should you migrate To The Cloud?
Whether you are a Tech Startup, Non-profit, Healthcare provider, Professional Services, or any other business, you will definitely want to adopt cloud computing- at least in part if not completely.
However, jumping headlong without a proper strategy can lead to failure instead of grand success. You can easily find yourself gunning down the wrong track or, worse, getting locked in unwanted services and contracts.
Therefore, your first step should be building a clear road-map with a defined timeline and milestones.
Like any other service, you will also need ongoing support for cloud services. With the right plan in place, your existing IT team or a Managed IT Services provider can help you manage, customize, and scale your set of cloud services at a fraction of the cost of physical IT infrastructure.
