Moving to the cloud might seem like a daunting task but the benefits outweigh the initial hesitation. Moving to the cloud allows multiple users to view data and collaborate in real-time. Shifting to the cloud ensures that your company is staying current and competitive, plus it makes your work easier and faster than ever before. The Cloud allows you to free up space on your hard drive to avoid the worst-case scenario… losing important data. Multi-tenant resource pooling gives your users the ability to share resources without exposing them to potential security risks. The cloud is scalable, so while your business grows the cloud is ready to grow with you. Plus you will see a reduction in costs for your IT infrastructure.

The Short Answer is yes. When you store your data and resources on the cloud you benefit from an enhanced level of security. One common security credential that we use every day is a password. That is just a drop in the bucket compared to other protocols that are typically taken when working in the cloud. Encryption is another tool that is used to prevent cybercriminals from accessing your most private information. Your data is likely more secure in the cloud than it is on your computer’s hard-drive

Like everything else in life planning is KEY. Analyze your current infrastructure and map out a plan for your migration. Visualizing your plan of action will ensure a smooth transition. Not all companies will need to execute a full migration. This is the time to discuss what level of migration you will be implementing. Determine your point guards for the transition and ensure that your company is on the same page during the entire migration.
