• Cloud computing has been around for more than
  two decades, and despite strong data supporting
  it for improved business efficiencies, cost
  benefits, and competitive advantage, many SMBs
  operate without it. Based on a study by the
  International Data Group, 69 of the businesses
  have already adopted cloud technology in some
  form or capacity. Large enterprises that invest
  in cloud computing through big data, cloud,
  mobility, and security can leverage quicker
  revenue growth than their counterparts. Top
  business leaders and enterprises recognize the
  power of the cloud, and they are using this
  technology to run their organizations better,
  serve customers, and enhance profit margins.

• Based on a report, more than 90 of businesses
  claimed an improvement in security after
  migrating to the cloud.
• With exponential growth in data creation,
  enterprises need to store, access, share, and
  secure their data on the fly. Large applications,
  as useful for personal use, are more valuable for
  enterprises that need to access large amounts of
  data. Wed like to list down 10 cool benefits of
  cloud computing for businesses.

• 1. Enhanced Cost Savings.
• Those who are attempting to weigh the advantages
  of using the cloud need to consider greater
  numbers of factors than the initial price, need
  to focus on ROI. Once on the cloud, data storage
  and access become extremely easy that saving on
  money and time. With most cloud services based on
  a pay-as-you-go model, youll only end up paying
  for features that you need. The pay-as-you-go
  model also applies to data storage to service
  clients and stakeholders, which means youll get
  exactly the space you need.

• 2. Enterprise Security.
• Many organizations have security concerns whilst
  adopting a cloud model for their business. But,
  storing files on physical drives can cause
  serious data security problems. After all, when
  files, data, and programs arent kept securely,
  it can cause serious security issues. Cloud
  computing can facilitate enterprise security
  through careful monitoring, and keeping data
  offsite. Based on a report by Rapid Scale, 94 of
  the businesses have witnessed security
  improvements after migrating to the cloud. The
  key to storing data is high-end encryption that
  is less accessible by anyone who is not allowed
  to view the data. With most cloud-based services,
  there is an added level of security on the user
  side as well. Companies that invest in big data,
  cloud computing, and data security enjoy up to
  53 quicker revenue growth.

• 3. Improved Flexibility.
• The cloud offers businesses enterprise
  flexibility over local storage. If businesses
  need extra bandwidth, a cloud-based solution or
  software can instantly meet demands rather than
  opting for perpetual updates. The enhanced
  flexibility offers a significant difference to
  the efficiency of your organization. The quick
  ability to meet enterprise demands is one of the
  most crucial reasons businesses should migrate to
  the cloud.
• 4. Better Mobility.
• Cloud computing offers enterprise mobility to
  access data over mobile devices and smartphones.
  As billions of users use smartphones on a global
  level, data operators can store, access, and
  share various data formats with teams, clients,
  or customers without the need to travel. Through
  the cloud, you can offer conveniently accessible
  information to field and remote employees for a
  better work-life balance.

• 5. Augmented Insights.
• Many cloud-based storage systems offer integrated
  cloud analytics for a birds eye view of the
  data. With information stored in the cloud,
  businesses can implement mechanisms, and create
  customized reports to analyse information through
  the organization. With these insights, you can
  enhance efficiencies, and build quick action
  plans to meet enterprise goals. For example,
  Sunny Delight, a beverage company was able to
  enhance profits by 2million/year, and cut
  195,000 in staffing costs through cloud
  insights.
• 6. Enhanced Collaboration
• If your enterprise has hundreds or thousands of
  employees, collaboration is a top priority. Cloud
  computing makes collaboration simple as users can
  view and share information easily through a
  cloud-based platform. Some cloud-based solutions
  provide collaborative spaces that help employees
  connect across the organization, thereby
  increasing engagement and interest.

• 7. Better Quality Control.
• Various things can be detrimental to the success
  of a business based on poor quality and
  inconsistent reporting. In a cloud-based system,
  every file or document is stored in one place.
  With everyone accessing the same information, you
  can maintain data consistency, avoid human error,
  and have a clear record of updates or revisions.
  Managing data in silos can lead to users saving
  documents in different versions, leading to
  confusion and data dilution.
• 8. Improved Sustainability
• Given the current state of data, it is no longer
  enough possible for organizations to leave large
  carbon footprints. Real sustainability requires
  solutions that address an environment-friendly
  approach. Hosting on the cloud is more
  environment-friendly, and leaves a lesser carbon
  footprint. It helps facilitate environmental
  proactivity through cut-down on paper
• waste, improve energy efficiency, etc. Datacenter
  energy consumption was supposed to drop by more
  than 30 by 2020 through the adoption of cloud
  computing.

• 9. Robust Disaster Recovery
• In a practical scenario, there will always be
  circumstances that are completely out of ones
  control. Even a small unproductive downtime can
  pose a negative effect that can lead to
  unproductivity, lower revenues, and poor brand
  reputation. There may be no way to anticipate or
  prevent disasters that harm your organization,
  cloud-based tech helps quick data recovery in
  every scenario. 20 of cloud users claim disaster
  recovery in 4 hours or less.
• 10. Data Loss Prevention.
• If your organization isnt investing in a cloud
  computing solution, then all your data resides on
  different computers. It might end up in losing
  your data, as computers can malfunction for
  various reasons viz. viral infections, hardware
  deterioration, etc. If your data is not on the
  cloud, your business is at risk of losing vital
  information. With cloud-based storage, all the
  information uploaded on the cloud remains safe
  and accessible from any system or mobile device..
