In the past, only large corporations with big budgets were able to invest in cutting-edge technologies due to their exorbitant costs. However, thanks to recent advances in virtual storage and cloud computing, this is no longer the case. Now, an increasing number of small-to-medium sized businesses (SMBs) are investing in next-generation solutions.
In fact, 67 percent of small businesses (1–99 employees) and 81 percent of medium-sized businesses (100–999 employees) say that technology solutions help them improve business outcomes or run their businesses better, according to research from the SMB Group. What’s more, 92 percent of SMBs are now using at least one cloud business solution and 87 percent using at least one cloud infrastructure solution.
What is cloud computing capable of offering for SMBs? Cloud computing offers a wide variety of benefits, the most enticing being:
- Reduced costs
- Easier collaboration and communication
- Improved efficiencies
To reap the full benefits of the technology and support their investments, SMBS are looking toward their internal IT staff and channel partners to help them better align technologies with proposed business goals.
