Users all over the world have already appreciated advantages of cloud services, but some Ukrainian entrepreneurs still rely on local solutions. With this in mind, we compiled a short list of arguments on why it’s better to outsource IT services in 2017.  

Some companies are guided by the rule «near is my shirt, but nearer is my skin», others are concerned about entrusting their data to outsourcers, while for some businesses IT services still remain something uncommon. In this article, we’ll dwell on advantages of transition to cloud technologies and we’ll try to bust some myths related to such solutions.  

Cloud technologies enable access to all required data regardless your location. All you need to use your data is the Internet connection, a device to access the network, a login, and password. You are not restricted by your location, time or other people. It’s only you and your data out there.  

All data stored in the «cloud» is secured by several levels of protection, as the company specializing in cloud tech services has far more resources for the data protection compared to an average business. The remote location of servers ensures an additional level of security: thus you are protected from any accidental water spills by the cleaning lady or fires, as well as more serious threats, such as seizure of servers by the law enforcement agencies. In case something of the aforementioned happens you will still have access to data. Even if something will go wrong with a server, cloud solutions’ providers always ensure the data backup which minimizes the risk of the information loss.       

The application of ready-made solutions is always cheaper compared to creation and maintenance of IT infrastructure from the scratch. You’ll be able to change the number of users easily without any interference into the IT infrastructure. All unpleasant routine related to its update, maintenance, and servicing is the concern of the cloud services provider. Thus, you shouldn’t care about creating a separate IT department in your company.  

Currently, the competition for customers is very intense among numerous cloud tech services’ providers. These companies are aware that the customer is free in his choice and can revert to their competitors anytime. That’s why every cloud tech market player is customer-oriented and cares not only about the quality of the provided services but is also ready to negotiate conditions important to a particular client.  

5. Shared access  

The major and most obvious advantage of cloud tech is the shared access to the working environment. It allows to create a unified network for the work on different business tasks. For instance, the cooperation of a company with a client envisages a permanent exchange of large amounts of information which has to be stored for further analysis, reports’ drafting, etc.  

Cloud tech services enable effective cooperation of companies which are not interconnected within a single software environment. Furthermore, such type of cooperation allows to avoid duplication of tasks, as every user of the system performs the assigned part of the project. The system allows tracking of the process of tasks performance in real time, which provides an understanding of their stages of its completion. Of course, these are only a few strong arguments to switch to the application of cloud tech solutions. All advantages of such services can be understood only in process of their application.   

Cloud tech services are the best solution in case you want to receive 24/7 access to your data which can be used by all your employees and business partners. Cloud tech allows not only to keep your data protected but to save money as well.
