The IT world is abuzz with cloud computing. What exactly is cloud computing and how can you take advantage of it?
What is cloud computing?
As a business owner, the opportunity to rent applications and infrastructure versus developing software yourself, or hosting software and technology in your office, needs to be considered when developing your IT strategy.
Cloud services can offer benefits such as costs savings, accessing superior technology at a fraction of a cost to buy or build it yourself, and increased flexibility to expand or reduce infrastructure much more easily. On the flip side, there are security and privacy considerations that increase risks associated with using the cloud. These issues, and many other factors must be considered when developing a cloud strategy.
These decisions are not easy and there isn’t a single answer that suggests a move to the cloud in every instance is the right decision for your business. Perhaps housing all your IT in-house makes sense? Maybe a hybrid solution is the way to go?
Because these decisions are complex, you need experts to help you assess your options and make the best decision based on your needs.
