Is Cloud Computing Journey Worthy for Your Company
Accessibility
Have your data accessible anywhere and everywhere as long as you have a working Internet connection. This also goes a long way in future proofing your business because you will have data anywhere and on any device. Google, dropbox, One drive, thingspeak are some of our everyday services we use that have adopted this model and by availing large cloud storage facilities have effectively eased file sharing and general communication.
Reduced Op-ex and Cap-ex costs
- Op-ex: short for Operational Expenditure, is the money spent on the day to day running a business. This includes utilities,maintenance and repairs, wages etc.
- Cap-ex: short for Capital Expenditure is the money spent on acquiring major assets(like vehicles, machinery, buildings etc) for a company for the purpose of increasing the companies ability to generate profits.
Cloud computing reduces the need for a business itself to invest largely in hardware, operating systems, data centers, upgrades etc instead replacing this with the more flexible and attractive lease model, which means that you get your required functionality but only pay for what you use, without the initial requirement of buying all the ‘paraphernalia’ yourself. This also means that the responsibility of maintaining their data solutions thereby reducing Op-ex and Cap-ex costs, which goes a long way if a business is operating under a tight budget.
Scalability
Scalability means ability of a business to maintain and manage its performance and efficiency despite having an increase in workload.
As your business grows and need for more functionality arises, all you need do is renegotiate your lease terms. Instead of setting up own infrastructure, on demand service is perfect since the cloud computing is a lease service. Also because of the wide availability of the service collaboration amongst teams is promoted which means that your business can have a larger footprint for a reduced cost.
Data Security
Having data on the cloud means that while you may lose a physical device through theft or other circumstances, your data remains intact. This data can still be remotely wiped from the device to maintain discretion.
