COVID-19 not only sabotaged people’s health but also their businesses, which came to a sudden halt. Gladly, covishield was discovered and came to the rescue of the struggling economy. “Vaccines” saved people’s lives and “Cloud Computing” their livelihood, by stagnating businesses. Reports suggested that the collaborative platforms of the company had about 20 million regular users before the pandemic, which has now reached over 44 million.
Considering all the key factors to see how cloud computing is a lifeline to businesses amid the pandemic we have outlined the following:
It eliminates the need of maintaining an IT setup at home
The cost only consists of the services & infrastructure used
It helps responding to the market demands on time
Not only this, but businesses also heavily rely on cloud computing for many operational strategies.
Helping businesses to handle changes in customer behavior
Social distancing and lockdowns were the only two measures the government used to save human lives. As a result, people started spending more time in their home, reading articles, news, making friends through social media, conducting online meetings, streaming web series and shows on OTT platforms, entertainment apps, which resulted in increasing online activities and the number of downloads.
To adapt to this changing behavior patterns of users and help businesses operate seamlessly and successfully, cloud adoption became a necessity.
Integrating business ecosystems
The COVID-19 has made the world realize the necessity of embracing cloud integration and formulating strategies. For SMEs it will be playing an immensely important role in accessing the capacities of large data in the highly competitive market.
Also, it helps businesses efficiently store and manage enterprise data along with the security. Not only that, but also speeds up the processing of data and makes the creation and distribution of the new apps available to the user.
Helping businesses deal with the unpredictability
It helps the businesses to be prepared for unpredictable scenarios. Getting the work done remotely in different shifts like overnight, handling clients in different time zones. Not only it helped their core industry but also the educational institutions took a revolutionary change. Virtual schools made that possible. Having said that, it enabled the financial wheel to keep rolling.
Thus, “Cloud Technology” along with the Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things can help businesses in meeting all the ends. Although we know this pandemic dust will eventually settle down, the taste of digital empowerment and cloud tech will always be a dominant aspect of corporate infrastructure. We at @CloudPloys make sure that the digital revolution is upon us.
