Cloud Services enable convenient, on-demand network access to online computing resources such as networks, servers, storage, applications, and services that can be rapidly provisioned and utilized.
These services are typically device—and platform-independent, allowing them to be accessed from any Internet-connected device through a web browser or downloadable application. These entry points allow complete interactivity within cloud applications by users, including accessing, uploading, and downloading documents and data, creating and sharing files, and performing other normal business functions.
Cloud services allow integration and single sign-on functionality between different applications, which can share data and business intelligence, ushering in a new level of business efficiency and productivity.
The cloud offers many competitive advantages. Moving to the cloud enhances flexibility, allowing access to data and applications from anywhere with an internet connection. It promotes collaboration by enabling real-time sharing and editing of documents. Using the cloud ensures scalability, allowing businesses to adjust resources as needed quickly. The Cloud enhances security with data encryption and robust backup solutions. Additionally, it reduces costs by eliminating the need for expensive hardware and maintenance. A cloud-first approach ensures business continuity in case of unforeseen events. Overall, the cloud empowers businesses with efficient, secure, and cost-effective IT solutions, managed seamlessly by professionals.
Step 1 Analysis - Cloud Discovery and Business Needs Analysis
A discovery meeting will be conducted to understand your business needs in order to prepare a requirements document. This phase should take no longer than a week to schedule and complete.
Step 2 Assessment - Onsite Technology and Security Assessment.
Following the business needs analysis, we will conduct onsite technology and security assessments to allow us to document the existing computing infrastructure and security posture. Depending on the size and complexity of your infrastructure, this could take as little as a few days to a few weeks.
Step 3 Architect - Architect Cloud Services Solution
Using the information gathered during the business needs analysis, technology and security assessments, we will architect the appropriate cloud services solution to meet your requirements and design a project plan. This phase should take no longer than a few weeks to complete.
Step 4 Implementation, Testing, Training and Go-live
Once the cloud services project plan has been approved, scheduling of the implementation can begin. Once initial testing and QA is complete, your staff is trained on how to use your new Cloud Services. Once training is complete, a go-live date can be established. Depending on the complexity of the project and other factors, this phase could take a few weeks to several months.
