6 Reasons Your Business Needs to Adapt Cloud Computing

Why Should You Adopt Cloud Computing?

Cloud service migration is the norm rather than the exception -- it is commonplace for businesses to leverage cloud infrastructures as critical technology drivers for successful innovation and new business models. The days of managing large and expensive data centers are history.

Business leaders are after what the cloud delivers: agility, lower costs, scalability, and performance. In a November 2021 statement from technology research and consulting firm Gartner, "more than 85% of organizations will embrace a cloud-first principle by 2025 and will not be able to fully execute on their digital strategies without the use of cloud-native architectures and technologies." Furthermore, ever-increasing interest in the Internet of Things and machine learning propelled cloud adoption. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the move forward. Companies realized they had to rely on cloud technologies to enable their workforce to work remotely, video conference with customers, and accelerate digital commerce.

Switching to the cloud can save businesses time and money, ensuring competitiveness. According to the investment and financial analysis firm KPMG International:

"Cloud computing can enable innovation, dramatically reduce capital and operating costs, increase agility, and reduce time to market for new products and services. The cloud benefits both the business through enablement and IT via operational improvements. In fact, it is often an individual business unit that is leading the enterprise and IT towards cloud adoption" (KPMG.com; 2014).

Advantages of Cloud Computing

• Scalable – supports larger workloads and additional users more flexibly than internal data centers. Companies faced adding more software licenses, physical in-house servers, and network equipment in traditional IT methods.
• Cost Savings – Many companies are concerned about the expense of implementing a cloud-based server. To see the savings benefit, one needs to look beyond the initial cost and consider ROI. Cost savings come into play once cloud services are in place – company data will be easier to access than before, saving time and money for project startups. Sometimes, there is concern about paying for unnecessary features. Still, many cloud providers offer pay-as-you-go services that can be scaled up or back as necessary. Finally, utilizing cloud services shifts the responsibilities of data migration, upgrades, and maintenance to the service provider. This frees up funds that would otherwise be used for hardware and an internal IT structure.
• Security -- one of the primary concerns when cloud computing is under consideration. Many ask, if "I can access my data remotely, can anyone?" While questions such as these are understandable, keep in mind that the cloud service provider puts rigorous security protocols and monitoring in place. The cloud provider's responsibility is to monitor security full-time, benefitting the business since their IT department can focus on other issues.
• Performance – cloud adaptation improves user experience. Websites and applications hosted in the cloud are scalable to handle additional users. The service provider can run servers in geographical locations close to end-users, speeding up networks.
• Disaster Recovery –data may be lost due to issues at a data center, service disruptions during power outages, and natural disasters. Cloud service providers offer rapid data recovery no matter the emergency scenario, regularly testing data recovery paths.
• Digital Experience – data and cloud services are accessible anywhere; this allows for faster processing. Innovation gains momentum, customer experiences are enhanced and it provides employees with modern, flexible tools.
