You may not want your head in the clouds, but you certainly want your business to be there. The migration to cloud computing is gaining momentum. According to a recent survey, more than a third of organizations see investing in cloud capabilities as one of their top three priorities for the coming year. The International Data Group estimates that nearly three-quarters of all businesses already use cloud technology.

At Lo-Key Solutions, we firmly believe that leveraging cloud-based solutions is vital for businesses today. With more and more developers building native cloud applications, companies can use the cloud to extend their capabilities, improve operating efficiency and remain competitive and innovative.

Here are some points of consideration:

It’s where the world is headed.  More and more business solutions are available via the cloud today than ever before. It’s estimated that more than one-third of technology providers’ new software investments are shifting from cloud-first to cloud-only. Immediate resource availability.  The cloud puts the IT resources you need within reach when you need them.

Cost. Cloud computing gives you the capacity you need on demand without having to pay for resources you don’t need.

Security.  Businesses in the cloud can deploy specialized technology to seek out and neutralize security threats. In one study, 94 percent of businesses say they saw an improvement in security after moving to the cloud.

Mobility.  Cloud computing allows you to access all your IT resources through mobile devices.

Better collaboration.  The cloud, by its nature, encourages more connections between locations, making it easier for teams to interact and collaborate over distance seamlessly.

Disaster recovery.  Moving IT resources and data outside of your premises protects it in case of fire, flood, break-in, or other disasters. It means you’ll be able to bounce back much more quickly after a setback.
