It seems like “cloud” is such a hot topic at the moment. Every app, every piece of software is “in the cloud” – does that mean you should be too? The thing is, cloud isn’t just a buzzword – it’s quickly becoming the future of many technologies. While not every business application or solution suits the cloud, there are still plenty of reasons why your business should at least think about adopting cloud.
When you’re running your own business, we believe that you should concentrate on what you do best – and that’s managing the business. You shouldn’t let things like worrying about onsite hardware issues, wasting time with unnecessary downtime of systems, and remembering to check the backups detract time from generating profit and improving your business. Cloud technology can help remove a lot of those burdens.
It’s also important that every business considers the scalability of their IT when expanding their business. Cloud software gives you the ability to scale on a member-to-member basis, making it really easy to plan costs for expansion or even reducing staff during the less busy times.

Working in the Cloud also allows your staff to Collaborate. Multiple people can work together from anywhere with an internet connection on the same document in real time at the same time. This is hugely powerful in enhancing cost savings and productivity. With more and more businesses now requiring staff to access company data from a variety of locations from a number of devices anywhere, at any time, the days of accessing data just from within the office walls are over. Cloud apps let your business become agile and be dynamic, giving it the ability to respond to employee and client needs quicker than ever.
Naturally security is an important aspect to a successful cloud solution so considerations towards data compliance, additional security features and the devices that access the applications is critical. Microsoft 365 offers a powerful suite of products to help with your cloud journey over an above what most people consider. Business owners have a very powerful set of tools at their disposal within their existing cloud subscriptions which are often left un-utilised.
Better yet, Microsoft’s recent reveal of its cloud-based phone system aptly titled “Business Voice” takes the 365 package to another level, allowing you to take control of your telecoms like never before.
