Work from anywhere with cloud computing

January 31, 2020/in blog /by wpengine

You’ve probably heard of cloud computing and how it’s changing the way businesses operate. The main question, however, is whether cloud solutions are right for your business. Here’s what you need to know to help you decide. 

What is cloud computing?

Basically, cloud computing is the term given to how businesses secure whatever computer-based services they need, whether it’s storage, server access, or other specific programs, from a remote service provider. 

Businesses typically pay the service provider for whatever services they use, when they use them, which makes the cloud a cost-effective option for SMBs with evolving needs but limited IT spending power.

Another bonus? There’s no need to invest in complex new infrastructure or hardware, either, since that’s what the services provider is for. 

The growth of cloud computing in the workplace 

Cloud computing is increasingly popular with SMBs in every industry. In fact, a recent study showed that more than 80% of companies who use cloud technology reduced their IT costs, and a whopping 90% of companies with between 100-499 employees are using cloud services now. 

It’s clear that the cloud is here to stay. 

4 reasons to introduce cloud technology into your organization 

Although cloud solutions are popular with many businesses, are they right for yours? Here’s why we think you should give it a chance. 

1. Remote working 

Perhaps one of the biggest benefits of cloud computing is its flexible infrastructure, which makes it possible for your employees to access any files and emails they need whether they’re in the office or in another state. 

Cloud-based applications helps you design your workplace around your users, which naturally improves their satisfaction levels and, in turn, their performance and output.   

2. Collaboration

With cloud computing, your employees can work alongside colleagues wherever they’re located. Since employees can communicate and exchange documents in real-time, there’s less chance of miscommunications and unnecessary delays. 

What’s more, employees can brainstorm with their colleagues and come up with creative, innovative solutions to problems at any time of day or night, whether they’re at home, the office, or on assignment somewhere else in the world.  

3. Productivity

Cloud computing doesn’t just let your employees work from anywhere. It lets them work in environments that they feel comfortable in and in which they’re most productive. 

Whether your employees are night owls or they enjoy working from coffee shops, cloud computing lets them access the documents they need when they’re ready to do their best work. 

In fact, studies show that around 65% of workers are more productive at home than in the office. 

4. Scalability & Backup 

Cloud computing greatly enhances your storage capacities and makes it easier to scale your business in a secure way. 

Businesses can purchase whatever storage they require, whether it’s extra bandwidth or remote storage space, without the added cost of complicated infrastructure, which they may not use during slower business periods. This makes it easier for businesses, particularly SMBs, to scale their IT budget to their business needs. 

Help your business grow

The bottom line is that cloud computing is essential for today’s increasingly mobile work environment. Every SMB serious about improving their bottom line and growing their company in a sustainable, cost-effective way should consider making the switch to cloud services.
