Why Businesses Need toEmbrace Cloud Migration

Cloud already has arrived, and it’s time for more businesses to take the plunge. Though the technology still seems relatively new, cloud actually has been around for much longer than many might realize.

What’s changed over the years? The option to virtualize almost any computing need thanks to the rapid expansion and development of cloud offerings for business applications.

The recent explosion of cloud can be attributed in large part to the widespread availability of robust, high-speed networking that has disrupted and expanded the market. Business-class broadband networking from leading providers like Spectrum Business has enabled organizations of all sizes to fully migrate to cloud solutions.

The Benefits of Cloud SolutionsWhy should enterprises migrate to the cloud? Let’s take a look.

• Cloud is more familiar than has been considered. Any business using web-based email or online accounting software already uses the cloud. Why not achieve the same convenience and value from more virtualization?

• Cloud has little upfront cost and easy deployment. Buying business-class software is expensive and risky. Trying out cloud-based alternatives costs next to nothing to get started, and the on-boarding process comes with plenty of support and automation.

• Access from anywhere and on any device. A good Internet connection is all that a company needs for complete flexibility, remote work, and mobile access.

• Cloud cuts labor costs. Cloud vendors and agents can provide all the necessary support for leased software and systems. Companies have no need to hire more IT staff.

• Innovative solutions. The vast majority of innovation is taking place in the cloud, and every business needs to get every advantage possible. Enterprises can access the most innovative solutions through the cloud instead of relying on legacy software.

Powering the Networks that Deliver CloudCloud solutions require little more than high-speed Internet. With a reliable connection, any business can connect to the world’s cheapest, fastest, and strongest technologies via the cloud.

Business-class Internet connections can inexpensively provide more than enough bandwidth and speed for the vast majority of any business’s needs. Why not fill that bandwidth with cloud services to make better use of money that’s already being spent?

Every company can benefit from adding more cloud solutions. Work with the Spectrum Business Partner Program to deliver the fast and reliable connectivity that businesses need to get more from the cloud.
