Cloud Services

The cloud is generating a lot of buzz because it provides real advantages to companies of every size, but what does the cloud really mean? The cloud isn’t a new type of technology. Instead, it’s a different way of using existing technology that allows businesses and consumers to benefit from shared resources.

In general, the cloud refers to shared computer resources, including power, software, data, and storage. Clouds may be public, such as online file sharing sites like Google Docs or Salesforce.com, or private, such as online corporate networks. Private clouds may be operated by an individual business or outsourced to a hosted private cloud run by a technology provider, such as FIT Technologies.

The cloud offers:

Reduced Costs: By leveraging group purchasing power, you can enable faster adoption and lower spending on tech staff, licensing fees, security, and more.

Increased Efficiency: By enabling staff to work from any location, including their home, a client site, or on the go through a mobile device, they can be more productive

Enhanced Edge: By using the cloud, you can make bigger technology leaps faster because you aren’t invested in enterprise-wide systems like your larger competitors.

Focused Resources: By outsourcing with cloud services, you can reduce your reliance on technical staff for certain tasks, so that you can pay for expertise as needed, or have staff focus on other projects.

Mitigated Risk: By entrusting a cloud technology partner to provide infrastructure, support, security, and disaster recovery, you can gain near-perfect uptime and reduce hardware failures and outages.

As a cloud services provider, FIT Technologies can determine where the cloud makes the most sense for your business or organization and what kind of benefits you can expect. Then, based on your timeline and budget, we’ll migrate your operations to the cloud. We can then provide ongoing cloud maintenance or enable your staff to manage the day-to-day once the transition is complete.
