Why should businesses Migrate to the cloud?
Move your business to the cloud and join the cutting-edge of productivity.
By 2021, spending on cloud services and cloud-enabling hardware, software, and services will more than double to over $530 billion. 80% of application development will be on cloud platforms (PaaS) using microservices and cloud functions. Don't let your organization miss out on this growing trend of streamlined expenses and operational benefits. The Scarlett Group is here to help you with this migration. We take a three-phase approach that evaluates your organizational needs before taking action.
The Scarlett Group's Three-phase approach to Cloud Migration:
Migrating to the cloud can be beneficial for businesses for a variety of reasons. Obviously, the main reason is its cost-effective benefits. Cloud services typically operate as a “pay-as-you-go” model. Meaning users will only pay for the resources that they consume. This reduces the cost of hardware and other maintenance issues.
Additionally, cloud services promote the scalability of businesses. Having the ability to scale up in times of high demand and scale down in times of low demand can save businesses thousands of dollars on licensing and other accommodations.
Furthermore, other than the cost benefits associated with cloud solutions, they also provide reliability and availability of backup systems. Cloud solutions minimize the risk of sensitive data being lost due to hardware failures. With the cloud, users can access information from anywhere that has a reliable internet connection. The data backups that cloud services provide will promote a more secure environment for an organization.
