CLOUD SERVICES

DEVICE AND LOCATION INDEPENDENT ACCESS TO BUSINESS APPLICATIONS

WORK ANYWHERE, ANYTIME, AND SAVE

Cloud computing, or cloud services, delivers computing resources, including servers, storage, databases, networking, software, and analytics, over the Internet on a pay-as-you-go basis. Users can access computing resources and services from cloud providers on demand and work anywhere, anytime, across various Internet-connected devices instead of owning and maintaining physical infrastructure.

Cloud services allow users to scale computing resources down or up rapidly and efficiently in response to changing demand. They also provide the flexibility to experiment, innovate, and quickly deploy new applications and services.

Cloud services enable organizations to leverage powerful computing resources, improve efficiency and security, accelerate innovation, and drive digital transformation in today’s fast-paced, dynamic business environment.

Possibilities

Reduce up-front investment and ongoing maintenance costs.
Work anywhere, anytime, on any device.
Improve team collaboration in the Cloud.
Reduce risk by backing up data offsite.
Improve efficiency by eliminating maintenance and upgrade costs

"92% of businesses have a multi-cloud strategy in place or in the works."

UNLEASH BUSINESS BENEFITS NEVER BEFORE POSSIBLE

Cloud services offer various ways to leverage the benefits of the cloud and enable your technology to evolve in accordance with your business needs. You can choose the best option for your business from Private Cloud, Public Cloud, or Hybrid Cloud solutions. In a Hybrid Cloud solution, some of your business assets and functions are kept on-premise while some are moved to the cloud.

Cloud services provide you with new options that support your business growth in a controllable, scalable, and cost-effective way. You only pay for the services you consume, a pay-as-you-go fee structure.

HOW IT WORKS

Cloud Services provide convenient, on-demand network access to online computing resources such as networks, servers, storage, applications, and services that can be swiftly provisioned and utilized.

These services are independent of device and platform, thus allowing them to be accessed from Internet-connected devices via a web browser or an app. This allows users to interact entirely with cloud applications, including accessing, uploading, and downloading documents and data, creating and sharing files, and performing other business functions.

Cloud Services allow seamless integration and single sign-on functionality between different applications that share data and business intelligence, ushering in a new level of business efficiency and productivity.

PAIN POINTS SOLVED

01

Reduce Capital Investments and TCO

Cloud Services reduce capital investments by eliminating the necessity to purchase computing infrastructure for these services and associated maintenance.

02

Increase Business Productivity and Efficiency

By allowing business functions to continue regardless of location or device, increased business productivity and efficiency are realized as long as Internet connectivity is available.

03

Improve Security and Collaboration

Cloud Services fuel collaboration among teams. Encrypted and cloud-backed up files, documents, and data enhance data security and are available from anywhere.

04

Lower IT Maintenance and Support Costs

The upstream cloud vendor bears the costs of ongoing maintenance, patching, updating, and support for Cloud Services, reducing the need for internal or third-party IT support.

IMPLEMENTATION TIMELINE

Our security assessments usually take two days to complete for a typical small office location. Once we complete the assessment, we will need approximately a week to analyze the information gathered during the discovery meeting and the penetration testing. After that, we will be able to schedule a meeting with you during the following week to present our findings and recommendations.

STEP ONE: ANALYSIS

Cloud Discovery and Business Needs Analysis

A discovery meeting is conducted to understand your business needs and prepare a requirements document. This phase takes up to a week to schedule and complete.

STEP TWO: ASSESSMENTS

Onsite Technology and Security Assessment

After the business needs analysis, we will conduct on-site technology and security assessments to document your existing computing infrastructure and security posture. Depending on the size and complexity of your infrastructure, this could take a few days or weeks.

STEP THREE: SOLUTION

Architect Cloud Services Solution

Using the information gathered during the business needs analysis, and technology, and security assessments, we will architect the appropriate cloud services solution to meet your requirements and design a project plan. This phase should take no longer than a few weeks to complete.

STEP FOUR: GO-LIVE

Implementation, Testing, Training, and Go-live

Implementation scheduling can begin once the cloud services project plan has been approved. Once the initial testing and QA are complete, your staff is trained to use your new Cloud Services. Once training is complete, a go-live date can be established. Depending on the project's complexity and other factors, this phase could take several weeks to months.
