Why Your Small Business Should Move to Cloud Computing

Do you run a small business? Have you moved to the cloud yet? If you haven’t, you’re one of a quickly shrinking minority—every day, more and more small businesses are turning to cloud computing as their new IT solution. Here’s why:

For large companies, locating the capital required to build an infrastructure, license software, and hire extra personnel to run an in-house IT setup is not an obstacle; small companies, however, can find those costs to be prohibitive. Cloud computing is the one technology that has managed to open the door for small businesses to improve their efficiency while simultaneously cutting their computing costs by more than half. With a hosting provider like NovelASPect, a small company simply pays a set monthly fee, and they gain access to a higher-performance system than they would ever be able to afford on their own—and they pay only for what they’re using, when they’re using it, since our cloud services are entirely scalable and individualized.

Since NovelASPect was formed, we’ve seen how dramatic savings can be for companies that we help move to the cloud. One of our clients, for instance—a San Francisco-based biotech firm—saves more than 70% on their IT costs as a result of their decision to utilize NovelASPect’s hosting services. Because there’s no need for server room buildout, office wiring, or servers with NovelASPect, they have benefited from hugely reduced capital costs; and because the desktop support, server maintenance and support, email exchange, and account management we provide comes at a fraction of the cost of the in-house model, their operational costs stay low as well. On top of all that, they can rest safe with the knowledge that we automatically provide all of our clients with disaster recovery at no extra cost—so no matter what, their data is safe.

If your small business is spending far more than it can afford on IT services—or even if you simply want to increase productivity and streamline the way you run things—consider cloud computing. With your IT infrastructure in the cloud, you’ll discover a greater flexibility, efficiency, and security than an in-house IT setup could ever offer—at a remarkably affordable price.
