CONSIDERING A MOVE TO THE CLOUD?
There’s a lot to think about with any operational change – especially one that involves core business systems. But migrating your communications to the cloud is not as risky or complicated as it may seem. With a bit of planning, making the switch can be relatively simple and straightforward - and lead to big benefits.

WHY CLOUD COMMUNICATIONS?
Your phone system plays a critical role in your business operations and in your company’s success. But with more employees working from home and on the go, increasingly global markets, and ever-changing customer demands, today’s workforce requires decision makers to think beyond the traditional phone systems of days past.

If you’re like many businesses, the only time you think about your phone system is when it’s not working. But the ‘set it and forget it’ mindset can cost you in more ways than one. The way we work – and how a business interacts with its customers – has changed.

Alleviating the Workload for IT
Time – or more precisely, the lack of it – is the biggest daily headache for most IT managers. Often working with limited resources and a small team, they still have to shoulder an immense set of responsibilities. In addition to new growth initiatives, there are multiple systems to maintain and often multiple locations to support.

In its projections for cloud services, Gartner sees a widely expanding market. The analyst firm says the overall public cloud market will grow by 16.5% and be worth $204 billion by the end of 2016. In addition, the markets for Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) are all set to grow between 20% and 40% as enterprises seek to cut data center costs and deploy systems and databases over more cost-effective networks.

If you want to spend less time managing infrastructure and more time focusing on your core business objectives, it’s time to consider the cloud. Step back and take a fresh look at the forces affecting your business.
