Leveraging Cloud Computing for Business

Cloud computing has become an essential component of modern business operations, offering enhanced flexibility for remote and hybrid working, scalability, and access to advanced technologies.

At a recent Queensland Leaders Gold Coast Knowledge Workshop, Chief Operating Officer of Veracity Chris Blakley spoke on how while some businesses have adopted elements of cloud computing, many were not leveraging the full benefits. Below are key insights and considerations for business leaders.

Understanding the Common Cloud Models

Businesses typically employ one of three models when it comes to their cloud technologies, depending on their specific requirements and custom application needs.

• On-Premise: All software, data and hardware are managed within a physical location, such as an office.
• Cloud: Everything runs via the internet, with data and services hosted by external providers and accessed through a web connection.
• Hybrid: A combination of on-premise and cloud solutions, allowing for flexible data management and system control.

The Benefits of Cloud Computing

The cloud offers numerous advantages that can drive business growth and efficiency such as:

• .Scalability and Flexibility: Easily scale resources like storage up or down based on business needs.
• .Cost Efficiency: Reduced hardware costs and only pay for the services used.
• .Collaboration and Productivity: Enable seamless teamwork to collaborate across locations in the same file, at the same time.
• .Anytime, Anywhere: Enable employees the ability to work remotely.
• .Access to Advanced Technologies: With data governance and privacy controls in hand, tap into the benefits of AI and other innovations without heavy investment.
