JAN - FEB 202519 other difficulties, such as ransomware via web gateway, for which an adequate security perimeter is required, along with re-support. What benefits have you derived from cloud implementation in your organization?The primary advantage we have gained from implementing cloud strategies is cost savings. Unlike physical infrastructure, which requires a one-time investment, cloud infrastructure requires ongoing investment over time. This alleviates the stress of a one-time investment. Furthermore, when a company is well-versed in cloud strategies, the infrastructure can be closed and replaced solely by cloud services. This option also allows for cost savings. According to me, the secondary benefit of cloud implementation is access to advanced technology. Though building the digital infrastructure for such advanced technology as machine learning or artificial intelligence on premise may incur significant costs and effort, access to advanced technology is a benefit of cloud implementation. If a business does not use these advantages in the modern era, it may eventually put it at a competitive disadvantage.Is there any advice or message that you would like to give your peers or our readers about adopting cloud?I would recommend taking advantage of the cloud's benefits. This is simple for larger companies; however, for smaller companies, I would recommend modeling infrastructure as software as a service. The software integrated into the cloud today can control demand, supply, and logistics, which is one of its many advantages. The cloud also helps with ERP. A wide range of business applications is already available through the cloud. For example, during the pandemic, our company used a cloud-based application to remotely track our employees' working hours. My advice is to find the simplest way for the cloud to benefit your company and utilize it to its full potential.
