Based on information from the Infostreet.com blog, we are living in a decade of Smartphones, tablets, and of course the Cloud. All of these make working from any location – that is, outside of an actual office – easy. Although there are some businesses that flourish by having all of their employees in one location and working under one roof, many succeed by having their team working remotely or individually from several different locations.

For any business with remote workers, keeping track of their team and having an efficient means of communication is vital for company growth and success. A secure intranet system in the Cloud, with some form of Cloud-based applications, are essential connectivity tools for a small business to compete in today’s market. InfoStreet.com’s StreetSmart is a suite of Cloud apps that gives a small business the solutions it needs to stay mobile, connected, and efficient.

Wireless Extenders is a leading provider of cell phone signal boosters. Prior to July 2010, the company maintained its IT infrastructure primarily on-premises, on a single server. Communication and collaboration tools were limited, yet the server still required significant system administration. Wireless Extenders decided to move to the Microsoft Business Productivity Online Standard Suite—a hosted communication and collaboration solution that helps companies improve business productivity, without the need to maintain a complex IT infrastructure. With help from InLigo, Wireless Extenders made the move to Business Productivity Online in a weekend—and it is now benefiting from improved communication, collaboration, and productivity; reduced IT effort; improved reliability and security; a 44 percent cost savings over the next three years; and the support of a strong local partner.

Cloud FAQ #47: What are the most common uses of the cloud for a small business?

For many SMBs, using the cloud to get access to applications (SaaS) is a popular option.

With SaaS, SMBs can acquire a range of applications, ranging from business productivity apps like email and collaboration tools, to mission-critical apps like CRM and ERP without making significant investments in hardware and software licenses.

Another option that appeals to SMBs is infrastructure-as-a-service — using the cloud to gain access to storage, memory and CPUs on an as-needed basis.

For both applications and infrastructure, the cloud offers your SMB customers IT resources on par to what larger organizations have, without the upfront investments and ongoing costs. That offers more flexibility for your SMB customer and more room for margin for you.
