Cloud computing is showing signs of maturity to be ready to offer complete enterprise IT solutions. Many organizations are shifting their complete IT operation to cloud to run apps, store data and get reliable backup solutions. Cloud computing has made IT easier and more efficient for businesses. Availability of as-a-service solutions (cloud-based applications) has made business applications easily available over the internet. Online CRM, ERP and CMS solutions are currently all the rage. IT departments are advised to sail with the cloud instead of fighting it to improve the level of efficiency and therefore, the viability of their departments in an IT environment.

Cloud computing architecture service providers are constantly modernizing their service structure to make it more secured, efficient and responsive to user demands.

According to experts, small businesses in particular can derive immense benefit from transferring their IT requirements to the cloud. In this post we will discuss the many-faceted benefits that cloud offers to an enterprise environment.

Meet changing business requirements: Cloud can help you in meeting escalated business demands without making additional investments in your organization’s IT infrastructure. Cloud offers scalability that allows users to easily expand their IT capacity in the virtual environment. The process can also be fully automated which frees the IT department from manually monitoring changing capacity requirements. Most cloud services offered now are provision-based implying that the IT capacity is elastic and can be adjusted to the change in demand.

Easy deployment: You can start using the cloud almost immediately. Unless you plan to implement private cloud environment, you don’t need to build the infrastructure required to support virtualization. Infrastructure can also be deployed over the cloud upon which you can develop and host your set of applications. This helps you enjoy a competitive edge over your competitors.

Easy administration: Outsourcing your IT requirements frees you from a lot of headache. Deploying your business to cloud makes IT administration easier and hassle free. It reduces dependency on IT staff and infrastructure. Applications running on the cloud are easier to manage and data is backed up in data centers secured and monitored by a Cloud service provider. Cloud solutions thus make IT administration and compliance easier.

Better control: Some may argue otherwise, but cloud offers you better control over your network. Your cloud administrator will have full access to monitor the systems in the network no matter where they are located. He can further control IT resource provisioning, data movement and accessibility in a cloud environment.

Re-utilize your resources: Cloud helps you free up the resources previously engaged in managing the IT environment. It frees up space, releases capital investment and helps you reduce dependency on IT department. As a result, the resources can be used for business growth and expansion. Cloud computing services are usually charged on a per user subscription model and hence, do not require investment towards licensing, purchasing applications or servers.

Make collaboration easier: Cloud has made it easier to connect with your remotely located teams to create a collaborative platform of operation. Ubiquitous cloud has made it possible for teams located at different geographies and time-zones to work on a single platform without entering into complexities of building a complex network. All the data is stored in the cloud and when one team updates something the results are immediately available to the others across the network.

Create integrated platform: Earlier enterprises were siloed which restricted the flow of information across the organization. But the cloud has made it possible to create a unified platform where knowledge can be disseminated across the organizational structure. Unified data helps with decision making and builds forward-looking enterprises.

Become innovative: Freed up resources allow you to be more innovative enabling you to concentrate on your main operation. Cloud platform allows you to develop, test and host applications for your enterprise. Further, you can create a collaborative platform by transferring your legacy applications to virtualized environment.
