Cloud Computing
If you’ve ever been involved in the implementation of a new application you’ll know it can take months or even years to get it up and running. But with a cloud-based application, you can cut through this complexity. In many cases, you can sign up and start using the application instantly, and even the most wide-ranging enterprise applications are usually up and running in a matter of days or weeks rather than months or years.
Implementing a new application used to mean considerable capital expenditure on new equipment – not to mention the cost of licenses, integration, and the inevitable consultants – but with cloud software, these capital expenditure costs are dramatically reduced or even completely eliminated. Instead, you simply pay a monthly fee, transforming a significant capital expenditure into a predictable operational expense.
Cloud applications are designed to be accessed securely from anywhere and from any device. Patching, upgrading, and testing applications can take up days of your IT staff’s time every month, but with cloud applications none of this is necessary.
That’s because it’s all handled in the cloud, leaving your staff with more time to work on new projects and innovations. You’ll find that many of your existing business applications have a cloud capability – from office productivity to CRM and sales management tools – so you can move your apps into the cloud at a pace that suits your business.
With predictable costs, controlled risk, and immediate gains in flexibility, the business case is strong. All you have to do is take the first step.
