There are many software terms that have been trending in the last few years, namely “cloud”, “Enterprise Mobility”, “SaaS”, “mCommerce”, “Business Continuity” and so on.

More and more small businesses are moving to the cloud and IT companies are offering more services and solutions in the cloud. This trend of cloud computing adoption is rapidly accelerating, transforming the way businesses manage their IT operations.

Why are businesses and IT service providers moving away from “on-premises”? The answer to this question is clear: cloud computing offers multiple benefits for all parties involved, regardless of the size of the company.

Small businesses, in particular, can now compete with industry giants as traditional barriers are broken down with cloud technology. Using fully integrated “cloud” solutions, such as erpWizard, allows small businesses to get ahead by ensuring rapid and efficient growth. The benefits of cloud computing include increased efficiency, significant cost reduction, predictable and affordable monthly payments, remote access, quick and easy software setup, secure business continuity, and flexible mobile solutions.

However, to take full advantage of these benefits, it is essential to choose the right IT provider. A reliable and experienced cloud computing partner is essential to ensure a perfect customer experience. Choosing a competent provider ensures that your data and applications are managed securely and reliably, allowing you to focus on growing and developing your business.

To learn more about why ‘the cloud’ is a big opportunity for small businesses, you can check out the image below from Rackspace titled “Why ‘Cloud’ is a big deal for small businesses.” It provides additional information on the specific benefits of cloud computing for small businesses.

My response was the following: ‘It’s obvious there has been a shift in business practices; more people prefer to use their mobile devices, such as their smartphone or tablet, to conduct daily tasks. What Enterprise Mobility offers is just that; employees can access their company’s management solution from their mobile device in order to do business from anywhere, at any time. It allows employees to be more productive all the while giving them more freedom.’

I often find myself writing or speaking about Business Continuity as many do not know or fully understand the concept. When I bring up this topic, many business executives assume it is simply another “backup” solution, in which they then tell me they already have one. However, our QBR Business Continuity Solution is not just a backup, but instead a complete solution helping businesses recover quickly in times of disaster. This is extremely important to know and realize one cannot compare a data backup solution and a Business Continuity solution. In a previous article, I mentioned the differences between data backup and business continuity, however today I will explain the differences between all 3 commonly used IT security terms; Data Backup, BDR and Business Continuity.
