Tip of the Week: 2 Ways Cloud Computing Can Fuel Productivity

These days, we use a lot of cloud platforms. They can enhance productivity through improving access, and they allow a business to do more with their capital. For this week’s tip, we thought we’d look at two ways the cloud can help your business excel with its newly-remote workforce.

Utilizing Remote Access

With the COVID-19 outbreak making things difficult for many businesses, having a solution that allows your staff to remotely access internal resources can be an important strategy to keep organizational productivity up. These days most of your business’ most crucial information is stored in secure databases, not in filing cabinets. By having access to a tool that can provide the resources your staff needs to be productive, they can help your business be more efficient and productive. 

Today, there are many different cloud services. By hosting data, applications, or even entire virtualized computing environments in the cloud, your staff will have the access to the resources they need from any device from anywhere. 

Scalability

COVID-19 has been a bane for almost everyone. The business that is now forced to cut costs will be thankful for cloud resources. Not only can your organization scale your cloud resources up and back based on users and demand, it can also present your business with affordable options that can be a godsend in times like this. Additionally, the scalability of cloud computing resources means that you aren’t stuck paying too much for your IT, regardless of the resources you need to utilize.
