Lost in the Clouds…?

If you’ve been working the rounds of the information-communication technology circuit for some time, the words “cloud computing” will have piqued your curiosity. It is basically a special Internet-based storage system that allows for secure connections without a need for cables, but handled by a paid server team. A reputable IT services provider may even pitch them to you as a way to upgrade your business’ computer systems, but what are the functions often available when you use them? Here are some:
Email and files
Corporate email directories enable easy communications between employees separated by time and distance. Setting up the email network in a cloud server is a suitable alternative to buying your own email server hardware. As long as all employees are logged into the company’s cloud account, they can freely share content as circumstances permit. Your IT provider can arrange for increasing the file storage size.
Customer Databases
It pays to keep track of all your business’ customers, especially the repeat patrons. A cloud-based customer relations management system securely protects the database and enables access only to concerned people on your team.
Prepositioned Asset Storage
Disaster continuity operations can be tedious when the business’ physical location has been compromised to some degree. On a bright note, a cloud server may be accessed to help the team get back together with files on-hand.
A cloud computing system can be the wave of the business’ future. Do you want to go up there?
