IT is one of those jobs that may just be the most demanding in the building. To succeed, you must simultaneously juggle the expectations of those with no understanding of technology (‘what do you mean you can’t implement a new helpdesk solution today?’) against those with a dangerous level of knowledge (‘just virtualise it!’).
The truth is, if you actually had the time in your day you could use your skills to achieve some pretty impressive things. Unfortunately, mundane admin tasks take up a disproportionately large amount of time.
This is where Cloud technology can help. With a customised Cloud solution in place, you get to kick a lot of goals (and everyone likes to look like a superhero, right?). As a tech-type, chances are you know all about Cloud computing and how nifty it can be. If you need a little assistance on the convincing front though, here are a few super good reasons your boss will want it:
- Reduce the IT administration and support workload, freeing up IT staff (that’s you) to do more value-add activities
- Eliminate the need to undertake regular software and hardware upgrades for day-to-day business and IT applications
- Improve the performance, reliability and security of these systems, supported by a comprehensive Service Level Agreement (SLA)
- Simplify budgeting by bundling IT hardware, licensing and support costs into a smooth, predictable monthly payment
- Reduce capital expenditure on big budget items like server upgrades
