The Benefits of Migrating Your Email to the Cloud

Migrating your on-premise email systems to the cloud may seem like an intimidating endeavor. However, in the long term this transition can bring many benefits to your organization. This article aims to highlight some of the advantages of migrating your emails to the cloud.

Financial Savings
For small businesses, one of the most important considerations when investing in IT infrastructure is the financial costs, as they often work with limited budgets. Many small organizations are intimidated by the potentially expensive up-front set up costs of migrating to the cloud.

However in the long term cloud email platforms can actually save your company money through reductions in on-site server costs, software licensing, and equipment maintenance. Additionally, cloud providers offer a variety of different plans for organizations of varying sizes and requirements, ensuring that you do not need to purchase any more services than you require. Migrating to a cloud email platform can also free up your in-house resources from having to manage and maintain email configurations, allowing them to troubleshoot day-to-day issues for the team instead.

Reliable Data Protection
Unauthorized access to sensitive emails can lead to devastating impacts for your organization’s reputation. Migrating to the cloud can help to reduce the chance of a data breach, as your sensitive is stored off-site in protected servers that are designed to keep your information safe from cyberattack.

Reduce the Risk of Outages
Outages or downtime can be a major inhibitor to your company’s productivity. If your team is unable to complete basic business functions due to emails being unavailable, it can cause major impacts your customer satisfaction and business delivery. This in turn can lead to long term damages to your organization’s reputation. For on-premise email solutions, your emails could be vulnerable to downtime caused by server failure. This risk is massively reduced by migrating your email platform to the cloud, as these providers utilize numerous fail-safes in order to ensure that their coverages are available 24/7/365.

Easily Scalable Solutions
For on-premise solutions, it is often a challenge to scale infrastructure due to to the fact that new hardware or licensing may be required when the number of users changes. On the other hand cloud-based solutions make scaling easy, as providers can simply modify your existing plan to accommodate for changes to your organization, without the need for massive infrastructural changes.

Secure and Reliable Backups
Backups are essential in disaster recovery situations – when your systems go down, it is important to be able to recover lost information quickly to minimize productivity impacts.
