Once You're on The Cloud, The Innovation is Just Beginning |
Posted: June 14, 2022 |
Cloud computing is an umbrella term for the idea that you can use a remote server as if it were your personal computer. You can access all your files, get primary backup storage, and otherwise have a more extensive data capacity. Cloud migration opens up new possibilities for innovation. Companies tend to move their storage and computing onto the cloud to take advantage of an efficient, scalable, and affordable method of storing data. However, once they’re there, they’ll be able to accomplish things they hadn’t considered before. One of our clients, for example, employs NovaWorks’ cloud-based ePetitions service, which allows citizens to submit online petitions to parliament. Moving to a cloud-based solution not only enhanced user experience, but the parliament quickly recognised that, thanks to the cloud, they could now employ AI and analytics in previously unimaginable ways. Previously, petitions were handled manually, with personnel having to go through each submission and manually filter out those that were nasty or useless. However, after migrating to the cloud, AI algorithms could automate the initial screening, increasing department productivity and improving morale by allowing personnel to focus on higher-value duties. Another customer wished to open up one of its virtual machines to the public and set up a VPN. This was the ‘conventional’ technique and typical application of cloud resources. We were able to show them that because they were using Microsoft Azure, they could quickly create a guest account and then use the remote desktop solution, Azure Bastion, that was already deployed in the environment. This helped to use the cloud’s strategic advantages without spending more. When companies begin to investigate what they have available to them in cloud migration, the value they gain from cloud migration sometimes comes as a surprise. Following the transfer, businesses will have access to hundreds of cloud services that will help them increase efficiency and innovation. All they need to do now is recognise the opportunity. A partner like NovaWorks adds value to our customers by assisting them in identifying these opportunities. It does so by working with our customers through a customised discovery process to help them understand the needs and opportunities for cloud computing in their organisation. We use the technology ourselves and keep up with the numerous services offered by public cloud providers. We want to help our customers utilise and understand the processes involved in adopting cloud computing and make the most out of their investments.
