Cloud Computing Infographics

When researching just about anything, chances are most people have probably come across something called an Infographic. An infographic is essentially a graphic that presents key pieces of information on a specific topic in a visually pleasing and easy to process manner.  Because an infographic is presented using a digital medium, it is usually colorful and includes pertinent images or pictures. With their usefulness as a learning tool and their visual appeal, it is easy to see why infographics are a great way to easily learn about a specific topic.

With that in mind, today we are going to share two interesting and informative cloud computing infographics with our readers.  The first one is called Moving Your Business to the Cloud. This infographic begins with five ways your business can benefit from cloud computing: scalability, security, flexibility, accessibility, and affordability.  This infographic continues with a brief and user-friendly definition of the three main types of cloud based services for businesses: Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (Paas), and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS).  The second half of this infographic shares some statistics related to cloud computing such as the top business applications that are currently in the cloud and the top industries adopting cloud based solutions among other things.  This is the perfect infographic for anyone who would like a quick and easy to understand overview of some basic facts around cloud computing.  Click on the link above to view the Moving Your Business to the Cloud in its entirety and read through the details of each point.

The second infographic we would like to share with our readers is Why Cloud is a Big Deal for Small Businesses.  We discussed some of the information contained in this infographic several weeks ago in our article, SMB and The Cloud – A Perfect Marriage? and the infographic we have linked to here is a nice compliment to our earlier article. This infographic offers some interesting statistics on cloud computing as it relates to small businesses such as a comparison of on premise startup costs versus cloud startup costs, top small business uses of the cloud, and small business cloud adoption rates and projections.  There are also several information point boxes on this infographic such as “Where can Small Business Leverage the Cloud?” and benefits of using the cloud for small businesses.  This is a succinct and informative infographic that would be perfect for a CIO to share with the CEO of a small business that is considering adopting a cloud based business management system, or for any small business professional looking to learn some quick facts about cloud computing as it relates to small business.

Hopefully you have found these infographics we linked to here useful and informative.  If you are considering a web based ERP system or a cloud based ecommerce solution for your business, you most likely have additional questions after reviewing these infographics.   Feel free to contact The Vested Group today to discuss your ideas and business needs.  We would be more than happy to further clarify cloud computing for you!
