Why Cloud Hesitancy is Stalling Your Print Business?

 

Many businesses are moving their data and applications to the cloud in an increasingly digital world. But for some companies, the cloud can be a scary place. A new study has found that security concerns are the main reason businesses are hesitant to move to the cloud. The research, which Gartner conducted, surveyed IT professionals in various industries and found that 23 per cent of respondents said security was their primary concern when migrating to the cloud.

Introduction: Defining "the cloud."

Resources are shared and managed over the internet. You can access your data and applications anytime with a laptop, tablet or smartphone. All data is stored on a third-party server. You don't have to buy hardware or software. You pay for what you use.

The benefits of cloud computing for businesses

It includes:

·         Better access to information.

·         Increased productivity.

·         More efficient use of IT resources.

·         Lower costs.

Why some print businesses are reluctant to move to the cloud

Print businesses are often reluctant to move to the cloud computing because they're concerned about security, data privacy and the cost of using cloud services.

Costs can be a significant factor. The price of printing in the cloud is usually far higher than buying your own printers. You can save money by printing in the cloud, however. For example, you can set up an automatic e-commerce solution to print items you sell online. You can also use a cloud service for documents you distribute internally.

The advantages of having a hybrid printing solution

Hybrid printing solutions combine on-premises and cloud printing. You can save money using a hybrid solution, but you'll still have to pay for the infinity cloud service. Hybrid printing solutions provide a good solution for organizations that need to print on demand. For example, you might use an e-commerce solution to sell t-shirts online. You can set up your website so that people order the t-shirt they want, and then it's printed by a cloud service.

The disadvantages of not moving to the cloud

Hybrid printing solutions are an intermediate step to moving to the cloud. The main disadvantage of using a hybrid solution is that you're adding costs and complexity to your network. It's also possible that you'll end up with a hybrid solution that is more expensive than it should be.

Conclusion: The pros of cloud adoption outweigh the cons

To summarize, the pros are:

·         Increased efficiency.

·         Easier management of print jobs.

·         Better security of your data and documents.

·         Reduced costs for printing for both you and your users.
