For many business leaders, it started with the BlackBerry. Remember those?
The BlackBerry was one of the first devices to showcase the power of cloud computing, even before the term “cloud computing” was widely used. By the time the iPhone dethroned the BlackBerry as the smartphone of choice, a new idea was already settling in… It’s possible to stay connected nearly 100% of the time.
The implications were huge. They still are. And as more data and services live in the cloud, it gets easier and easier to access whatever you need, from wherever you are. Love them or hate them, BlackBerries are largely a thing of the past. But the cloud? The cloud is here to stay. Ninety percent of businesses use some kind of cloud service, and 50% prefer cloud-based solutions whenever possible. When you work with cloud solutions, you don’t have to worry about maintenance, installation, or upgrades. All of that is handled for you! Make life a breeze (in the clouds).
If your business is booming, you already know all about growing pains. One of the few downsides of success is that it can be hard to keep up. The cloud makes it considerably easier. Cloud services are designed to be both flexible and scalable. The very same tools work equally well for enterprise organizations and small businesses. In most cases, you just have to choose the level of service and options you want. Pay for exactly what you need – no more, no less. No capital expenditures. No hardware obsolescence.
When your business expands, simply add to your subscription. The malleable nature of cloud solutions makes them perfect for a business in the middle of a growth spurt. At Networks Unlimited, your computer and managed service provider in Grand Junction, CO, and in Montrose, CO, and surrounding Western Slope areas, we offer IT services, add-ons, and customization options with cloud based services. If your organization has unique requirements, no problem — we have solutions to meet the stringent demands of highly regulated industries, like the medical field (HIPAA).
Remote access is another major advantage of cloud services. When your data and applications live in the cloud, you’re set up to work from almost anywhere. All you need is internet connection and a smart device. Neither you nor your staff is tied to a desktop computer at the office. Get things done on-the-go on your laptop, tablet, or even on your smartphone.
Cloud solutions also include backups of your data across multiple servers in multiple locations. Cloud solutions can add value, boost productivity, improve functionality, tighten security, and free you to work from anywhere. Determining the best cloud services for your team depends on how you work, what you do, how you measure success, and how your people function. There’s no one-size- fits-all solution.
