And it appears you aren\u2019t alone. According to recent<a href=\"http:\/\/www.gartner.com\/newsroom\/id\/2865322\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"> research from Gartner<\/span><\/a>, the average IT budget <strong>will grow by just 1 percent<\/strong> from 2014 to 2015.<br \/>\nAvoid the misconception that a limited budget limits your choices. Moving to the cloud can be far less expensive than you might think. Here\u2019s why:<\/p>\n<h1><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>Implementation is faster, simpler and can be phased<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n<p>Before the cloud came along, upgrading communications meant replacing old hardware\u2014such as servers\u2014with new equipment, a complex and often expensive process. Additionally, someone had to install that new equipment, so your company was either paying a third-party or pulling your internal team away from other mission-critical projects to complete the installation.<br \/>\nSince moving to the cloud requires minimal to no new hardware \u2013 you typically only need to purchase and install any desk phones that you decide to use \u2013 the implementation process is shorter and less expensive than what you may have experienced in the past. You can move the project along at the right pace for your organization by easily migrating departments, teams or locations in manageable batches onto your new software. You buy only what you need when you need it, with the ability to add extra licenses or access as required, turning up new capacity in hours to days instead of potentially weeks.<\/p>\n<h1><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>Capital expenditure and operating expenses are reduced<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n<p>Moving to the cloud frees you from a capital outlay for hardware and, as a result, from significant equipment maintenance and repair costs as well. Since the cloud provider is managing your overall telecom infrastructure, you and your staff have more time to focus on other critical and strategic business needs. Operating expenses can be reduced as well as your IT team spends less time monitoring and maintaining the system.<\/p>\n<h1><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>Monthly bills are reduced<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n<p>Cloud communications can actually help you slash your monthly telecom costs. During a temporary busy period, a cloud environment allows you to quickly scale up capacity to support call volumes and then scale down when necessary as opposed to continuing to pay for capacity you don\u2019t use. Plus, since there is no need to power &amp; cool on-site equipment, savings are often reflected in lower utility bills as well.<\/p>\n<h1><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>Business growth offsets costs<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n<p>Any cost-benefit analysis must take into account projected ROI for a new deployment. The cloud can be a key business driver in several areas. For example, many businesses are able to provide better customer service and boost productivity thanks to rich feature sets and enhanced reliability. Such benefits can translate directly into increased customer loyalty and corresponding profitability. The bottom line is that a cloud migration will pay for itself quickly and many times over.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/corvisa.com\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">www.corvisa.com<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cloud computing is when companies rent and share computers owned by a tech provider, accessing them over the internet.
