The Cloud can help you grow your business into a big business. If you haven't already made the jump, know that your competitors probably already have.

2. Grow Your Small Business into a Big Business
in The Cloud
Small business is the place where innovation usually happens. Small
business can make changes on a dime. Small business is agile.
It’s agility that allows small business to become big business.
But are small businesses quick to use new technology? Not so much.
If you are a business running with one, two, or 10 people, you don’t
really have time to investigate and make changes to what you do
today.
Cloud services change that.

3. More is possible for small business
So much of what the cloud offers is ideal for small enterprise.
If you want to grow, there’s never been a better time to jump into the
newest technology.
And as more business services are added to what the cloud offers -
beyond mail and social media – it’s small business that benefits most.

4. Everywhere on Anything
Cloud services let you do your work
- wherever you are
- on any device
Work no longer follows you back to the office.
It’s perfect for any mobile business, such as field services.
• A great example is an accounting service. It used to have to happen
back at the office. Now, with the right service, you invoice your
client and your records are up to date immediately. That means
there’s no more catching up on billing.
That means you get paid sooner.

5. An Inexpensive Way to Grow your Business
Cloud services are easily expandable. A cloud app scales to your
business needs.
As the number of people you work with grows, your service can
expand to accommodate them.
You pay just for the service you need.

6. The Range of Services Includes
All Business - Large and Small
Now computing power doesn’t need to hold back your business. The
features and the hardware needed to run what used to be big business
software is available to everyone.
This includes more than just the business functionality. With most
services, time and resource consuming tasks like hardware
maintenance and creating backups come along with your cloud
services.
As a small business, you and your team can spend more time growing
the business and less time acting as IT technicians.

7. Nothing can stop your business
All businesses have to plan for emergencies, but now disaster doesn’t
mean having to pick up the pieces of your business.
Since there’s nothing physically on site, if there’s a catastrophe, you
can be up and working with your computing and all of your data intact
immediately.
More commonly, day to day business includes some user error. Even if
you delete information by accident, most cloud services provide
features to restore lost data.

8. Online is Great, but…
The cloud is great for all of these reasons, but what happens when you can’t
connect to it?
It never hurts to have your data stored locally as well. Depending on the app,
you may be able to have the best of both worlds. You can be in the cloud and
on the ground at the same time.
Some services store data on your device and sync with the cloud when a
connection is available. These let you work just as efficiently offline, and are
smart alternatives where a connection isn’t available where you do your
work.
This also helps in regions with expensive data plans, such as when travelling
away from your home network. Wifi may be far more cost effective.

9. When is There Too Much Cloud?
There are a lot of different services out there.
Starting out in the cloud you may find you and your team are using
many different services to run your business. It’s not uncommon to
find people flipping between file sharing, business management, client
services, social media and other communications to get the job done.
Once you know what you need, it’s a good idea to look for a solution
for your business that addresses your needs with the fewest number
of pieces. The fewer the pieces, the less there is to manage and the
better the communication is between them.
Don’t forget to check references online – make sure you are picking
the right service

10. Cloud Support
Whatever services you choose for whatever size of business you have,
make sure you have support.
When settling on a solution, do your research.
Read reviews. Look at the developer’s history of supporting their
products.
Make sure help is available, reliable, and excellent. Remember that
you’ll be basing your business decisions and activities on the service
you choose.

11. It’s Time to Make the Move
In the cloud, your small business will work more efficiently.
You’ll run your business better.
You’ll spend less time configuring and managing software and more
time using the business features that help you understand how your
business is doing.
And, you don’t want to be left in the dust by your competitors. If you
decide not to move to the latest technology, keep in mind that your
top competitors are probably there.
