Trapp Technology’s Cloud solutions are designed for organizations of all sizes, including Small Business!
Businesses of all sizes are migrating to the cloud in droves, but small businesses need to pay particular attention to how the cloud can let them experience benefits never before possible. In 2012, U.S.-based small businesses used 4 cloud-based services on average, up from 1 in 2009. That number will grow to an average of 7 cloud-based services by 2015.
Why Cloud for Small Business?
Cloud computing is an accessible way for small business owners to save time and money. Here are just a few benefits of cloud computing for small businesses.
Cost reduction:
Building, establishing, and maintaining in-house servers can be incredibly costly. Cloud-hosted servers gives you enterprise level computing power while minimizing IT requirements and physical storage, providing a significant savings. Small businesses often don’t have the resources to have an IT department on-staff, so the cloud is a fantastic alternative.
Anytime, Anywhere Access:
When your software or applications are cloud hosted, your users are granted access to their files anytime, anywhere, using any device. You can work from home, on the road, or at a client’s place of business with ease.
Increased Collaboration:
If you have an external bookkeeper, you can easily share your financial documents with them by implementing different levels of password protected access.
Decreased Risk:
The cloud backs up your data in a secure data center, so you don’t have to deal with running back ups. Your data is under lock and key. If you’re on a cloud with dedicated resources, your files are even safe from other cloud users.
Incredible Flexibility:
Hopefully, your small business will grow, leading to a need for more technology resources. You can never outgrow the cloud as it is a scalable solution.
Migrating to the cloud means that the sky’s the limit — your IT infrastructure can evolve alongside your business. Small businesses need to be able to save money while increasing productivity, and the cloud allows you to do just that.
