Top 10 Reasons for Not Moving Your Business to the Cloud in 2012
Marcy Hoffman

#9. Scalability: The business climate is tough and you can’t worry about potential growth. The Cloud allows companies to scale their business’ storage needs seamlessly, using and paying for only what they use, but why worry about the future now?
#8. Automatic Updates: Your Company has been using the same software for years and the provider sends those pretty CDs for every update. You then get to use the extended quality time to bond with your staff while you plow through the upgrade efforts. The Cloud eliminates the need for IT to worry about paying for your future updates in terms of software and hardware, but what will your staff use for coasters?
#7. Remote Access: The Cloud allows your employees, partners, and client’s freedom to access and update information wherever they are, without having to run back to the office. Don’t you want your team sitting at their desks all day instead of being on the road meeting with potential clients?
#6. Disaster Relief: Disasters come along so infrequently that why worry about the occasional flood, storm, or hurricane? It’s true that the Cloud safely stores everything on secure data centers, accessible anywhere employees have an internet connection, but with your PCs and servers safely tucked away in your old coat closets, your business has nothing to worry about.
