If someone told you “Your head is in the Clouds,” you’d be thought of as daydreaming and unproductive. But today putting your business in the cloud can be the most productive thing you can do. Most of us don’t specialize in managing computer networks and hardware; we make money spending time in our businesses. Putting all the administration of hardware, software and networks on somebody who specializes in it frees us up to truly be more productive with our companies.
Manage information, not equipment
Not too long ago, we spent a lot of resources managing equipment, and fixing and securing the computer on the desktop. In reality nobody makes money fixing Jane’s computer so she can run Excel. The real value for our companies is in the information, giving Jane the data she needs to make better decisions.
When I started my career, work was based around being “in” the office. When I left at 5:00 PM, work turned off. Work was tied to the devices on my office desk. Fast-forward to today: work is now device independent. It’s 24/7: anywhere I have a connection for my mobile device. Work from home, no brainer, work on vacation – expected.
Companies need to understand the real value (their company’s IP) is in the data, not the device. Spending time managing and securing information is the new productivity tool. Making it easy for users to access what they need, when they need it, will raise overall productivity by magnitudes.
Cloud systems provide robustness and integrity that a normal company can’t afford. Redundant power sources, redundant internet connections, hot equipment fail-over and a 99.999% availability, all with no effort from us.
