We’ve been talking quite a bit about cloud recently and the explosive growth it has seen. More and more industries are adopting the technology and reaping the benefits. But which of these industries are seeing the most success with cloud technology?
Healthcare
In healthcare, data management is highly important
. Both doctors and patients want/need to be able to access medical records, images, reports and advice electronically. This makes cloud a viable option because it makes sharing information incredibly safer and easier while cutting cost and improving speed and efficiency. And let’s not forget that with solutions such as those offered by ShoreTel CONNECT, you should feel rest assured that the information you share is safe because of data encryption.
Education
Education is one of the fastest growing sectors in the country and has shown a strong interest in cloud computing. This sector wants a software desktop environment, less hardware, access to big data, and easy collaboration features between student-teacher, teacher-parent, student-student, school-school, etc. Cloud technology allows schools to do this better and more efficiently than any other solution, adding to the overall quality of education that each student receives.
Retail
When people talk about the retail industry, they rarely consider cloud computing an option to make business more efficient. But in fact, quite the contrary. Cloud computing allows them to operate their mobile workforces, makes transactions incredibly easier, opens doors for creative advertising tactics, share visual elements, and access big data.
Media
Today, people want to be able to access content from any device, and media providers need to enable this for their audience. Cloud-based entertainment allows for providers to showcase their content over multiple platforms in a high quality format with speed and ease.
Real Estate
The real estate sector is similar to the retail industry when it comes to cloud. These are people that are highly mobile and spend little time in the office, while spending a lot of time out in the field interacting with customers. In order to do good business, real estate agents need to be equipped with top notch mobility so that they can impress their customers. This is essential when they have to visually show and share their client’s properties, graphical representations, floor plans, and data. These are aspects we have seen that work very well in conjunction with cloud-based solutions.
Manufacturing
This industry has found many useful ways to utilize cloud computing. Cloud computing has been used in logistics, sales support, HR, product development, and life cycle management. These come through the mobility, sharing, and collaboration features of cloud.
Start-ups
Cloud based technologies work perfectly for start-ups. Start-ups usually are on strict budgets, have unknown growth expectations, and need a diverse set of features. They also need to be more tech savvy and mobile than other industries in order to manage not only day-to-day activities but also situations where they are constantly on the go doing pitches, meeting with customers or clients, and various other things. This can all enabled by implementing a cloud-based solution.
