Using the latest Cloud Technology can be amazingly flexible and economical for SMEs. It has a huge advantage that there are no upfront costs and you can buy as much space as you need as you go along – a bit like the national grid! We set this up for our clients and it can all be managed for a cost-effective monthly fee.

But don’t take our word for it… we thought it might be useful to do a series of short case studies on our clients to demonstrate the benefits of this new technology. We have therefore invited one of our SME clients, PINK, to talk about how being in The Cloud is working for them.

CASE STUDY 1
“We are an events, branding and communications consultancy working with clients of all sizes globally. Having a great IT system is non-negotiable for us and there were definite gaps… Moving to The Cloud under the guidance of Virtual Networking has been amazing and we love it! It has brought us the following benefits:

• Hosted email – our SPAM has reduced to almost nothing, we can share contacts and calendars and everything is automatically backed up without us having to think about it!
• File sharing – we can access our files from anywhere in the world and version control has become a dream instead of a nightmare!
• A ready-made disaster recovery plan – we travel regularly and have a morbid dread of losing a laptop and arriving on site without the relevant files and data. Now we’re in The Cloud, we could theoretically go out and buy a new laptop and be up and running again within the hour!

And talking of Virtual Networking, Scott and the team moved us into the cloud with virtually no interruption to our business – fantastic!”

Thanks to Sue Simmonds and Kerry Wiles from PINK for sharing their good news!

Hopefully, this clearly demonstrates why Cloud Technologies are so important in this day and age and how Virtual Networking can help.
