Why Employees Love the Cloud

Here on The Vested Group blog we write a lot about how cloud computing benefits and influence business practices and processes.  There are many great things to be said about the impact cloud technology is having from an operations perspective.  But what about the effects of cloud computing from the perspective of employees? As you would expect, cloud technology is having a positive impact on end users as well.

Flexibility

It seems like we hear the word “flexibility” over and over again whenever the benefits of cloud computing are being discussed.  While we already know that cloud technology offers a huge amount of flexibility and agility to the operations and IT side of organizations that use a cloud solution, the same benefit of flexibility transfers to the end user as well.  Cloud technology allows employees to work any time from just about any place and it only stands to reason that this increases their level of productivity and job satisfaction.  With some experts predicting that mobile access will surpass desktop access as early as next year, the flexibility cloud technology allows you is crucial. 

Focus

Just as cloud technology allows CIOs and IT staff to focus more of their time, energy, and resources on creating value rather than servicing infrastructure, the cloud has a similar effect on end user focus as well.  The combination of any time any place access and the relief from the hiccups, glitches, and downtime that is all too common with site based systems gives employees more freedom to focus on productivity and taking projects to new heights as opposed to wasting time dealing with technical issues or waiting for on site access. 

Security

Data security is another topic that comes up often in conversations about cloud computing. From the perspective of the end user, security is often better when it comes to a cloud based working environment.  It is estimated that over 800,000 laptops are lost in airports alone each year.  This could be disastrous considering document recovery and information security if you are not working for a cloud based company.  But as painful as losing your laptop may be, those who enjoy a cloud based organization can rest assured that their documents can be instantly accessed from a new laptop and information security is just a password change away.
