The hardest part about moving your business from on-site technology to cloud based products and services is changing your mindset. As a business owner, you are worried about making sure your business runs smoothly, data stays safe and employees work at optimum efficiency. Datasmith can guarantee that a cloud based solutions plan will make your business run smoother, data stays safer, and employee work faster. But how can we ease your mind about the transition?

This month we will be focusing on explaining how we go about moving your on-site servers, technology, and devices to cloud based solutions. This will lead up to our first “Breakfast and Learn” event on September 23, 2015. But before we explain how we do it, we want to share some tips for getting yourself, and your business, ready for the transition.

1) Think Like A Start Up

Whether you have been running your business for decades, or started your business a year ago, it’s time to think like a start-up: researching the newest, most innovative, and effective ways to run your company. How can you create an environment where your employees are able to work quickly, effectively, and without disruption?

2) Give Up Some Control

Do you need one person on-board who knows the exact inner workings of your email? Another person who’s responsible for coordinating new phone extensions? A whole server to keep every back-up of Windows since you opened? By relinquishing some basic control to products like Office 365, RingCentral, and Azure you can dedicate your employees fully to their jobs and let the pros handle your email infrastructure and IP addresses.

3) Be Flexible

The traditional 9-5 work day is slowly fading away. As it does so will the need for more accommodating business tools. Cloud based solutions allow your business to operate any time, wherever you want. It takes time to adjust to the capabilities of these new technology solutions. But rest assured that we design a plan that meets your business needs. We will provide options, ideas, and suggestions to optimize business performance.

Transitioning to the cloud can seem daunting, but by thinking out of the box and considering all your options you can prepare yourself, and your business for the transition. Datasmith is here to prove to you that these cloud-based solutions are easy to use, easy to implement, and provide lasting improvements to your business. Stay tuned for how we begin a transition into the cloud.
