Though the cloud is still a fairly new concept, especially in regards to use within businesses and organizations, it is one way you can boost profits at your company. A new study was done by Exact and Pb7 Research showing that small businesses are more profitable and more efficient when they use cloud services, according to Tech Republic. After taking a look at the findings, you’ll be more likely to switch to more cloud-based platforms like Console for your company.
Methodology and Statistics
The survey looked at 750 small businesses with less than 50 employees and compared the findings to determine what made one business more successful than the other. There were participants from all over the world, which also showed that there was more cloud-based use within businesses in the US than anywhere else in the world with 51% of businesses using cloud software in some form, though the UK was a close second with 47% of businesses having adapted some cloud services. When speaking with businesses, it was clear that the cloud had clear purposes such as creating better security for company files, no maintenance to programs, more productivity, and the ability to access from anywhere. People who are able to work from anywhere without extra programs and maintenance to keep up are able to get more done.
Access to information anywhere
The biggest advantage to having a cloud based system for small businesses is being able to access information anywhere. As a small business owner, you are able to stop working whenever you want or need for company events, holidays, or even family emergencies, but this also means that sometimes you have to make up work at weird hours. Instead of always having to drive into the office to make up the work, you can just pull open your phone or computer from wherever you go and get started. It saves so much time and allows for people to get more work done. Businesses that are getting more work done are going to be making more money than others.
