Businesses are adopting the digital landscape. Business owners are keen to set up a digital workplace, for flexibility to stay connected anywhere and anytime. The cloud is one of the most reliable and promising emerging technology solutions that offer this convenience. Of course, business owners should approach cloud experts who can guide them to have the most suitable cloud solution for their business.
Synergetics Consulting has been one of the most experienced cloud service providers associated with Microsoft Azure for three decades, highlighting the benefits of cloud computing solutions for small and medium business owners in this article.
Less IT Costs
This benefit is what every business owner looks out for. The cloud solution reduces the need to have and manage an elaborate IT setup requiring expensive machines and accessories. Rather, you can invest in cloud services that operate on use and pay for them to their service provider.
Migration to Microsoft Azure or Amazon Web Services (AWS) removes the need to purchase and maintain hardware and software infrastructure. It greatly reduces the total cost of investment. On the other hand, with a cloud solution, the business has to pay for used resources and storage to the service provider.
Scalability
It is a sensible decision to use the cloud for business operations and scale as per demand. You can opt for more storage space when there is a spike in demand and reduce your space requirement when the demand reduces. Moreover, you pay for the storage used and need not pay any additional charges. With the cloud service provider managing these tasks, you can concentrate on your business without worrying about cloud expenses.
A recently set up small e-commerce startup is wondering how to cope with a surge in traffic during the peak season. Under the guidance of a seasoned cloud provider, the startup can scale up the cloud infrastructure and storage as per demand rather than heavily invest in hardware and servers.
Uninterrupted Performance
The best part of an online business is continuous performance throughout the year. Hence, adequate data protection and systems against breakdown, power failure, natural disasters, etc. It is necessary to keep your data safe and secure in the cloud. In case of any eventuality, the cloud service provider will ensure access to the data, and the business will continue to perform without any time lag or loss of resources.
A manufacturing company stores its critical data and applications on a cloud platform, eg., Dropbox Business or Google Drive. In case of a natural disaster or power outage at the company’s premises, employees can quickly access their data from any location with internet connectivity, ensuring business continuity and minimal disruption to operations.
Storing critical data and applications on a virtual cloud platform is a smart decision for any manufacturing company. In case of a natural disaster or power surge issues, the employees can access the data immediately and continue their business with minimal downtime. Popular cloud platforms are Microsoft One Drive, Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.
Accessibility and Collaboration
Cloud is one of the most versatile solutions ever available. It is very convenient to use. It allows accessibility and communication across various parties and locations. With required permissions, select employees, third-party vendors, contractors, and relevant professionals can access the data as and when essential.
Today, most organisations are familiar with Microsoft Office 365 or Google Workspace, and other cloud-based collaboration tools like Microsoft Office 365 or Google Workspace. These tools allow communication and file sharing for people located at various locations. They can access the project and its details in real time and share information in a secure environment.
Ease in using preferred work practices
Employees can work as per their preferences and priorities. With a cloud computing solution, they can work from home or the office or on the move. They focus on work deliverables which are uncompromised at any cost. Also, it is possible to access data even when they are offsite through the internet as per convenience.
Choosing a cloud-based management software offers work practice flexibility. The employees can work remotely to keep up the workflow. The cloud-based management software can keep track of project updates, task allocation, team communication, and work progress.
Upgrades, Updates and Maintenance Routines
Your cloud service provider will perform system updates, maintenance tasks, data backups and software updates as scheduled and when necessary. They perform these tasks for a service fee and upon mutual agreement.
