Using the Cloud to Your Advantage with Your Office Copy Equipment
Mobility and the cloud are profoundly changing the way businesses do business. Advances in technology, led by powerful mobile computing connected to fast and ever-present networks that access intelligent services in the cloud, mean that we’re in the throes of what many say is the biggest technological revolution of recent times.
What’s more, businesses that adopt the cloud and introduce smart ways of working are reaping the rewards. According to a study conducted by George Westerman, research scientist at MIT Center for Digital Business, companies that are “digital masters” are 26 per cent more profitable than their peers in a particular industry.
“These leaders drive transformation top down,” George says. “Technology for them is not just a technology. It’s a way to rethink how their business operates. The only way to make that happen is to drive it from the top.
So how exactly is the transition from using out-of-the-box software to cloud-based systems altering working behaviours?
Share Files from Home and Across the World
The big benefit of cloud technology is that it’s an everywhere computing platform, so it gives the corporate world unparalleled mobility.
The ability to scan, share, access, edit and print documents from any device at any time makes businesses of all sizes more agile and responsive.
Consistent, Reliable, Verification and Tracking of Information
Cloud-based technologies allow companies to access sophisticated programs which can sort and validate vast quantities of data quickly, easily and often at a fraction of the cost of installed software.
Bring Your Own Device Support
One of the major benefits of cloud-based systems is that it makes flexible and collaborative working simple. With a program hosted in the cloud, employees can sign in across a range of devices. This makes it possible to run bring your own device (BYOD) schemes, which are increasingly popular as the rapid evolution of technology often means that people have access to better IT at home than at work.
Deloitte Verified
Deloitte research reveals a strong correlation between employee engagement and working collaboratively, as well as flexible working practices.
No Software Updates
Upgrading software can be a daunting task. But, because cloud service providers handle all of the maintenance aspects of cloud computing, including all security updates.
Small Business are Empowered
The cloud will automatically make small businesses global and drive greater customer satisfaction. Small businesses are now able to do a lot of things that, in the past, only large companies could do. Technology is becoming less expensive and more accessible to any size business, which will drive more global operations. Small businesses will become more competitive, as they will no longer have the same scale limitations.
Sustainability According to Microsoft
According to Microsoft, migrating to cloud-based applications can reduce organizations’ energy use and carbon footprints by 30 per cent. For small businesses, that figure can climb to 70 per cent, offering considerable financial and environmental benefits.
