How start-ups are leveraging the benefits of cloud computing?

According to a tech spend study report, cloud spending has surpassed most of the on-premise based software spending especially during the current times when the entire world is under the grip of a pandemic. And as per the report, it is expected that organizations are looking at increasing workload on the cloud by a staggering 21% in 2020-2021.

Why are companies choosing cloud services?

The market research company of Vanson Bourne conducted a study and found that companies who adopted cloud gained a 20.66% average growth in time to market. Bringing in the cloud also improved process efficiency by 18.80% and reduced IT costs by about 15.07%. Combining all these aspects, an average of 19.63% increase was reported in the company’s growth. These benefits have driven the cloud adoption at a pace never seen before. To understand this drive of cloud acceptance we must see how companies are leveraging the benefits of the cloud through the various services such as:

On premise cloud
Infrastructure as Service
Platform as a Service
Software as Service

How are companies leveraging the benefits of the cloud?

Cloud provides an array of benefits because of its dynamic design and the features it is offering to its users. So some of these benefits include:

Easy and fast set up of remote workplaces: The cloud enables you to set up a location independent work ecosystem that allows your employees the ease and support of working remotely. Many companies that have utilized cloud services especially during the Covid-19 are now enjoying seamless operating processes.

Flexibility to scale: Cloud services are profoundly adaptable; your group can increment or decrement resources based on requirements. This helps to scale up your cloud setup to many and form a complete cloud ecosystem for all the processes carried out in the organization.

Industry-standard security: There is a floating rumor that only when the company grows bigger it requires security in its all operations. But hackers waiting to attack don’t see the size of the organization. This is especially true in the case of smaller companies or startups who are equally vulnerable to cyber attacks and the only way to ensure complete security is to deploy cloud security infrastructure. Migrating to cloud security infrastructure will enable you to successfully manage all minor and major security concerns. Additionally, if a third-party cloud service provider is hired they bring in features like 24/7 customer support and specialized team to look after your cloud security infrastructure.

Efficient collaboration increases productivity: With24/7 data access companies are enabling employees to access, download, edit, upload, correct and share the content any time from anywhere. Cloud allows companies to have a virtual real-time collaboration on projects, which means working together from a remote location. This helps employees improve productivity and reduce the time required to complete the task or project. Most of the cloud integration allows you to automate processes that are repetitive and time-consuming in nature. The startups also use these automated integrations to extract data and improve their efficiency and to capture more customers.

Agility in all levels and faster product delivery to market: Cloudenables the companies to adopt agile models that help them with quick provisioning of computing assets and scaling those assets to line up with changing business needs. The organization can facilitate the framework and processing assets they need, when required and afterwards downsize when they are not, at points when not required. This helps to reduce costs and allows companies to launch their products in the market at a faster pace.

Disaster recovery planning: It is expensive to keep data saved locally and also there is a potential risk of loss of data. Thus, companies adopt the cloud where you don’t have to worry about system failure as the data is stored virtually. Also, creating virtual disaster recovery storage, gives you the flexibility to access the data from anywhere and at any time.
