RAMSEY, N.J., Nov. 16, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- In order to share their expertise with the business community, enterprise cloud services provider Comport, shares 4 reasons why companies should consider transitioning to the cloud.

For many years, companies have relied almost entirely on traditional on-site solutions in order to store their data. Now, more than ever before, however, cloud services offer a superior alternative that keeps companies protected and running efficiently.

Listed below are 4 reasons why companies should consider transitioning to the cloud.

Better Efficiency. One of the biggest advantages to having information stored in the cloud is that it allows employees to be more efficient. With everything stored in one location and easily accessible online, workers can work from wherever they happen to be and collaborate with one another faster and easier than with traditional on-site storage.

Many companies think of cloud storage as a simple place to keep their files, but it can have a real impact on the ability of employees to effectively do their jobs.

Cloud Backup. Part of the reason many companies are moving to the cloud is to have a solution in place should the worst come to pass. In the event of a hack or any other sort of catastrophic data loss, having copies of your data stored and maintained by a separate company with a commitment to data security can really save the day.

Cloud backups are an important part of the "3-2-1" approach to data management, with two on-site copies and one off-site to ensure a quick and easy rebound in the event of a disaster.

Scalability. For any business, and especially those who deal directly with the consumer, online traffic and data needs can vary significantly over the course of the year. One of the best examples of this is the holiday season, where there is a notable spike in online purchases and the need to retain that information. Those purchases put additional strains on a company's infrastructure, and unlike physical storage, cloud services can be expanded or scaled back quite easily whenever the need arises.

Mobility. Cloud storage is an excellent way to give employees unlimited access to documents and programs they need while storing the data safely. Rather than having crucial software on a physical on-site computer, workers will be able to take advantage of productivity tools within the cloud server and continue doing business as long as they can access the internet.

Giving employees the mobile access they want is an excellent solution for those out in the field or who work at home, and cloud storage is worth considering for a business of nearly any size for this reason. Don't wait until they get back into the office to protect their data!
