3 Reasons You Should Move More of Your Business onto the Cloud

“The Cloud” is no longer one of those terms that the majority of people don’t understand. With more and more pieces of technology, giving users continuous access to their files, no matter where they are.

Although many larger businesses are already taking advantage of this extremely accessible service, there is quite a number of smaller businesses who feel like they either won’t benefit much or don’t know enough about the cloud service.

As trusted IT support services in Wembley, we already know how great the cloud can be- regardless of a company’s size. Here are 3 reasons that we think that more companies should be taking advantage of this incredible data storage service!

Higher Accessibility Options

Many businesses find it time consuming to set up a wired system which allows for each of their departments to access specific sets of data from different locations.

The beauty of a cloud-based storage system is that these files will be accessible anywhere, as long as the staff know how to log in and retrieve the data. This is especially handy for those businesses who have field sales teams or departments in other cities across the country as their staff will be able to instantly access the details that they need without having to wait.

This makes your workforce more productive and gives you access to a wider range of potential, talented employees from around the country.

They Have Great Security In Place

Security is something that you should be thinking long and hard about, but cloud based services aren’t lacking in security at all.

Although security breaches are something that we are hearing more and more about in the news, most providers of cloud storage have excellent security in measures in place to protect the data stored on their servers.

It doesn’t just stop at digital security either- many providers have round the clock security professionals providing surveillance and other security controls in place.

In reality, the server with all your data on which is sat in your office doesn’t have the same amount of security surrounding it as a cloud service. What is stopping someone from walking into your building and stealing it right from your office?

It Can Cut Down Running Costs

You may think that investing in a cloud service would cost your business quite a bit of money, simply because of all the benefits that come with having cloud storage in place.

However, it isn’t as expensive as you may think, and in many cases you will actually save money through reducing the need for in-house equipment to store your data, which will in turn reduce your energy bills.

You also wont need to pay out for a specialist to come in and repair your equipment- you’ll just pay a monthly fee and your provider will do all this for you.

It’s also a good way to cut down the risk that you will loose all your data in a natural disaster such as a flood or a fire and will even protect your data from physical break ins to your business. Having your data stored offsite keeps it safe and secure.

Cloud based storage options are becoming increasingly popular in all industries, as well as with casual users too. Don’t miss out on this safe, secure and easily accessible way to store your data!
