Cloud Technology and The IT Department

If you asked…What has changed the landscape in the last several years of the IT Departments the most? Hands-down, Cloud Technology. It’s changing Telecom and technology in general, but of course IT Departments are usually the day-to-day players here. With an increasing number of employees utilizing mobile devices (BYOD) and increasing capabilities within the Cloud, the game has changed.

The ease and flexibility of Cloud technology is revolutionary- you just can’t beat it. Another factor is reduced spending- get more with the Cloud. Small business can communicate and run their operations as efficiently as a large business would. This is a significant competitive edge. The benefits are numerous as we learn more about how businesses adopt and adapt to Cloud Computing.

Security is typically number one when it comes to an enterprise’s data and communications and this is where the learning curve for IT Departments remains today as they select, maintain, and utilize Cloud technology to its fullest potential. A Cloud Firewall service is very useful if a business feels security could be jeopardized with Cloud service. As much as the technology develops here, the solutions to any caveats will keep pace.

At this point IT Departments should begin preparing for Cloud technology as it becomes the latest trend that’s here to stay for quite some time.

(Telecommunications) Agents and The Cloud

Recent media has everyone from small business owners to telecom agents, talking about cloud computing. What does it mean for everyone? Certainly we’re becoming more aware of the advantages and disadvantages thus far. Agents who are looking to provide solutions for clients, and add one more option to their portfolio, might find the cloud useful. IT and others are always concerned about the cloud and security. Security is one of those issues in any area that as advances are made in technology, so are the security boundaries stretched as well both those trying to protect and those trying to invade.

The most important factor in agents working with the cloud is being knowledgeable about it. There are many things to learn, especially concerning where the cloud fits into various types of businesses and clients’ needs. Basically, agents need to be smart about it because the cloud can be a selling advantage. Agents must be familiar with the questions clients are asking- relieving fear and doubts and instilling information and knowledge instead. Some clients won’t even know what questions to ask or where to start so agents can use this opportunity to begin a conversation about the cloud to prospective clients.

What the agent should find, and may already realize, is the cloud should be utilized for businesses and clients that will truly benefit for it. Provide answers and info as objective as possible, giving clients a chance to get informed without sales pressure.
