SMB and Cloud – Growing Affiliation
Hosting: Office vs Cloud
A vast majority of SMBs are becoming extremely dependent on IT
solutions to run the business more efficiently and accurately. While
deploying an IT based HR solution, they scout for products that are
inexpensive, intuitive, inconspicuous and flexible. The in-house
based solutions lose their sheen because of its dependency on IT
staff (in-house), hardware cost, maintenance cost and laborious
configuration needs to suit business requirements. The logical
choice therefore is to migrate entirely to cloud in order to suit ever
evolving HR needs.
The choice: Site vs Cloud
With on-premise or in-house built solutions, the SMB has to
acquire the hardware and invest on human capital to install,
configure, manage and operate. Apart from solution and human
capital cost, the Business owner has to face hidden costs such
as, electricity, maintenance, support etc. Over a period of time
these hidden costs drain the bottom-line of running a business.
Cloud based HR solutions come with the added advantage of
installation, configuration and management being the solution
provider's headache. Irrespective of location the service provider
ensures that all your employees are connected with the
organisation and that HR requirements are duly met.
Cloud-based HR solutions also allow customers to easily match
service levels to their changing needs, by paying one time
implementation cost. With pay-as-you-go model HR solutions
on cloud extend the flexibility to SMBs to choose and reduce
any overheads that come with on-site solutions.
Here the choice lies between two things i.e. either satisfying the need
to have important hardware or using hosted applications that are
extremely user friendly. It is about where important business
applications are hosted keeping in mind concerns about obtainability,
security, cost & portability of data. Due to advancement in access to
the World Wide Web, hosted applications get expensive.

Security: Office vs. Cloud
Security maintenance is a mammoth task since it involves
providing data and operational security to hugely
expensive setups which matter. An SMB is not so
proficient to match the expertise of a specialized
cloud-based security solution run by a group of personnel
whose main aim is security and deployment of the latest
measures. To match the fast changing face of Information
Technology, cloud based technologies are also advancing
rapidly. The providers are investing huge amounts in
security, auditing techniques & certifications and skills.
The multitenant design allows SMBs to reap the same
benefits of security like those with highest security needs.
Thanks to the dynamic cloud technology, SMBs are now at
par with their bigger competitors with regard to security
management.
Undoubtedly cloud is the best solution for a scattered task
force. Voice over Internet Protocol delivered from cloud
excludes the primary financial expense thereby providing
greater scalability and flexibility. Network management/
maintenance problems are avoided by SMBs since provider
manages the operation and maintenance of the system
which is moved off site. Since the purchases of SMBs are
limited to just phones, there is a dedicated routing device
and also an emergency back up to a traditional telephone
network. This makes the setup of cloud based VoIP faster
and inexpensive to install, but still ensures smooth
business continuity.
