The work you do at the front end to get the most out of your investment in cloud storage and security offers a potential return on that investment that could have a significant impact on your company and its ability to remain competitive for the long term. What do you need to consider in your planning?

• It’s about speed. It’s worth evaluating broadband speed options in terms of file sharing capabilities as well as uplink speed requirements. By approaching your solution upgrade in this manner, you position your business to sustain innovation, achieve faster time to market with new products or services, and promote a greater sense of ownership and accountability among employees.
• The longer-term impact of an infrastructure upgrade. Implementing new tools and strategies prepares your company to jump on what’s next, because you’ll already have the systems in place to move forward with whatever the next development turns out to be. You won’t have to play catch up with updates, upgrades, and reconfigurations before you can act.
• Work with good partners. Confer with your broadband, cloud storage, and security solution providers and vendors to get their input on further business applications of the tools you’re considering adopting. They should be able to help you evaluate and optimize your use of those technologies.

By approaching new technologies as keys to long-term growth rather than as expenses, you ensure that the solutions you implement today will scale to your future security—and business—needs and support your growth objectives.
