It\u2019s here: a revolutionary tool that makes businesses easier, cheaper, and faster. Your productivity will go up. Your workers can get work done from anywhere, including a plane with their phone. You don\u2019t have to have ten terabyte hard drives or much of a hard drive at all; a magical, fantastic tool has come to save you from all of those things. This thing is called\u2026the cloud.<\/p>\n
Probably not exactly what you were expecting, and you\u2019re probably thinking you\u2019ve heard everything you could possibly want to about the cloud, but let\u2019s look at it one more time and talk about what it can really do for your company.<\/p>\n
The Cloud Makes Things Work<\/strong><\/p>\n Your company probably works just fine without the cloud. Yes, it\u2019s a little expensive to print all of that stuff every week, and it\u2019s annoying when you go through a ream of paper a day because your editor just won\u2019t stop with that red pen, but it\u2019s doable. Plus, you like your old filing cabinet. It\u2019s been with you for twenty years and the creaking that happens every week is so easily fixed with a little WD-40, what\u2019s wrong with that?<\/p>\n Nothing \u2013 but the cloud does it all better. How much time have you wasted looking for a document when you could have just typed a word into a search bar and had everything at your fingertips? How many times have you lost a device, such as a laptop, to either a disaster or a thief and not had the ability to fish any of the work off of it? Probably at least one time too many. The cloud fixes this issue\u2026entirely. This makes everything in your office more efficient. The cloud helps you work and get things done, which just translates to money. Lots of money.<\/p>\n When I Tried to Cloud, It Was Awful<\/strong><\/p>\n This happens sometimes. People get bad experiences because they choose the wrong service for them. The cloud is really, really affordable and really, really simple (for those of us who don\u2019t worry about designing or maintaining all of that data). Sometimes a company may overstep their boundaries a little and upsell a little too much, and we wind up with something way too big, expensive, and clunky for our businesses. Honestly, you\u2019re probably better off starting out with a popular cloud service, like Dropbox, Box, or Google Drive. These are all very easy cloud services to control and they all have base services that are free. If you decide you need more, a local MSP can help you get more \u2013 but not too much.<\/p>\n So\u2026How is Any of That Adding Value?<\/strong><\/p>\n Productivity goes up, which means more profit. Complications and loss of data goes down, which means even more profit. The happiness of employees goes up because they can work remotely when they need to, which means even more productivity that, you guessed it\u2026translates to even more money.<\/p>\n You can\u2019t go wrong with the cloud, and there\u2019s no reason not to add value to your business by investing in a cloud service today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It\u2019s here: a revolutionary tool that makes businesses easier, cheaper, and faster.
