Cloud Hype Turning To Adoption

Despite opinions that cloud technology is just hype and may pose security threats to data security and privacy, more and more businesses are beginning the realise that cloud technology can actually be the way forward to solving common business data and logistical problems quickly and affordably. The flexible nature of the new system, together with its ‘data on demand’ capabilities shows itself to be invaluable to firms that experience seasonal fluctuations in their trade.

A panel of Business IT experts who were gathered at a round table event being held by hosting firm UKfast this month said “No business should ignore the opportunities that cloud technology presents; the results from those that have dabbled are compelling.” Business Telecoms and IT infrastructure experts SynergyPlus are among those early adopters and hope to bring cloud technology to businesses throughout the UK and help them see the numerous benefits that it can bring to their business operations.

A SynergyPlus spokesmen said:

“We have already been interested in cloud technology and were among the early adopters who first began to realise the potential that the service can offer businesses. Managing business data is a day to day issue that all companies face, and there has long been a gap in the market for a service which increases flexibility and availability of business data. One of the most attractive aspects of cloud technology is that due to the flexibility of the platform, businesses of all sizes can use the service which can be scaled in proportion to their own business needs and objectives. It doesn’t matter if you are a one-man –band or large corporate; the benefits will still remain the same and the barrier for entry is low”.

Figures from The Cloud Industry Forum (CIF) have shown just how popular the infrastructure has become, and the rate of business that go from trial to investment. According to the figures, 48% of UK organisations have trialled the service in some form. Of that number, 94% have reported satisfaction, with 85% planning to invest more this year.

“Now that the business community is starting to get on board with cloud technology, there will be an increasing number of companies that claim to offer the full service, along with the various quality controls and data security protocols. Although this will help further enhance the profile of the service, it is important that businesses use companies who have had extensive experience in the IT sector, and as such can offer the best cloud service. SynergyPlus have worked with business IT technology for decades and always have the most secure and flexible solutions for businesses. This is why we recommend using an experience company such as for all of your technology and IT needs.”
