Small and medium scale businesses have
unique and different problems than the bigger firms as per the research study.
The first major problem is availability of capital for setting up or running a
business. Let us assume that, by some means capital is arranged but this
investment usually is whole sum in nature for setting up anything new, be it a new
business or expansion plans. But returns and growth of the business are not
guaranteed. In this scenario, a business man always tries to distribute his
cost over a period and spend or expand as and when he finds increased customers
or signs of business growth.
So, renting a place for a business is one
good example instead of owning. Renting more space as number of staff grows due
to increased business is smart thing instead of renting excess space in
advance.
Now apply this logic straight to your
investment for IT infrastructure for business. At present traditional IT
systems investment is like owning a space with huge capital investment. In
Today’s competitive business environment without IT or without upgrading your
existing IT up to date, it is very difficult to survive. Here we come to second
major problem faced by SMBs, not technologically up to date. But I have a good
news for you, cloud products like office365, custom
applications for your business with pay as you use model (SAAS) solves
these two problems strategically and tactically.
No capital investment required for IT
infrastructure as it is a cloud based software suit which means you need a
basic machine and an internet connection to use these set of office and business
productivity tools online and save all your documents, data, email etc.…online.
No IT infrastructure so no Maintenance required as you don’t have any locally
installed servers or hardware of any kind. If you have already invested on
infrastructure it is wise thing to extend any further investments to cloud. There
are lot of right and cost effective solutions for you to move on cloud.
The first problem of capital investment is
solved and pay for this service like you do for your business space on rental
basis. Pay as you use and as much as you use monthly. Subscriptions cost as low
as Few hundred rupees /month/users to few thousand rupees up to certain number
of users and applications across devices per user like PC, laptop, android
phone etc.… leading to work anywhere anytime concept.
So, coming to second problem that is being
up-to date with the technology. Cloud applications are rolling update model
which means always updated with new features or client requested minor changes
for no extra cost. you can use world class, updated productivity tools and
remain competitive globally.
Everything said and done still there is
major hitch in adopting this recommended solution, which is understanding this
technology, moving from legacy system to this new system or going for a hybrid
structure to make use of existing IT infrastructure, making employees to learn
and use new tools etc...
