computer server” or “hard disk.”

When you have a physical thing, you have to find it before you can change it. With a virtual thing, there is no such problem. It can be changed from a distance and at any time.

Security and Privacy

With cloud computing, you no longer need to worry about the machine that stores your data getting stolen or compromised. Your information is safe, secure, and accessible from anywhere in the world, provided that you work with an experienced IT cloud provider. If you choose cloud services such as Microsoft Azure or another similar service with encryption features, you will still need to ensure that your data is transferred over a secure network connection.

The security benefits of cloud computing outweigh its perceived risks. In addition to the services provided by Big Techs, your data enjoys greater resilience against cyberattacks.

In recent years, cyberattacks have increased dramatically as hackers have become increasingly equipped with advanced technologies to perform malicious attacks on businesses and individuals. In fact, according to recent estimates by Cybersecurity Ventures, cybercrime is projected to cost the global economy $6 trillion annually by 2021.

With this increase in cybercrime, businesses are seeking ways to protect themselves against these attacks by utilizing cloud networking services like Microsoft Azure, which provides enhanced database security at all levels, ranging from authentication to access control and encryption.

Compliance

A cloud environment helps with compliance, which is crucial for any business that handles customer data. A compliance policy must be implemented consistently and respected. When you choose to work with us, you can rest assured that your cloud environment will be governed by relevant compliance policies, including the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and other applicable regulations specific to your business.

Accessibility

Simply put, a digital cloud workspace provides your employees with access to everything they need to securely perform their job tasks from anywhere, at any time, and from any device, with just one password.

With the digital cloud workspace model, users can access their desktops and data from anywhere in the world, quickly and easily, with any internet-connected device. This opens new hiring opportunities.

No longer will we be enslaved by who is available locally. Cloud workspace adopters will be able to hire the right person regardless of where they live – “A” players in another city vs. a “B” player near your office. Give me the “A” player.

Valuable for Data Science

Cloud computing has made data more accessible. This is especially important to data science, where data analysts can leverage cloud infrastructure to create cutting-edge machine learning systems for businesses for a fraction of the cost.

Financial Benefits

The promise of trustworthy utility computing is within our reach. Only pay for what you use and, more importantly, have available to you what you need when you need it. Eliminate the need for expensive hardware upgrades and in-house server rooms, thereby simplifying your IT spending with a single solution.

Generally, it is offered as a fixed-fee monthly service that you can accurately budget for, just like electricity, phone, and other utilities. The promise of trustworthy utility computing is within our reach. Only pay for what you use and, more importantly, have available to you what you need when you need it. This should be exciting to all business owners. Learn more about the financial benefits of the cloud.

Performance Benefits

The collaboration opportunity is fantastic. It enables video conferencing, document sharing, and general human interaction that spans geographies.

Cloud done right can bring new ways to work for businesses that are willing to evolve and thrive in the new normal.

One of the best benefits of the cloud is that it allows you to tailor it to the needs of your knowledge workers easily. Some require simple computing power and access because they perform simple, repetitive tasks, while others require the IT equivalent of a Ferrari.

To me, a digital cloud workspace solution eliminates the hassle of VPNs, overcomes slow application performance, easily maintains version control, and reduces high backup costs.

Best of all, it increases productivity, optimizes security, and maintains compliance.
Understanding all of this is a learning curve.

You’ll want to hire an experienced digital cloud workspace service provider and a certified Microsoft or AWS cloud service provider to help.

I know that our future is going to be more technology-driven than ever before, but this is not a shift in doing the same thing differently. People, not computers, will still collaborate just differently.

We will live more dynamically, fluidly, and vibrantly as we play, parent, and perform at work.

The cloud is here to stay because people want access to the information they need, when they need it, where they need it, anywhere, on any device, without compromise.

“Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.” – George Bernard Shaw.
