Perhaps you have been in circumstances that caused you to consider that maybe you might want to move your Office into the Cloud? A number of people have answered "yes" and gone on to go about doing it. Most folks never really consider it very seriously, just go on to something else... Most believe that it's a lot harder than it truly is, so that they never start. The aspect of perhaps being required to perform a little work puts others off. Others just consider it much too low a priority to be really worth bothering with.
Now just hang on here a moment! Are those really legitimate reasons? What consideration was given to the reasons for? Was there enough info on which to base a reasonable decision? The possible benefits do not seem to have been completely thought through...
Perhaps that would need a little bit more thought... Maybe we ought to take into account say, 5 reasons why maybe you should move your Office into the Cloud and work those into your decision process.
First of all, backup is not that big of a problem. Right, I can understand your objection that you want to hold the backup tapes in your hand and have 3 month of recovery, but online backup can do this as well. Actually much better than you can. That is most certainly an astute observation. However, consider this, most small businesses that buy and maintain their own servers never really have a good backup strategy. So the day when you really need to restore a 2 month old file, you find out that you backup tapes only hold 1 month of data. Even more, consider that online services e.g. Dropbox saves a history of all deleted and earlier versions of files for 30 days for all Dropbox accounts by default.
Second, if you are paranoid, you could always create a backup of the backup each day with services like iDrive, Mozy and many others. The reason that is true is that online backup is becoming quite normal and very cheap. That is why it really works out that, Cloud computing is the way to go, at least for entrepreneurs and small business owners.
Third, total cost of ownership in the Cloud is next to nothing compared to buying your own server. Additionally, you could risk theft, power outage and hardware failure when hosting your server in your own Office!
Fourth, you will get access from almost any device like Apple iPad, Samsung Galaxy, Smart phones, PC, Mac, Linux from anywhere in the world.
And lastly, you and your workers will be much more productive.
So just look at those points and examine them in your mind. All 5 reasons are persuasive points that explain why you might want to consider cloud computing.
Look them over again and consider every one of those points. Don't you think that perhaps, just perhaps, you really should move your Office into the Cloud?
