While cloud computing has been around for a number of years, over the last three years it has evolved to be the in-demand service and strategic operations tool for companies of all shapes and sizes.  While some will tout the affordability aspect of cloud technologies due to its ability to help reduce capital expenditures and the consumption of IT budgets and resources, the real gain for firms can often appear as enhancements to a business continuity and disaster recovery plans. Still, while the cost benefits can be substantial, placing IT resources in the cloud is not without its challenges, particularly for those firms in the financial and healthcare services industries. 

So, what then, is the solution? If all types of businesses from SMBs to Fortune 50 companies are using cloud computing how can you determine if it is the right move for you and your business?  Do the savings on hardware and software licensing, outweigh any unforeseen information security risks? Does it align with your firm's business goals and technology architecture? These are not simple questions, and Trillium can help you address these dilemmas by ensuring your consideration of working in the cloud makes sense for your business.

For the vast majority of firms exploring the option of cloud computing, the process can be daunting, and for some, overwhelming. Add to this, the increasing number of vendors to choose from, and a mix of thought leaders on both sides of the fence with regard to its benefits and detractions, asking for a little guidance has become the norm. We're able to help firms by conducting a full assessment of the firm's IT architecture and business strategy via requirement gathering, vendor selection process, planning, execution, and post implementation analysis.

Trillium's relationships with a growing list of cloud providers that include Google, Egnyte, BMC Remedy, Microsoft 365, Service-Now, and Backup.com to name a few, and the expertise of our project leaders with backgrounds in a host of industry verticals, has allowed us unparalleled access to technical resources and data center architects, that will help you through this nascent maze of technology.

So, whether your decision making revolves around data ownership, application performance, security, or cloud binding contracts, Trillium's experience in helping companies walk through and analyze their needs by using full life-cycle measures will help you determine the correct cloud strategy.

Finally, it is important to keep in mind that cloud computing is not just for SMBs. Yes, there are thousands of SMBs using cloud services, but the biggest growth is coming from the enterprise level, and those firms are using the platform for everything from customer resource management tools (CRMs) to email.
