The Benefits of Cloud Computing

cloud data solutions Dizzion partner OneNeck, an IT Solutions provider, recently wrote a great blog titled Break Down the Barriers to Cloud Migration. The post discusses how over time organizations – particularly enterprise level – have moved from considering cloud solutions insecure and a threat to control and data safety to now adopting cloud-first and even cloud-only approaches.

Not only have cloud solutions matured over time, but threats to data security have also changed. Now, the post points out, cloud solutions are often more secure than traditional on premise approaches. OneNeck’s blog specifically looks at how opinions toward cloud solutions have changed in four key areas:

Security
Compliance
Staffing
Cost

Now, if organizations are still dragging their feet when adopting cloud solutions, they could be doing active harm to their business. From OneNeck:

“In the not-too-distant past, most companies were taking a wait-and-see approach to the cloud, as the downside outweighed its potential opportunities. Fast forward to today, and those barriers have fallen away. Organizations that hesitate to migrate to the cloud are those most likely to fall behind the competition.”

This deep understanding of cloud solutions and the ability to help businesses find and implement the right services for their needs is what makes the Dizzion-OneNeck partnership a natural fit. OneNeck is correct that security, compliance, staffing and cost have changed from barriers to benefits in regard to cloud solutions. Rather than tackling those difficult to manage aspects entirely in-house, organizations can lean on cloud solution providers and service experts to lend a helping hand – and often get a better product as a result.

The key to ensuring that cloud solutions don’t put your environment and data at risk is to choose your vendors carefully. Look for providers like Dizzion and OneNeck that exhibit subject matter expertise and have built their services specifically to address security, compliance and any other area you’re looking to get particular help in. Migrating to the cloud is a smart decision for many reasons, but that doesn’t mean you should let your guard down. Choose the right partners to show you the way and help you maintain security and control.
