And there is also a reason why more companies are turning to the cloud to take advantage of its many benefits such as lower capital expenditure, easier maintenance and upgrades, increased flexibility, mobility and scalability, enhanced business continuity and improved IT security.
In fact, according to a recent survey, one out of four organizations is heavily invested in cloud computing – meaning they are using the cloud as a “strategic initiative to transform business.” Further, more than half of businesses in the United States are now using cloud computing for IT purposes.
Cloud computing allows businesses to source IT services without taking on the cost of investing in additional IT infrastructures. Also, IT personnel don’t have worry about managing applications in the cloud because the responsibility falls on the shoulders of the cloud computing provider. Even more, employees have anytime, anywhere access to critical business data and remote working capabilities. This is particularly important in the manufacturing environment.
