How the Cloud Addresses Top IT Challenges

Today, organizations are facing a variety of IT challenges. Rather than being a source of worry, however, think of these challenges as opportunities to transform your strategic initiatives, reduce expenses, and better serve your customers.

Here are the top IT challenges facing organizations today, and how the cloud can help.

Meet needs on a budget
Many companies have the difficult challenge of navigating tight budgets while meeting the high expectations of customers. As the economic landscape evolves, the expectations of your customers will increase, whether you’re a large organization serving millions, or a smaller company serving a specific need for a small group of customers. Your customers expect your organization to be readily accessible. They want to be able to reach you no matter what time it is, where they are, or what device they’re using. Can your organization stay on budget while meeting those requirements?

There are viable ways to meet customer needs and remain financially prudent. Migrating to the cloud offers:
24x7x365 reliability
Use of new, innovative technologies
Robust data backup and disaster recovery solutions

By streamlining these processes into a single location, you save your organization time and resources, and allow yourself to focus efforts on important strategic initiatives. You can successfully meet the needs of your customers and reduce overall costs for your organization with the cloud.

Make security a priority
Upholding security is crucial for the success of any organization. Cyber attacks are evolving with increased sophistication; therefore, it is essential that your organization remains agile in its effort to protect sensitive information. Staying several steps ahead of hackers can be an extreme drain on resources, but the cloud offers industry-leading security measures to ensure that your information is kept safe without having to hire additional IT resources or invest in on-premise infrastructure.

Streamline and consolidate technology
Operating on disparate systems is expensive, time-consuming, and creates roadblocks for communication and collaboration on important initiatives.

Moving your organization’s infrastructure to the cloud will yield many positive results. For example:

Your organization’s technology is kept current via regular updates of your cloud-based applications, eliminating the need for hardware or software maintenance, monitoring, and management.

Cloud-based Unified Communications streamlines collaboration and communication between teams and office locations. You pay only for what you use, decreasing the strain on the budget.

Moving from capital expenses to operational expenses with a predictable monthly premium reduces budget constraints and eliminates the need for additional resources such as new equipment and staff for maintenance.
