Small businesses in Portland need every edge they can get.

Enter cloud solutions—a game-changer for anyone looking to streamline operations and reduce costs. Whether you’re a small legal practice or a boutique retail shop, shifting to the cloud can provide you with flexibility, scalability, and, most importantly, savings.

Leasing Capability vs Owning Assets

Why buy a server when you just rent the service? Why own a phone system when you can just use its capabilities? Why manage something yourself when somebody else can manage it for you?

Ultimately, these are the questions cloud computing attempts to answer. The answers aren’t right for everyone — sometimes, there is a strategic interest in owning assets — but, most often, for most small businesses, ownership comes at a high cost for managing IT assets. That cost for a qualified, modern technology professional could easily range from $90k-$500k per year. Looking at those numbers, comparing that cost (ownership, maintenance) against leasing capability starts making a lot more sense.

I’ll Let You In on a Secret

Here’s the scoop: cloud solutions let you store and access your data from anywhere.

Gone are the days of maintaining expensive hardware and complicated IT setups.

With cloud computing, your business can reduce IT overhead, cut down on hardware costs, and access real-time data, empowering you to make better, faster decisions.

Plus, as your business grows, you can easily scale your cloud services up or down, avoiding costly system upgrades.

And let’s talk about time! No more time wasted troubleshooting or worrying about data loss. With automatic backups, real-time collaboration tools, and enhanced security, cloud solutions keep your business running smoothly. Your team can work from anywhere, whether they’re grabbing coffee downtown or out meeting clients, keeping your operations as efficient as ever.

Here’s the secret: your competitors are using cloud computing, at low cost, with rapid deployment cycles. Are you? They’re able to work faster with lower overhead. Are you? They’re able to satisfy their customers anywhere, anytime. Are you?

Heck, you should be. Or you won’t be. Get my drift?

So, if you’re ready to save time and money, it’s time to embrace the cloud. Give me a ring. We’ll hug-it-out.
