As tech prognosticators have predicted, cloud computing has quickly become quite the dominant enterprise IT. Just about every organization uses the cloud. Corporate policies against the cloud, dubbed “no cloud”, will soon be seen just as archaic as the policies against web use from yesteryear. You will not find such policies at IT companies in Houston nor should they exist in any other modern enterprise. Here’s a look at how to use the cloud for innovation in addition to operations:
Making the Shift from Operating to Innovating
The IT skills gap reduces productivity and overall progression in the cloud. This gap has stifled innovation to a certain extent. The majority of IT teams lack the bandwidth and resources required to use the cloud’s full capacity to innovate. Those that leverage a savvy managed cloud services group will find their staff has the flexibility necessary to pursue additional cloud opportunities.
Plenty of IT personnel are used to being concerned about whether servers are in operation, if backups ran the night prior, and if drives are in working order. Think about how nice it would be to be liberated from these concerns while an IT group handles them. You can zero in on projects that need extra attention. The end result will be much more of a proactive approach rather than a reactive one, allowing your team to innovate when necessary.
Select Carefully
Though there are a lot of IT companies in Houston, when choosing an IT provider, select a partner that has provided results for other clients, has a track record of success and good relationships with cloud platform providers. Consider if the candidate has the tools required to enhance the cloud selection process, if ongoing optimization will be stressed, and how detailed the information governance options are.
