Not-for-profits gain big advantages from the cloud

Not-for-profits gain big advantages from the cloud The cloud as a business model has already taken private enterprise to the next level, driving big advantages including lower capital expenditures, ease of use and rapid deployment. Charitable organisations, always looking for new ways to stretch out a pound or two, are logical candidates. Those charities which have taken the step to move to the cloud have demonstrated clear benefit. Charitable organisations are often held to a higher standard, striving to remain accountable not only to governmental bodies, but also to donors, board members, and ultimately, the constituents they serve. Operating and capital expenses are scrutinized—and charities ultimately must attend to not only the benevolent service they provide, but the mechanics of how they provide it.

Considerations

No doubt you recall the old adage ‘if you fail to plan then you plan to fail’. Nowhere is this more relevant than when you are deciding on what Cloud strategy to adopt within your business.

With larger businesses it is more an issue of complexity and competing priorities.

Mobile and Remote Working

Ten years ago, the idea of storing business-critical information online, or working exclusively with Web-based productivity tools, would have been considered ludicrous. The Web was a medium of communication, not a platform for business productivity; daily work and business-critical data was confined mainly to fixed locations – desktops, hard drives, and local servers.

Cloud Services, which are IT Solutions and Services delivered and consumed real time over the Internet, have now become an integral part of daily operations for small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs). Cloud Services give small businesses the benefits of not having to install and maintain their own physical IT infrastructure like servers and software.
