Cloud 101: The Cloud is Here to Stay July 18, 2024 – Posted in: Cloud Computing, IT Support – Tags: , , ,

Cloud solutions and subscription-based apps are swiftly becoming the most common type of software. You may have good reasons to maintain an on-premises server for some services, beginning to move the services you can to the cloud before you have to is a good idea.

Exchange server (on-premises email software) is receiving fewer and fewer upgrades and the whole program could be declared end-of-life within the next decade. Email in the cloud is where Microsoft wants businesses to go, and going with them tends to make everything work more smoothly.

If you’re reviewing new software solutions for Accounting, CRM, or anything else you should factor in cloud-based options for your review. Bear in mind that signing up for a long term contract or paying out to move your data to a new system that locks you into keeping an on-premises server could cost more in the long run.

Whether any, or all cloud services are right for your business will depend on your needs. If you’d like help reviewing the options available and the likely costs of each option give us a call on 01245 265 100 or email .
