8 reasons to move to the cloud

Why make the shift to the cloud?

Cloud is an inescapable trend. But does it really pay to make the shift?

Owning and maintaining your own infrastructure on premise can be expensive and costly – both from maintaining equipment and the physical space to host it. Buying enough on-premise infrastructure can also be a challenge to plan capacity, with the result being that you are paying for too much or too little space.

With the cloud revolution, you can quickly obtain the ability to swiftly jump on new opportunities and plan for new business demands. Here's eight good reasons for doing so.

By moving to the cloud, you can:

Control costs of equipment purchases, IT resources, and physical storage premises
Pay only for what you use with elasticity that on-premises infrastructure does not offer
Scale up or down with the capacity and agility you need for modern business opportunities
Stay current with new software updates and features
Benefit from the leading-edge security patches to protect your business from cyber threats or the risk of regulatory fines
Best-in-class technology from the leading vendors to capitalise on automation and other new technologies
Innovate and use data at your fingertips with analytics and dashboards from SaaS solutions
