Cloud Solutions

Working flexibility is ever increasingly on staff, HR and business leaders agenda. It’s also about employee engagement levels by meeting the needs of a diverse workforce, especially now we have five generations in the workplace!

The cloud does give organisations agility and flexibility. It should be that agility that helps organisations meet their customer service needs better than large corporates whilst also meeting employee demand for flexibility.

Monthly application payments, just for the licenses you need can help both your bottom line and ensure your business is agile. We hugely support SME businesses and want to ensure they punch more than their weight by maximising their agility, when it comes to negotiating reports and services that can make all the difference, don’t forget big corporate ships can be clumsy and very slow to move.

I’m afraid I remember sending out several 3 ½ inch disks for a DOS application update!

Now, like most of us, each day we get a red symbol on our iPhone to let us know there’s and update for our phone applications. Expect a cloud service for your business to be as easy and effective as this.

With Wi-Fi work any time anywhere, and even without WiFi, many business applications will still run and update when you get back on-line.

And it should be automatic with the application and data being held in the cloud for you.

Any business should ensure they have a disaster recovery solution in place, looking to move your business to the cloud may be an succinct and cost effective way to win on all counts.

The main comparison is often the server application initial cost, plus the server and ongoing license fee V’s a monthly software application fee, sometimes further costs for a bespoke phone app to be integrated and or implementation fee may need to be factored.

When doing this comparison don’t forget to consider the cost of a server that meets other application within the business, not just the server application in question. All too often we get called in to upgrade server disks and processing power that were considered based only on one suppliers specification!
