Why Move Your IT Infrastructure to the Cloud?
Some of the biggest advantages of moving your IT infrastructure to the cloud include the following:
- Reduce costs and boost cost-efficiency. By removing the costs of hardware, such as servers, and removing the costs associated with running a data centre, you can achieve a significant saving. Often, costs such as electricity, human resources, and other costs needed to manage IT can be reduced significantly by moving your infrastructure to the cloud.
- Enjoy flexible payment options. SaaS has reduced the risk for companies, allowing you to only pay for resources you use during a specific period. Usually, billing is done on a monthly basis, so there is no need for Capex approval. This makes it easier to add or reduce the resources you require, with no penalties.
- Collaborate more effectively. Allowing staff to share files and work from any location, the cloud has greatly improved collaboration within the workplace, which improves productivity, and also ensures that people are more productive, whether working remotely or on-site. Collaboration across any location also ensures a better work/life balance for employees, ensuring a happier, more productive workforce.
- Improve data recovery. Disasters such as power failures, fire or theft can strike at any time. If you have on-premise servers, this could mean the loss of critical company information, which could greatly affect your staff’s ability to do their work. Cloud service providers ensure that their data centres are protected against these risks, offering regular backups as a part of the service and giving you peace of mind that if one data centre is not available, you will be directed to another data centre.
With 16 years of technical experience combined with our powerful tools such as Printix cloud print management, we look forward to continuing to help our customers move print infrastructure to the cloud in 2020 and beyond.
