With So Many Cloud Options Picking the Best One Can Be Dizzying

With So Many Cloud Options Picking the Best One Can Be Dizzying

Technology plays an integral part in just about all modern businesses in some way, shape or form. Without a place to purchase devices, however, no one can reap the benefits of them. Some businesses are vendors that provide organizations with these devices. In a sense, they act as the middle man between the producer and the consumer, acquiring devices for sale to businesses and users alike. In this way, vendors are critical for every single business.

There are vendors for just about anything that businesses need, including supplies, equipment, and services. One particularly important vendor nowadays is one that provides cloud-based services to businesses. Since the cloud is much more than just your average utility these days, your choice in vendor will play a significant role in how much your organization benefits from the cloud.

Selecting the Right Cloud Vendor
Doing your research is one of the best ways you can learn more about cloud providers and your specific goals. Once you have a list of your business’ priorities for both the short-term and long-term, you’ll be able to work with your IT resources to ensure that compatibility with the cloud is adequate. This is more involved than you might think. The vendor you ultimately go with needs to provide what you need at an affordable rate, and there should be some kind of consistent service that you can measure. You should also be able to trust your vendors to provide the agreed-upon services in a timely manner, whether it’s for services rendered or for equipment.

How Cloud Services Are Different
Vendors for cloud services are generally held to a higher standard. The data hosted in a cloud-based environment will naturally be at stake, meaning that security is a major aspect that can’t be ignored for these services. Be sure to also consider data access; who within your organization (and without) will be able to access data stored in the applications? Will your vendor be able to access it as well? Following the setup, you’ll have a variety of factors to include in your discussion with your vendors. This might include how important specific functions of your service are, how compliant their policies are, and how much risk is associated with working with the particular vendor.

L7 Solutions can help your business make the right call regarding its cloud services. To learn more, reach out to us at (954) 573-1300.
