Some businesses migrate to cloud-based software systems or data storage solutions but not both.  In many cases, this is a very poor way to utilize the power of both tools.  Your business is usually better off with cloud-based storage and Software as a Service, both of which allow you to utilize a new way of accessing your information.

Why Cloud-Based and SaaS?

There are numerous benefits to migrating to a cloud-based storage and retrieval system for your data.  There are also numerous benefits to SaaS. When you combine the two, however, you truly harness the capabilities that cloud computing has to offer.  Here are some immediate benefits you gain when you move to both SaaS and cloud-based storage of data:

• A streamlined approach to information retrieval. When you move to SaaS, your employees gain access to their software tools on-the-go, no matter where they are.  By migrating your data to the cloud, you also empower them to access their files and retrieve important information from the field, making them better equipped to make on-the-spot decisions.
• Protection for your entire workforce. Believe it or not, the cloud has been shown to be safer, in many cases, than on-site data storage.  Hacking and even physical break-ins can compromise your data if it is stored on your plant site.  When your data and software is in the cloud, however, you will find that the safety measures used by your hosting company are probably much better than yours.
• A cheaper way to store and protect your data. Not only are SaaS and cloud computing more convenient, but they are likely to cost you a fraction of the price of creating your own security system or updating your software.  You save money and time, making your workforce more efficient and costing you less in overhead for technology.

It is hard to argue with the fact that the cloud has made long-distance and large-scale technology implementation possible and even simple.  If you are not yet on the cloud, the chances are that you will be very soon!
