As the economic recession continues to drag on, many companies have been forced to make drastic cuts in their services just to stay alive and the most common services that a company will typically cut first are in house technology resources like content management, email marketing and web hosting.
Even though these cuts may be necessary, they don’t have to be permanent thanks to more affordable cloud computing solutions that can be found online.
Cloud Hosting
This form of hosting is one of the most popular these days because cloud hosting delivers on its promises of near 100% up time compared to other web hosts that promise 99% up time or less. With a cloud hosting company the resources that are in use on a website like a database, shopping cart and email marketing resources are spread out over more than one server so if one server goes down there will always be other severs online to insure that the entire website and all of its resources won’t go down at the same time.
Cloud Contact Management
One of the most popular cloud computing solutions is contact management. With online solutions like salesforce.com any company has the ability to manage its database of customers, conduct email marketing campaigns, track prospects and open up new accounts all from one simple, online solution.
Cloud Content Management
Another popular cloud solution is enterprise content management. With online content management solutions like SpringCM, any business can easily manage all of their documents, share with colleagues or co-workers, manage schedules or calendars and plan projects and events all online.
Many companies are choosing online content management solutions in this day and age to break away from having file cabinets full of documents plus streamline the sharing process with individuals who need to be “in the know” on certain projects.
